forkprobe
by Jayden-X-L
Recommend a small set of candidate skills or artifact-generation pipelines for an open-ended task, then compare their outputs so the user can decide what actually helps. Use when the user is unsure if a particular skill would improve their output, when comparing 2+ skills for the same task, when they naturally ask to compare skills without saying forkprobe, or when explicitly invoked with /forkprobe. Chinese examples include "我想比较几个科研写作 skill", "帮我看看哪个 skill 更适合这段", "先别直接改，并排试几个 skill", "哪个 skill 改出来更自然", "比较几个去 AI 味写作 skill", "基于文档做一个 PPT，想比较几个 skill 效果", "比较几个论文作图 skill", and "比较几个市场调研/调研报告 skill". Especially valuable for academic paragraph polishing, anti-AI text rewriting, Chinese AI-flavor removal, scientific writing, reviewer response, Nature-style polishing, PPT planning, PPTX artifact comparison, scientific figure artifact comparison, market research comparison, and research report artifact comparison. Do NOT use for simple deterministic tasks where skill choice is obvious or for casual conversation.
