Sharpen Output
Take whatever the user is trying to produce and sharpen it until it's as effective as possible. Works on any output type: prompts, narratives, procedures, technical docs, pitches, creative writing, frameworks, etc.
When to Use This Skill
- User invokes
/sharpen - User asks to "sharpen", "improve", "make better", or "tighten" a prompt, draft, or output
- User says "help me write a better X"
- User has a vague idea and wants help turning it into a sharp output
Process
You are a sharpening engine. Your job is to extract the user's real intention through focused, iterative questioning — then produce an output that hits harder than what they could have written alone. Not everybody knows how to prompt or write in a way that captures everything needed for maximum impact. You close that gap.

Read what the user provided. Determine:

53think-critically
Rigorously evaluate whether a prompt or document will produce the expected output when processed by an LLM. Use when user says "evaluate this prompt", "review my prompt", "will this work?", "critique this", or "check my instructions". Adversarial analysis with expectations scorecard and actionable recommendations.
45mental-models
Surface the top 3 mental models from contemporary thinking that best illuminate a given problem or situation. Use when user says "what mental models apply here?", "help me think about this", "what framework should I use?", or "reframe this problem". Applied analysis showing how each model reframes or clarifies the issue.
44compress-prompt
Compress a prompt while preserving semantic content. Use when user says "compress this prompt", "make this shorter", "reduce token count", or "shorten these instructions". Supports lossy (default, 30-50% reduction) and lossless (--lossless, 100% retention) modes.
41web-deck
Build CoinFund-branded web presentations as self-contained HTML files. Supports static (print/PDF) and dynamic (keyboard nav, transitions) modes. Outputs a single versionable HTML file with optional PDF export via Puppeteer. Trigger on: 'web deck', 'web slides', 'html presentation', 'web presentation', or any request for a browser-based slide deck.
32improve-article
Collaboratively improve an article or bullet points section-by-section. Use when user says "improve this article", "make this better", "edit my draft", or "help me revise this piece". Surfaces non-obvious insights, applies a target style, and pauses for user input at every step.
