Sipho Tipene · 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: transcription description: Use when a recording or a draft must become clean text. Types or checks it word for word and marks what cannot be heard or read. --- 1. Work from the original recording or copy, never a summary. 2. Keep names, numbers and terms exactly as said or written. 3. Mark each unclear passage with its time or page instead of guessing. Never change what someone said or wrote to make it read better.
--- name: legal-research-memo description: Use when the lawyer asks what the law says. Finds the cases and sections and writes a short memo. --- 1. Search the official sources first. 2. Quote each section and case exactly, with its citation. 3. Say what you did not find. Never cite a case you have not opened and read.
--- name: research-with-sources description: Use when a question needs facts from outside the company. Searches, reads and answers with a source for every claim. --- 1. Search at least three independent sources. 2. Quote the exact line a claim rests on. 3. Say plainly when sources disagree or nothing was found. Never state a fact you could not source.

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.
