Joon Ferreira · 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: 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: 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: data-cleaning description: Use before any analysis. Checks and tidies the data, and keeps a record of every change. --- 1. Keep the raw data untouched. 2. Record every change and why. 3. Report what was removed and how much. Never drop a record without saying why.
Joon Ferreira · 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.
