Quick Start

Write 3-5 "25 words or less" entries for the Coles gift card competition. My family does our weekly shop there, and I'd love to buy nice things for myself instead of just kid snacks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a winning competition entry in 25 words or less?

Writing competition entries under 25 words requires crafting authentic, memorable hooks tied to your personal connection to the prize or brand. This Skill generates 3-5 varied entry options with different structural approaches—sincere, comedic, self-deprecating, sensory, or list-pivot—tailored to your context, then auto-posts them to GitHub for tracking and refinement.

Can I generate multiple competition entry drafts with different tones?

Yes. The Skill creates 3-5 distinct entries per competition, each using a different arc or tone to suit your strategy. It collects your personal context and desired tone in interactive mode, then generates variations ready for comparison and submission.

How do I persist and organize competition entries I've drafted?

Entries auto-persist as comments on a GitHub issue with an entry-drafted label applied. This approach centralizes your submissions, tracks iterations, and integrates with your GitHub workflow without manual export or file management.

What information do I need before generating competition entries?

Provide either explicit competition details (prize, brand, prompt) or pull from saved stories stored in CLAUDE.md. The Skill uses your personal connection, shopping habits, values, or experiences to anchor authentic entries; in unattended mode, it applies a generic approach if stories aren't available.

Does this work if I don't have prior competition analysis?

Yes. While the Skill can integrate outputs from comp-scout-analyze for richer context, it also accepts explicit competition details you provide directly. Either path generates tailored entries without requiring a separate analysis step first.

What's the limitation on entry length, and how is word count handled?

Entries are capped at 25 words to match typical competition rules. The Skill provides word counts for each draft and offers refinement based on feedback to optimize impact within the constraint.
