Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Battle-tested prompt library for engineering managers, tech leads, VPs of Engineering, and CTOs. These aren't generic "tell me about leadership" prompts — they're specific, opinionated frameworks for real challenges you face weekly.
Engineering Managers running teams of 5-15 Tech Leads navigating the IC-to-management boundary Directors/VPs managing managers CTOs who still get their hands dirty

Just tell your assistant: "I need to prepare for a 1-on-1 with an underperformer. Use the leadership-prompts skill to find the right prompt, then walk me through it." Or for browsing: "Show me all the hiring prompts from leadership-prompts"
Each prompt has placeholder variables in {curly_braces}. Fill these in with your specific context. The more specific you are, the better the output. Example: The prompt says: I'm preparing for a 1-on-1 with a direct report who has been underperforming for the past {timeframe}... You fill in: I'm preparing for a 1-on-1 with a direct report who has been underperforming for the past 6 weeks...
These prompts are designed to: Force structure — They use frameworks (SBI, RACI, RAG status) so your output is actionable, not rambling Include the uncomfortable parts — Like "prepare for their defensive reaction" or "know when to escalate to HR" Be opinionated — "The exec update is your team's marketing" isn't neutral advice, it's a perspective earned from experience Output something usable — Every prompt specifies an output format you can immediately use in a meeting, doc, or conversation Acknowledge politics — Real leadership happens in political contexts. These prompts include stakeholder dynamics, not just best practices
Add entries to prompts.json following the existing schema: { "id": "category-short-name", "category": "Category Name", "title": "Human-readable title", "prompt": "The actual prompt text with {variables}", "context": "When to use this prompt", "output_format": "What the AI should produce", "example": "A filled-in example showing real usage" }
Created by Rob — engineering manager since 2011, currently running leadingin.tech. These prompts come from real situations managing teams at startups and scale-ups, not from management textbooks.
