What problem does it solve?
Tools are the contracts that govern how agents interact with the world. Without clear tool descriptions, agents guess, leading to failures and brittle behavior. This Skill guides you in designing, documenting, and standardizing tool interfaces that agents can reliably invoke.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Tool Description as Prompt: Write precise, actionable tool descriptions that answer: what the tool does, when to use it, and what it returns.
- Consolidation Principle: Favor a single comprehensive tool over many narrow ones to reduce cognitive load.
- Error Handling & Recovery: Design helpful error messages that guide agents to recover gracefully.
Quick Start
Define a new tool named 'fetch_user' with inputs id and output format, and specify its return structure and error cases.
