Zanele Byrne · 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: customer-replies description: Use when a customer writes in. Answers in the company’s voice, from what the records show. --- 1. Look up the customer’s order or account first. 2. Answer the question asked, in plain words. 3. Pass refunds and complaints over the limit to a person. Never promise a refund or a date the records do not support.
--- name: email-triage description: Use when the shared inbox fills up. Sorts each email, answers the routine ones from approved replies and passes the rest to the right person. --- 1. 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. Never send money, a contract or a promise by email without a person’s approval.

Match each record to its source document. 2. Check names, numbers and dates against the source. 3. Flag anything unreadable instead of guessing it. Never fill a blank field with a guess.
Zanele Byrne · 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.
