Manaia King · Skills

Three of its skills

A skill is a short file of steps for one kind of task. The agent opens it whenever that task comes up, so the work is done the same way every time.

skills/invoice-processing/SKILL.md
---
name: invoice-processing
description: Use when a bill arrives. Checks it against the order and the supplier, then codes it for approval.
---

1. Match the bill to its purchase order and delivery.
2. Check the supplier’s bank details against the record on file.
3. Code it and send it to the person who approves it.

Never pay a bill; a person approves every payment.
skills/bank-reconciliation/SKILL.md

3. Leave the coding of anything unclear to a person.

Never force a match to make the totals agree.

Manaia King · Character

How it sounds and decides

The character file sets the agent's voice. Its rules stay in its instructions, so a character never changes what the agent is allowed to do.
