Explain Not Package
Symptom
The request is asking for explanation or interpretation, but the skill creator tries to package it as a reusable workflow.
Anti-Pattern
Confusing topic adjacency with packaging intent.
Example Prompt
Review this note and tell me what it means in plain English.
Why It Fails
- the source material may look like a workflow
- the user still wants explanation, not systematization
Fix
- treat explanation, summary-only, and translation-only modes as direct exclusions
- require positive evidence of reusable packaging intent before triggering
Regression Prompts
Explain what a workflow is.Review this process note and explain it, no packaging needed.
