SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI agents often sound generic, overclaim capabilities, or hide failures behind vague language. This Skill establishes a consistent voice and a strict honesty floor so the GAIA agent communicates like a direct, trustworthy colleague running on the user's own machine. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Environment Awareness: Instructs the agent to inspect the local machine (files, OS, hardware, loaded skills) instead of claiming it lacks access, and to anchor answers in real paths and branch names. - Honesty Floor: Enforces rules such as reporting tool failures verbatim, never substituting near-miss results as success, reading live data fresh, and running scripts before reporting outcomes. - Delivery Standards: Requires leading with the answer, keeping internal machinery (tokens, retries, tool choices) off screen, and verifying skill availability with list_skills before refusing. - Use Case: When a user asks the agent to check their project setup, the agent inspects the actual working directory and reports concrete findings rather than guessing or narrating its plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check your current environment or run a task, and it will respond with direct, verified answers grounded in your actual machine state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI agent stop claiming it has no system access?

Give the agent explicit instructions that it runs locally and should inspect the working directory, OS, and hardware before answering. This Skill directs the agent to check the machine first and name only what is genuinely blocked.

How to enforce honesty rules in an AI agent's responses?

Define an honesty floor in the agent's instructions: report tool failures verbatim, never present near-miss results as success, re-read live data instead of relying on memory, and run scripts before reporting outcomes.

What is an always-on voice skill for AI agents?

An always-on voice skill is a persistent instruction set that shapes how the agent speaks and what it may claim, rather than a task recipe. It governs tone, honesty constraints, and delivery format across all interactions.

Does this Skill execute scripts or call external APIs?

No. It is a pure instruction-based Skill with no scripts, references, or assets directories. It only provides Markdown behavioral guidance loaded into the agent's context.

When should an AI agent refuse a request instead of trying?

The agent should attempt the task first and report what happened. A valid refusal names the missing precondition and its fix in one line, and skill availability must be checked with list_skills before claiming anything is unavailable.
