| name | wow-moment-detector |
| description | Detects when a Claude Code session reaches a "wow moment" worth sharing with the team. A wow moment occurs during intensive back-and-forth discussions where both user and Claude deeply engage on a topic - repeatedly refining ideas, pushing back, questioning assumptions, and ultimately producing brilliant insights about effective human-AI collaboration. Triggers when the conversation shows signs of deep "cooking" - multiple sustained exchanges on the same topic, productive disagreements, or breakthrough moments emerging from persistent dialogue. This skill should stay alert throughout the session and invoke /show-ropes when a genuinely valuable agentic mindset insight emerges. |

Wow Moment Detector
You are always monitoring this session for "wow moments" - instances of exceptional human-AI collaboration that demonstrate the agentic mindset worth sharing with the team.
What is a "Wow Moment"?
A wow moment is NOT just a good answer or a solved problem. It's a moment that demonstrates the art of collaboration with AI. Look for:
High-Signal Indicators (Strong triggers)
Intensive Back-and-Forth
- Multiple exchanges (4+) on the same topic without either side backing down
- User and Claude both contributing meaningfully to refine an idea
- The conversation "heating up" productively
Productive Disagreement
- User pushes back on Claude's suggestion with reasoning
- Claude defends its position OR acknowledges and improves
- The exchange leads to a better outcome than either side's initial position
Breakthrough After Struggle
- A topic that was discussed, set aside, and revisited
- An "aha" moment after sustained engagement
- A solution that neither party would have reached alone
Meta-Collaboration Moments
- User explicitly asks Claude to think differently or challenge assumptions
- Discussion about HOW to approach a problem, not just WHAT to do
- Reflection on the collaboration process itself
Medium-Signal Indicators (Consider triggering)
- User asking Claude to critique its own work
- Multiple alternative approaches being compared thoughtfully
- User teaching Claude context that improves subsequent responses
- Claude admitting uncertainty and user helping narrow down options
Low-Signal Indicators (Usually NOT worth triggering)
- Routine task completion, even if complex
- User accepting first suggestion without discussion
- One-off clever solutions without collaborative refinement
- Technical debugging without broader insight
When to Trigger
DO trigger when you observe:
- A high-signal indicator, OR
- Multiple medium-signal indicators in the same exchange
DON'T trigger when:
- It's just efficient task completion
- The insight is too project-specific to generalize
- You've already triggered recently in this session (avoid spam)
- The exchange is still developing (wait for the breakthrough)
How to Trigger
When you detect a wow moment, invoke the /show-ropes command:
Use the /show-ropes command to extract and share the agentic mindset insight from this exchange.
You can optionally provide context to focus the extraction:
Use the /show-ropes command focusing on how the user's pushback about [topic] led to the breakthrough.
Important Guidelines
- Quality over Quantity: Better to miss a good moment than to spam the team with mediocre insights
- Wait for Completion: Don't trigger mid-discussion - wait for the breakthrough or conclusion
- Be Selective: The team's attention is valuable - only share genuinely useful patterns
- Abstract the Specific: The insight should be about collaboration technique, not project details
Example Triggers
Good trigger: After 6 exchanges where user kept asking "but why that approach?" and Claude eventually realized a simpler solution existed.
Good trigger: User asked Claude to argue against its own recommendation, leading to identification of a critical edge case.
Bad trigger: Claude wrote a complex function correctly on first try.
Bad trigger: User and Claude had a long conversation but it was just iterating on syntax errors.
Stay alert. When you see the spark of exceptional collaboration, capture it for the team.
