zoom-out

SkillAI & models

Once added, your AI steps back to take a broader view of a problem before diving into the details. That means it considers the bigger picture first, so the work it does fits the wider context. It is one of the skills for engineers in Matt Pocock's collection.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the skill, then ask your AI to zoom out on a problem before it starts working on it. It is most useful at the start of a task, before the details take over.

Then ask your AI: use the zoom-out skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Take a broader view of a problem before diving into details
  • Consider the wider context of a task before starting work
  • Weigh how a specific task fits into the larger goal
  • Pause before getting into specifics when a bigger-picture look would help

What this skill tells your AI

I don't know this area of code well. Go up a layer of abstraction. Give me a map of all the relevant modules and callers, using the project's domain glossary vocabulary.
