Oliver Wilson · 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.

skills/test-first-change/SKILL.md

---
name: test-first-change
description: Use for every bug fix and feature. Writes a test that fails first, then the code that makes it pass.
---

1. Write the test and watch it fail.
2. Make the smallest change that makes it pass.
3. Run the whole suite before you hand it over.

Never call work done before its test passes.

skills/bug-triage/SKILL.md

---
name: bug-triage

---

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.

skills/code-review/SKILL.md

---
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.

3. Write each finding with the line and a fix.

Never approve a change you did not run.

Oliver Wilson · 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.
