SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that agents only operate after mandatory prerequisites (.ushabti/laws.md and .ushabti/style.md) are present, preventing misconfigurations and unsafe actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precondition validation: Confirms required files exist before agent startup.
  • Guardrails: Halts execution when prerequisites are missing with actionable guidance.
  • Use Case: A developer starts a new agent and is automatically prompted to supply or create the laws and style guidelines before proceeding.

Quick Start

Load laws and style files before starting the agent.

Frequently Asked Questions about describe-required-inputs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate required inputs before starting an agent workflow?▼

To validate required inputs before an agent workflow, you enforce the presence of mandatory prerequisite files like .ushabti/laws.md and .ushabti/style.md to prevent misconfigurations and unsafe actions.

What happens if my agent prerequisites are missing when execution starts?▼

If agent prerequisites are missing, guardrails halt execution immediately and provide actionable guidance to load or create the missing laws and style files needed to proceed safely.

How do I set up guardrails to check for .ushabti laws and style files?▼

To set up guardrails for .ushabti laws and style files, apply a validation check at the start of any agent workflow to confirm the required files exist and halt with clear guidance if prerequisites are not found.

Do I need laws and style guidelines to run an agent workflow?▼

Yes, you need laws and style guidelines to run an agent workflow safely. Mandatory prerequisites like .ushabti/laws.md and .ushabti/style.md must be present before activation to ensure the agent operates within defined guardrails.

Why does my agent workflow halt before activation?▼

Your agent workflow halts before activation because precondition validation failed. The system enforces required inputs like .ushabti/laws.md and .ushabti/style.md, stopping execution to prevent unsafe actions when prerequisite files are missing.
