# Reference Letter Skill A reference is believed when it's specific: concrete examples beat adjectives, and the reader can tell you actually know the person. This skill writes a letter that establishes your credibility to comment, gives real evidence of the person's strengths, and makes a clear, tailored recommendation for the decision at hand. ## Working from a brief Given "write a reference for my report applying for a senior role", **write the full letter anyway** — infer plausible, concrete examples from the relationship described, clearly marking invented specifics as *(example — replace with a real instance)* so the writer swaps in true details. Never hand back a hollow template of adjectives. ## Required Inputs Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label for replacement): - **Who & what for** — the person, and what they're applying for (job/role, school/program, tenancy). - **Your relationship** — how you know them, in what capacity, and for how long. - **Their strengths** — the qualities/skills to highlight, ideally with real examples. - **The reader's priorities** — what the recipient is deciding and what matters to them. - **Tone & format** —

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.
