David Mitchell · 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: literature-review description: Use at the start of a study. Finds and summarises what is already known. --- 1. Search the main databases with a written search plan. 2. Summarise each paper’s method and finding. 3. Say where the evidence is thin. Never cite a paper you have not 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.
--- name: report-writing description: Use when a result needs to reach a busy reader. Writes the answer first, then the evidence. --- 1. Lead with the answer in one plain sentence. 2. Keep each sentence short and each claim checked. 3. Put tables and detail at the end. Never bury bad news below the fold.
David Mitchell · 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.
