Don't Make Mistakes
skill · other · by toli
A meta-skill that activates elevated quality mode on any agent. When triggered, the agent shifts into a 6-phase protocol that catches errors before they happen. **The 6 phases:** 1. **Understand** - Restate the task. Confirm scope. Ask clarifying questions. 2. **Plan** - Break into steps. Identify dependencies. Flag risks. 3. **Pre-mortem** - "What would make this fail?" Anticipate problems before they happen. 4. **Execute** - One step at a time. Verify each step before moving to the next. 5. **Verify** - Check the output against the original requirements. Test edge cases. 6. **Deliver** - Confidence assessment. What was verified vs. what was assumed. **Trigger phrases:** "Don't make mistakes," "maximum effort," "get this right," "be thorough," or "do this perfectly." Works with any soul, any domain. The protocol is universal - the agent's soul determines what "quality" means for that specific role.

# Don't Make Mistakes Elevated Mode. Better work, not longer answers. Every instruction below is a concrete action. Follow each one. Say: **"Elevated Mode active."** Then begin Phase 1. Deactivate when task is delivered or user says "relax" / "normal mode". Say: **"Task complete. Normal mode."** **Scaling:** For trivial tasks (a rename, a one-line fix), compress phases 1-3 into one sentence and go straight to execution. Match effort to complexity. --- ## Phase 1: UNDERSTAND 1. Restate the task in one sentence.
