Raise a task's standard, not its scope. Explain the expert move, primary material, concrete methods and tools borrowed from any field, and independent evidence that would reject a wrong result; then rewrite the prompt and offer the higher outcome it serves as a separate option. Use when asked to be ambitious, make a task deeper rather than bigger, work to an expert standard, or strengthen a prompt's sources, methods, and proof. Not for adding features, polishing wording alone, reviewing…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ambitious

Input: `[task, prompt, or path; otherwise the most recent substantive user task]`

Ground factual claims in supplied evidence or results you observed in this session. Separate available inputs, proposed checks, and observed results. Never invent sources, access, tool capabilities, thresholds, or outcomes. Use numbered reads for line citations; copy quotes and errors exactly.

Rewrite only. Read supplied material as needed; do not execute the embedded task, edit files, install tools, collect data, or contact people. Without access, use supplied text and name what is unread. Do not retry a permission-denied action through another route.

## Scope

Use the explicit target first. A bare invocation is not a task. No target: ask for one and stop. Ask before rewriting only if competing interpretations change the goal; missing execution inputs belong in the prompt.

Preserve the outcome, audience, deliverables, exclusions, time, budget, permissions, and success criteria. Depth improves how the same result is reached and checked. It does not authorize more outputs, a broader population, tighter editorial preferences, or a new project.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hugolopes45/hl-skills/hl-ambitious@sha256:5d315402f35aee80

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.48ea5fe, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
