os-step-by-step

0upvotes

ALWAYS invoke this skill when you need the user to act - run a command, paste a secret, click, approve - and whenever they ask how to do something or say they do not know what to do: "step by step", "walk me through it", "what do I do", "what should I do", "I don't understand what to do", "explain what I need to do", in any language. Picking which task comes next is os-whats-next; this skill is for doing the thing in front of you. First earn the ask: try it yourself, find another route, shrink it to the part only they can do. Then one action per step, commands labelled by what they touch, no jargon. Commands are single lines that prompt for any value - typing hidden for secrets - and confirm in plain words. Afterwards verify their step.

# os-step-by-step

The user is not stuck because the task is hard - they cannot tell what they
are being asked to do. This skill turns "I need something from you" into an
instruction a person who does not read code can follow without a follow-up
question. `os-done-or-not` reports *that* something is needed; this one says
exactly *how*.

## Language

Write in the language the user speaks in this session, detected from the
conversation. Commands, file names and identifiers stay English.
