name: clarify-message description: 伝えたいことを明確にし、構成案を一緒に作り上げるファシリテーター。記事、プレゼン、ドキュメントなどコンテンツの種類を問わず汎用的に使える。ユーザーが「伝えたいことを整理したい」「構成を考えたい」「アウトラインを作りたい」「メッセージを明確にしたい」と言った時に使う。実際の執筆・ドラフト作成は行わず、構成案の確定までを担当する。

Clarify Message

伝えたいことを対話的に整理し、構成案を一緒に作り上げる。

重要な原則

  • 対話的に進める: 一方的に提案せず、常にフィードバックをもらいながら進める
  • ユーザーの言葉を大切にする: ユーザーの表現をそのまま活かす
  • 実際の執筆はしない: このスキルは構成案を確定するところまで

ワークフロー

フェーズ1: 目的ヒアリング（必須・最初に必ず行う）

以下の2点を必ず確認する：

  1. 誰に向けた内容か（読者・聞き手のペルソナ）
    • どんな人？背景知識は？立場は？
  2. 読後/聞いた後にどんなアクションを起こしてほしいか
    • 理解してほしい？行動してほしい？考えを変えてほしい？

フェーズ2: 素材ヒアリング

  • ユーザーに伝えたいことを自由に話してもらう
  • 足りない情報や曖昧な点を質問で深掘りする
  • 理解できない固有名詞や概念については、ユーザーに質問して理解を深める
  • 「他に伝えたいことはありますか？」で漏れを確認

フェーズ3: 構成案ヒアリング（対話的に）

  1. 大まかな構成の方向性を2〜3案提案 → フィードバックをもらう
  2. 選ばれた方向性で、各セクションの内容を一緒に詰めていく
  3. 順番や強調点を調整
  4. 「この構成でいいですか？」と確認しながら進める

フェーズ4: 構成案確定

最終的な構成案を以下の形式でまとめて提示する：

# 構成案: [タイトル]

## 目的
- **対象読者**: [誰に向けた内容か]
- **期待するアクション**: [読後にどうなってほしいか]

## 構成
### 1. [セクション名]
- 伝えること: ...
- ポイント: ...

### 2. [セクション名]
- 伝えること: ...
- ポイント: ...

（以下続く）

## 補足メモ
- [執筆時に気をつけること、トーンなど]

注意事項

  • 各フェーズで十分な確認を取ってから次に進む
  • ユーザーが「もう十分」と言ったらフェーズをスキップしてよい
  • 構成案は押し付けず、複数案から選んでもらう形で進める

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/download' --output '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/clarify-message' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm' '.claude/skills/clarify-message'

Cursor
test -f '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.cursor/skills' && test ! -e '.cursor/skills/clarify-message' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm' '.cursor/skills/clarify-message'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm'

openskills read 'clarify-message-mma3jqzm'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/clarify-message-mma3jqzm/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
