Make Claude work like a top professional

My favourite skill in Claude. It makes Claude that little bit sharper and better. Free, and installed in two minutes.

Illustration: a short question in a chat window grows into a richer, rewritten question, with icons for expertise, raw data, methods and verification.

The skill is called "be-ambitious". You give it a question, and before Claude gets going, it first asks itself four questions. Then it rewrites your question, with a clear check at the end.

We ran it internally on the question: "Why isn't our Claude workshop on 19 November full yet?" Without the skill I would probably only have got tips about the website. Instead, Claude first went through all the sources. Is there a leak somewhere? Where did previous participants come from, through which website or ad?

After thinking for quite a while, Claude came back with a few striking points. Last time a well-performing Google Ads campaign was running, and it wasn't switched on yet. And last time we had posted about it on LinkedIn twice as often. So now we know.

The four questions Claude asks itself

  • What would a top professional do here that you didn't ask for?
  • What raw data would they start from, instead of a summary?
  • Which methods and tools would they use?
  • How do you check, outside of you and Claude, that the answer is right?

Then Claude rewrites your question and stops, so you can review it first. Cost: nothing.

The skill was made by Dan McAteer (Attention Heads), based on a prompt by Felix Rieseberg of Anthropic, and is open source under the MIT licence. We send it to you with a short explanation.

What is a skill in Claude?

A skill is a file with instructions that Claude uses for a particular kind of task. You set it up once. After that you call it with /be-ambitious, followed by your question.

How do I add the skill to Claude?

Just paste it. Copy the skill from the email, paste it into Claude and add: "Install this skill for me." After that you call it with /be-ambitious.

Does it work in other languages?

Yes. The skill itself is written in English, but Claude answers in the language of your question.

Does Claude start the task straight away?

No. It stops after the rewritten question, so you can check it first. Say yes, and it runs it.

Is the skill really free?

Yes. Leave your email and we will send it to you right away.
