# THE CRAFT SKILL PACK
### From How to Talk to AI, Session 01: Learning to master the prompt
### Drake Wolfe & Dale Heim · Agentix · Version 1.0

You came to the session. This is the part you take home: the CRAFT skill
installed in whatever AI you use, the Tech Talk Dictionary, and a prompt pack
that applies the structure for you.

Every document comes two ways: a `.pdf` to read or print, and a `.md`
(Markdown) plain-text version you can open in any editor or paste straight
into your AI. Same content, pick whichever is easier. The `PASTE-` files are
plain text on purpose: they're for copying into settings fields.

---

## The skill is the install

At the root of this pack is `craft/`: one folder, built to the open Agent
Skills standard, that installs unchanged on Claude, ChatGPT (plans with
Skills), Gemini (Spark), and most AI coding tools. `craft.zip` is the same
folder zipped for upload; `craft.skill` is the same folder packaged for
Claude's one-click Save button. Everything else in the pack exists to get
that folder installed where it can be, and to carry its instructions to the
surfaces that can't load skills yet.

## The fastest way in: let the AI install it

Every platform folder now has an **INSTALL-ME** file written for the AI, not
for you. Attach it (plus `craft.zip` where the folder includes one) to a new
chat and type one line:

> **Read the attached file and install CRAFT for me.**

The AI reads it, does everything it can do itself (build or save the skill
where the platform supports skills, save the core rules to memory), hands you
the one or two things only a human can paste with the exact menu location,
and then runs the handshake to prove it worked.

| You use | Attach | Where the AI can take it |
|---|---|---|
| **Claude** | `01-Claude/INSTALL-ME-Claude.md` + `craft.skill` | Presents the skill with a one-click **Save skill** button; saves the core to memory; hands you the preferences line |
| **ChatGPT** | `02-ChatGPT/INSTALL-ME-ChatGPT.md` + `craft/SKILL.md` | Builds the skill on plans that have Skills (Business, Enterprise, Edu, some Work plans); saves memory; hands you the two Custom Instructions fields |
| **Gemini** | `03-Gemini/INSTALL-ME-Gemini.md` + `craft/SKILL.md` (in a Spark task) | Creates the skill on Google AI Pro/Ultra personal accounts (Gemini Spark); saves the seven Saved info entries; offers the Gem |
| **Grok** | `04-Grok/INSTALL-ME-Grok.md` | Saves memory; hands you the Custom Instructions block |
| **Any other AI** | `05-Any-AI/INSTALL-ME-AnyAI.md` + `craft.zip` | Uses whatever it has: skills, memory, a settings field, or top-of-chat |

The skill folder itself (`craft/`) follows the open Agent Skills standard, so
the same file installs on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and most AI coding tools.
The human-readable guides in each folder remain the step-by-step fallback.

---

## Prefer to do it by hand? Pick your AI, open that file, follow the steps.

| You use | Open this | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| **Claude** | `01-Claude/INSTALL-Claude.md` | A real installable skill (`craft.zip`) that Claude loads automatically, plus Projects and preferences |
| **ChatGPT** | `02-ChatGPT/CRAFT-for-ChatGPT.md` | Skill upload on workspace plans; Custom Instructions sized to the 1,500-character limit and a full-strength Project on every plan; Memory |
| **Gemini** | `03-Gemini/CRAFT-for-Gemini.md` | A CRAFT Gem with knowledge files, plus six Saved info entries |
| **Grok** | `04-Grok/CRAFT-for-Grok.md` | Custom Instructions, a Custom Agent, Memory |
| **Anything else** (Copilot, Perplexity, Meta AI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, coding tools) | `05-Any-AI/CRAFT-Universal.md` | The universal block, a short block for tight limits, and where the setting lives in each tool |

Each folder also has **PASTE- text files**: one block per field, so on a phone
you open the file, Select All, Copy, and paste. No hunting inside a long
document.

Use more than one AI? Install it in each. Skills and instructions don't
travel between apps.

---

## After installing: two things that pay off immediately

**1. Build your Context Card.** Type `craft: brief`. Your AI interviews you
(business, customers, offer, voice, goals, constraints, tools) and returns
a card you save once. From then on, every chat starts with your context
filled in. Each platform file says exactly where to save it.

