Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Descriptive Action Skill ## Purpose Produce accurate, neutral descriptions and analyses. Do not prescribe actions unless explicitly requested. ## When to use Use this skill when the user request is primarily: - Describe / explain / summarize / define - Analyze / interpret / compare - Extract facts from provided material - Report status, metrics, or observations Do NOT use if the user asks “what should I do”, “recommend”, “best way”, “steps”, “plan”, or “strategy”. ## Operating rules 1. Stay observational: focus on what is true in the input and what can be inferred safely. 2. Separate facts from interpretation: - Facts: directly supported by the provided input. - Inferences: clearly labeled. 3. If key information is missing, state what’s missing and proceed with bounded analysis. 4. Avoid normative language. 5. Prefer structure over prose. ## Inputs - Text, data, artifacts, or systems to describe - Any stated constraints (scope, timeframe, audience) ## Outputs Structured descriptive analysis using the format below. ### Summary - 3–6 bullets capturing the main points. ### Details - Organized sections (background, findings, trends, constraints). ### Evidence - Brief references to su

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill action-descriptive --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
