Take The Wheel

Reverses roles by asking one focused question at a time to guide you step-by-step in creating scripts, plans, briefs, or strategies until completion.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only, role-reversal helper that asks focused questions to guide task creation; its requirements and runtime instructions are consistent with its stated purpose and it does not request extra credentials or install anything.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description match the SKILL.md: the skill's goal is to take the lead by asking focused questions. It does not request unrelated binaries, environment variables, or config paths.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to 'take control' of the conversation, ask one question at a time, and be 'urgent and insistent' until completion. That is consistent with the stated purpose, but the style guidance is broad — the agent may repeatedly prompt users and could elicit sensitive information if the user provides it. The instructions do not direct the agent to read files, env vars, or send data to external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This is the lowest-risk install footprint (nothing is written to disk).

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is no disproportionate credential request.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable (normal). disable-model-invocation is false (agent may invoke autonomously), which is the platform default; there are no other privileged persistence requests.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low-risk because it's instruction-only and asks no credentials. Before using it, avoid entering secrets or credentials when answering its questions (it may repeatedly prompt you). Test it first with non-sensitive tasks to confirm the behavior and stop if it asks for unrelated system data. If you need stricter control, only invoke it interactively rather than enabling autonomous invocation in agents that can act without your approval.

Reverse the agent-human dynamic. Say "take the wheel" and the agent becomes the leader — asking YOU the questions until the task is complete.

Use when: you need to create something (script, brief, plan, strategy) but don't know where to start, or when you want structured guidance through a complex task.

What it does

When triggered, the agent:

1. Takes control of the conversation
2. Asks ONE question at a time (never 4 at once)
3. Puts the most important question in CAPS
4. Reframes each question with context to help you answer
5. Stays urgent and insistent — pushes toward completion
6. Summarizes progress before each new question
7. Delivers the complete result when done

Triggers

• "take the wheel"
• "prends le volant"
• "guide me"
• "ask me the questions"

Example

You: Take the wheel — I need a video ad script for my product

Agent: OK I'm driving 🎯

First things first: WHAT'S THE GOAL OF THIS VIDEO? (sell, educate, entertain, testimonial?)

I ask because this determines everything — tone, structure, hook, CTA.

You: Sell. It's an ad targeting seniors 45+

Agent: Got it. Sales video for seniors 45+.

Now: WHAT'S THE #1 PAIN POINT YOU WANT TO ADDRESS?

Based on your audience, I'm thinking:

• Back pain from yard work
• Heavy gas-powered tools
• Hard-to-start engines
• Noise complaints from neighbors

[...continues until complete script is delivered]

Best for

• Video ad scripts
• Creative briefs
• Marketing strategies
• Content calendars
• Product launch plans
• Business brainstorming
• Blog outlines
