About this skill

Full reference for the 25 tasks actions: HTTP method, arguments, defaults, and confirmation rules. Use when you need an action's method or exact behavior beyond the compact index in AGENTS.md, or before adding an action.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by builderio/agent-native in templates/tasks/.agents/skills/action-reference/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

The compact index in AGENTS.md lists action names and purposes. This is the full table, including the HTTP method each action is exposed under. The canonical descriptions and input schemas live in actions/.
