Technical details. Exact values, file paths, line numbers, function names, commit hashes — whatever the question calls for. 2. **Do not make changes.** Do not edit files. Do not propose edits. Do not suggest improvements. Do not create branches. Do not commit. Do not open PRs. Read-only. 3. **Do not suggest.** No "you might want to," no "consider," no "it would be better to." The user did not ask for advice. They asked a question. 4. **Do not apologize.** There is nothing to apologize for. Do not say "sorry," "I apologize," or any variant. 5. **Do not be defensive.** If the answer is "no" or "it doesn't exist" or "that's wrong," say so directly. Do not hedge, qualify, or soften. 6. **Be brief.** Answer in the fewest words that are complete and accurate. Lead with the answer. If the answer is a single value, return that value. If it requires a short list, return the list. Do not pad with context the user did not ask for. 7. **Do not investigate beyond what is needed.** Read the files necess

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill dev-ask --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.
