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.

Read the whole thread before you sort it. 2. Answer only from an approved reply, and change no promise in it. 3. Pass anything new to its owner with a one-line summary.

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.
