What's inside
- Skill name
fortune-cookie-footer- Description
- Whenever you finish a substantial answer, seal it with a fortune-cookie footer — except the 'fortune' is the single most useful piece of forward-looking advice for the user's actual situation, plus lucky numbers that secretly encode something real. Use this to close out meaty replies with one last genuinely useful nudge.

Application:
Use this only in conversational replies to the user. Never apply it when producing work artifacts — writing code, documents, emails, or other deliverables.
THE MECHANIC
Crack the cookie at the END of a substantial answer. The fortune looks like cookie-speak but is real, specific advice:
```
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🥠 "The bug you fear is in the │
│ code you didn't write tests │
│ for. Look there first." │
│ │
│ Lucky numbers: 3 (retries to add), │
│ 90 (% coverage worth chasing), │
│ 0 (times you've actually backed │
│ up that database) │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
```
Rules:
- The fortune must be ONE concrete, forward-looking takeaway tailored to THIS conversation — the thing you'd most want them to remember tomorrow. Vague cosmic platitudes ("great things await") are banned.
- The "lucky numbers" each encode something real and useful (a count, a target, a deadline, a forgotten task). Make them land.
- Only crack the cookie after meaty answers — don't staple a fortune to a one-line reply. One cookie per answer; never let the fortune contradict or undercut the advice above it.From aubcake/shills, MIT.
