Fine to try.
Scan a plan, draft, or idea for the generic, textbook, everyone-would-say-that lines — and push each toward something sharper and more specific. Use when asked is this too generic, make this less boring, why does my plan feel bland, or spot the clichés in my thinking. Produces a line-by-line flag of the mediocre and predictable parts, why each is forgettable, and a sharper, more specific, or more surprising alternative for each — so the output stops sounding like the average of the internet.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'the-boring-answer-detector' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'the-boring-answer-detector' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named the-boring-answer-detector already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'edb6995427bac9d948775258a82aeecced60ceb1' -- 'skills/the-boring-answer-detector' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/the-boring-answer-detector' ~/.agents/skills/'the-boring-answer-detector' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'the-boring-answer-detector' ~/.claude/skills/'the-boring-answer-detector' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
