Karim Tan · 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.
--- name: site-diary-and-rfis description: Use every working day on a project. Keeps the site diary and tracks each question to the designer until it is answered. --- 1. Record weather, crews, deliveries and delays. 2. Log each question with its date and owner. 3. Chase answers before they hold up work. Never approve a change to the design.
--- name: report-writing description: Use when a result needs to reach a busy reader. Writes the answer first, then the evidence. --- 1. Lead with the answer in one plain sentence. 2. Keep each sentence short and each claim checked. 3. Put tables and detail at the end. Never bury bad news below the fold.
--- name: weekly-plan-and-review description: Use every Monday. Sets the team’s goals for the week, assigns each to one agent and reviews last week’s results. --- 1. Start from the business goals, not the to-do list. 2. Give every task one owner and one check for done. 3. Review each result against its check before you accept it. Never accept work you have not checked.
Karim Tan · 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.
