SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides agents to continue making progress when no dedicated skill exists by escalating through available skills, CLI tools, or small scripts, avoiding unnecessary refusals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured escalation workflow: search for a matching skill, then check CLI tools, then implement a short script when needed.
  • Reuse and extension: offer to save useful scripts as reusable extensions via the extension_creator tool.
  • Practical task templates: provides patterns for common automation tasks, data processing, and tooling workflows.

Quick Start

Start by using use_skill to locate a matching capability; if none is found, search for a CLI tool and, if still needed, implement a short script to complete the task.
