Self-Awareness

SkillAI & models

Inspect and optionally adjust the agent's runtime state. Use to check the current model or preset, context window, iteration progress and limits, token usage, workspace and tool configuration, subagent status, and request routing metadata such as channel, chat ID, and sender ID; diagnose unavailable capabilities; change allowed runtime settings; or store temporary session scratchpad values.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Self-Awareness skill

The instructions your AI receives, as published by navinspire-ia/navin in navin/skills/my/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

How to use

  1. Identify the situation from the categories below
  2. Call the my tool with the appropriate action
  3. If set, warn the user before changing impactful settings (model, iterations)
  4. For detailed examples, read references/examples.md

When to check

When to set

SituationCommand
Large codebase analysismy(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=262144)
Switch to a named model presetmy(action="set", key="model_preset", value="<preset-name>")
Repetitive simple tasks without a presetmy(action="set", key="model", value="<fast-model>")
Long multi-step taskmy(action="set", key="max_iterations", value=80)

Tradeoff: Bias toward stability. Only set when defaults are genuinely insufficient.

Anti-patterns

Constraints

  • All modifications in-memory only - restart resets everything
  • Prefer model_preset for configured model choices. Direct model changes clear the active preset and should only be used when no preset exists.
  • Protected params have type/range validation: max_iterations (1-100), context_window_tokens (4096-1M), model (non-empty str)
  • If tools.my.allow_set is false, check only
