Mateo Smith · 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: tax-file-check description: Use when a tax return or an assessment needs work. Checks each figure against its records and lists what is missing. --- 1. Collect every record for the period. 2. Check each figure against its record, and show the check. 3. List the gaps and questions for the tax adviser or officer, with where each came from. Never file, assess or change a tax position; a qualified person decides.
--- name: outbound-calls description: Use for calls to customers, such as an overdue account or a new offer. Calls from an agreed list and script, and records every answer. --- 1. Check the person’s history and any request not to be called before you call. 2. Follow the agreed script, and record what was said and agreed. 3. Confirm any promise in writing, and pass complaints and disputes to a person. Never mislead or pressure anyone, or call someone who has asked not to be called.

Never send money, a contract or a promise by email without a person’s approval.

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.
