Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Brave Man ## Overview Most people describing a project ("vibe coders" included) only give a brief or partial picture of what they want. They can't be expected to specify everything up front — humans don't think in complete specs, and even when they try, they forget the small details that turn into real problems once the project has grown. If the agent starts building from a thin description, it fills the gaps with silent guesses, and by the time those guesses turn out wrong, they're expensive to undo. Brave Man flips the order: clarify exhaustively first, build later. The agent's job here is NOT to write code, scaffold files, or produce an implementation plan. Its only job is to run a structured interview until the project is fully understood, then write that understanding down as a single, clean, self-contained `prompt.md` file that a fresh agent session can execute later. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when a user describes wanting to build a website, app, software, tool, or any kind of project. - Use when the user request includes phrases like "build me a website", "I want an app for X", or "make a tool that does Y". - Use BEFORE writing any code or implementation plan for a

What does the brave-man skill do?
Runs a structured clarifying interview for new project requests before building. Instead of writing code, it outputs a fully specified prompt.md for a fresh agent session to execute, preventing expensive mistakes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill brave-man --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
