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/spreadsheet-analysis/SKILL.md

---

1. Copy the data first, and never change the original.

Never state a fact you could not source.

Farah Thompson · 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.
