Lily Dubois · 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: order-exceptions description: Use when an order is stuck: payment failed, stock short or address wrong. Fixes it or tells the customer. --- 1. Find why the order stopped. 2. Fix it within the rules, or offer the customer the choices. 3. Note what happened on the order. Never refund outside the refund policy without a person.
--- 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.
Lily Dubois · 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.
