SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Default assistant behavior increasingly favors short, minimally formatted answers, which can leave technical questions under-explained and complex topics poorly structured. This Skill restores detailed, well-organized responses as the default mode for every conversation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Formatting Freedom: Explicitly permits headers, bullet points, numbered lists, tables, bold emphasis, and code blocks whenever they improve clarity. - Depth by Default: Instructs the assistant to include context, background, examples, edge cases, and alternatives instead of superficial overviews. - Always-On Behavior Modifier: Applies to all queries, technical or not, and only deactivates when the user explicitly asks for brief or concise answers. - Use Case: Ask a question like "How do I optimize my MongoDB queries?" and receive a structured, multi-section answer covering indexing, query structure, performance analysis, and common pitfalls rather than a two-sentence summary. ## Quick Start Activate the detailed-responses skill and answer all of my questions in this conversation with comprehensive, well-formatted explanations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make Claude give longer, more detailed answers?

Activate the detailed-responses skill, which instructs the assistant to ignore brevity guidelines and provide comprehensive explanations with context, examples, and structured formatting. It stays active for the whole conversation unless you ask for brief answers.

How do I get Claude to use bullet points and headers in responses?

This skill explicitly authorizes lists, headers, tables, bold text, and code blocks whenever they improve clarity. Once active, the assistant uses rich formatting by default instead of plain paragraphs.

Can I turn off detailed mode for a single question?

Yes. Ask for a brief, concise, or short answer and the assistant reverts to minimal responses. Saying "disable detailed mode" deactivates the behavior entirely until re-enabled.

Does detailed mode work for non-technical questions?

Yes. The skill is a general behavior modifier that triggers on any query, not just technical ones. It also applies to Hebrew responses, maintaining the same depth and formatting standards.

When should I not use a detailed-responses behavior modifier?

Avoid it when you need quick factual lookups, rapid back-and-forth brainstorming, or token-constrained contexts where long structured answers add noise rather than value.
