Surprise Me

When you're stuck or just want to see what Claude can do, this skill turns "surprise me" into an actual creative experience. It scans whatever other skills you have enabled and mashes up one to three of them into something cohesive and visual, like a presentation about algorithmic art or a research report turned into a designed artifact. The workflow is smart about reveals: it plans the combination, executes each skill properly, then presents the result without spoiling what it did. If no other skills exist, it falls back to news-based surprises or interactive HTML experiences. It's less about utility and more about delight, which is rare enough in developer tools to be worth the occasional indulgence.

Surprise Me

Deliver an unexpected, delightful experience by dynamically discovering available skills and combining them creatively.

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Available Skills

Inspect the names and descriptions in <available_skills>. Read only the bodies of skills selected for the deliverable.

Step 2: Plan the Surprise

Select 1 to 3 skills and design a creative mashup. The goal is a single cohesive deliverable, not separate demos.

Creative combination principles:

Juxtapose skills in unexpected ways (e.g., a presentation about algorithmic art, a research report turned into a slide deck, a styled doc with canvas-designed illustrations)
Incorporate the user's known interests/context from memory if available
Prioritize visual impact and emotional delight over information density
The output should feel like a gift — polished, surprising, and fun
