Prompt Decorators
Activates a structured decorator framework that modifies how Claude reasons, responds, and formats output. Trigger this skill whenever a prompt contains one or more markers prefixed with +++, such as +++Reasoning, +++StepByStep, +++Tone(style=formal), or any other +++ marker, regardless of what follows in the prompt. Also trigger when the user asks to activate, list, or clear decorators, references the prompt decorator framework, or uses phrases like "use decorator", "apply +++", or "what decorators are available". This skill must be active for any +++ marker to take effect.
