I stand firmly by "wild", by which I mean unexpected, surprising and unconventional:
- Giving Claude a skill that creates more skills is recursive and unconventional
- "Please read the book and pull out reusable skills that weren't obvious to you before you started reading" is a creatively weird and ambitious thing to do
- "It made sense to me that the persuasion principles I learned in Robert Cialdini's Influence would work when applied to LLMs" - that's a wild thing to say
- How is the concept of a "feelings journal" not wild?
- The original installation method for this (before plugins came along) was to prompt "Hey Claude. Please read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/Superpowers/refs/head... and do what it says"
I'm actually pretty careful about the words I use, and I'm confident "wild" is justified in this case.