**2. Learn the commands.** Once installed, these work in any chat:

| Type this | What you get |
|---|---|
| `craft: [your goal]` | Interview (up to 3 questions), then the ideal prompt in a code block |
| `craft: audit` + a prompt | Scorecard out of 25, fixes, upgraded prompt |
| `craft: brief` | Interview (up to 8 questions), then your Context Card |
| `craft: talk` + an edit note | Plain English translated into part + action + result |
| `craft: tune` + feedback | KEEP / CHANGE / LEAVE applied; only what you named changes |
| `craft: teach` | The moves it just used, explained |
| `craft: pack` + a task | The closest Prompt Pack template, filled from your context |
| `craft: help` | The command list |
| `craft: quiet` / `craft: loud` | Greeting and tune lines off / on |
| `craft: off` / `craft: on` | Pause / resume CRAFT for the chat |
| `what's the CRAFT rule?` | The handshake line |

---

## The rest of the pack

| File | What it is | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| `06-Tech-Talk-Dictionary.md` | The vocabulary: 30 sections, 900+ terms, each with a copy-and-paste "Say:" line. Websites, layout, type, color, images, documents, email, slides, spreadsheets, charts, AI image and video prompting, brand, code for non-coders, hosting, automation and agents, AI terms, money and business numbers, projects, contracts, social content. Opens with the 20 words that fix 80% of prompts; ends with an A-to-Z index. | Any time you're about to describe a change and can't find the word. Use Find on the plain word you'd say. |
| `07-CRAFT-Quick-Reference.md` | The whole session on one page: CRAFT, the 10 prompt types, reverse prompting, the six tricks, Tech Talk formula, the tune note, the commands, the Context Card. | Print it. Keep it by the keyboard. |
| `ARCHITECTURE.md` | Why it's built this way: the open standard, progressive disclosure, trigger design, persistence layers and precedence per platform, character budgets, the command grammar, the handshake protocol, idempotence, security posture, how to extend it. | If you're technical, or you want to fork it. |
| `08-CRAFT-Prompt-Pack.md` | The Context Card, the commands, and 40 fill-in-the-blank prompts with CRAFT built in: the marketing rebuild, the price-increase email, website page and audit, SOP, automation spec, decision memo, proposal, review reply, pricing analysis, video script, contract summary, and more. | When you want a great result now without building the prompt yourself. |

## The 60-second test (do this after installing)

A working install opens its first reply in a new chat, and every reply to a
`craft:` command, with one line: *Thank you for using the CRAFT skill by
Agentix.* It doesn't repeat on follow-ups; `craft: quiet` turns it off.

In a new chat, type: **what's the CRAFT rule?**

A working install answers with exactly:
*Brief it like a brilliant new hire: Context, Role, Ask, Format, then Tune.
Structure beats length. (CRAFT Skill v1.0 by Agentix)*

Then try: **/craft I want to [any goal]** and watch it interview you and
hand back the ideal prompt.

## What CRAFT is, in thirty seconds

AI is a prediction engine. Put no context in, get the average of the
internet out. So brief it like a brilliant new hire on day one:

- **C**ontext — everything it can't see: who you are, who it's for, what's
  happening, why it matters.
- **R**ole — the lens: one real job, not a stack of titles.
- **A**sk — the task, led by a verb. One ask per prompt.
- **F**ormat — what done looks like: length, structure, tone, versions.
- **T**une — the follow-up. Keep what works, change what you name, leave the
  rest.

Structure beats length. The best prompt is the shortest one that reliably
works.

## Frequently asked

**Do I have to install it? Can't I just paste it each time?**
You can. Every platform file includes the paste-in block. Installing just
means you never have to paste again.

**Will this change how the AI talks to me?**
Quietly. You'll notice it states assumptions in one line, leads with the
deliverable, changes only what you ask for when you give feedback, and ends
with a line telling you what levers you can pull. It won't lecture you about
CRAFT.

**Is it safe?**
It's plain text instructions. No code runs, no data is sent anywhere, nothing
connects to the internet. You can read every word of every file. If you don't
want a line, delete it.

**Can I edit it?**
Yes. Add your business context, your brand voice, your standing rules. The
files are yours.

**Can I share it with my team?**
Yes. Send the folder, or the link you downloaded it from. On Claude Team and
Enterprise, the skill can be shared to your whole organization; on ChatGPT,
share the Custom GPT link; on Gemini Workspace, share the Gem.

**It stopped working.**
Long chats push instructions out of the AI's attention. Start a new chat. If
the handshake still fails, re-check the install steps in your platform file.

**Something in the install steps doesn't match my screen.**
AI apps move their menus often. The instruction lives under Settings,
Personalization, Customize, or Preferences in every one of them. Look there.
