## What it does

The skill lays out ways to build generators around simple input and a result worth showing. Its examples cover quizzes and personality tests, name and text tools, avatars, and calculators. It also addresses result-card design: the output should read well on a phone and hold up as a screenshot.

For quizzes, it outlines questions, weighted scoring, and choosing among result categories. Name generators can use a stable input-based method, seeded randomness, word-part combinations, or LLM output. With the stable method, entering the same value leads to the same name. Long forms run counter to the skill’s advice to keep user input small.

It calls out generic results, overlong forms, and dull share cards as design problems. The material is guidance for building a tool, not a ready-made generator; the implementation depends on what you’re making.
