What it is

A meta-prompting system that helps you build and organize complex prompts for Claude Code to create specific outputs.

Real use case example

"A solo developer wants to automate generating product descriptions for their e-commerce website. They use this skill to create a meta-prompt for Claude Code, specifying the product description format, tone, and keywords. After setting it up, they can simply input their product data and get a high-quality product description in minutes."

Ready-to-paste prompt

Create a workflow that automates the process of creating a new GitHub repository using the prompt `gsd specs/new-repo.js --name=my-new-repo --description=My+new+repository`

Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js installed and configured on your system, as get-shit-done is built on top of JavaScript and requires a compatible runtime environment to function correctly
