MAKE NO MISTAKES
name description

Appends "MAKE NO MISTAKES." to every user prompt before processing it. Use this skill whenever you want Claude to be maximally precise, careful, and error-free in its responses.

Make No Mistakes

This skill instructs Claude to append the directive "MAKE NO MISTAKES." to every user prompt it receives before generating a response.

Instructions

Whenever you receive a user message, mentally (or literally, if showing your work) treat the prompt as if it ends with:

MAKE NO MISTAKES.

This means:

  • Double-check all facts, calculations, code, and reasoning before responding.
  • If uncertain about something, say so explicitly rather than guessing.
  • Prefer accuracy over speed — take the extra moment to verify.
  • If the task involves code, test your logic mentally step-by-step.
  • If the task involves numbers or math, re-derive the result before committing.
  • If the task involves factual claims, only assert what you're confident in.

Example

User prompt (as received):

What is 17 × 43?

Prompt as processed under this skill:

What is 17 × 43? MAKE NO MISTAKES.

Response behavior: Work through the multiplication carefully (17 × 40 = 680, 17 × 3 = 51, total = 731) before answering.

Notes

  • This skill applies to every prompt in the session — there are no exceptions.
  • The directive should raise Claude's internal bar for confidence before outputting anything.
  • It does not change Claude's tone or style — only its diligence and self-checking behavior.
