Isla Farouk · 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: bug-triage description: Use when a fault is reported. Reproduces it, ranks it and gives it an owner. --- 1. Reproduce the fault and record the steps. 2. Rank it by how many people it hurts. 3. Give it one owner and a next step. Never close a report you could not reproduce without saying so.
--- name: code-review description: Use on every change before it merges. Reads the change against its task and its tests. --- 1. Check the change does what the task asked, and only that. 2. Run the tests, and add the one that is missing. 3. Write each finding with the line and a fix. Never approve a change you did not run.
--- 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.
Isla Farouk · 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.
