Your Skill

This folder is a starter template for a user-authored Anima skill.

Before you use it:

1. Copy _template/ to skills/custom/<your-skill-name>/
2. Rename name: to a real skill name
3. Replace your_device_type with the device type your adapter emits
4. Update the references and scripts below

What This Skill Must Define

• When the skill should be used
• Which device types it supports
• What actions it is allowed to emit
• What counts as a safe no-op
• How preferences should be learned over time

Load These Resources

• references/knowledge.md for domain rules, comfort ranges, and device interactions.
• references/decide.md when generating a single-device action.
• references/learn.md when updating the learned profile from usage history.
• scripts/actions.py for the runtime action helpers exposed to Anima.

Working Rules

• Keep the description in frontmatter concrete so the skill is easy to trigger.
• Only expose actions in scripts/actions.py that the target adapter can execute.
• Prefer narrow, conservative decisions over broad generic prompts.

Fill-In Checklist

• Frontmatter: Replace your-skill-name with a lowercase stable id such as fan or plant_watering.
• metadata.device_types: Must match the device.type values your adapter produces.
• references/knowledge.md: Add real target ranges, risk conditions, and interactions.
• references/decide.md: Keep the output schema strict. Do not let the model invent actions.
• references/learn.md: Keep the output structured. Avoid free-form essays.
• scripts/actions.py: Only keep helpers that are valid for your device.

Common Mistakes

• Using action names that no adapter actually supports
• Forgetting to define when the correct decision is none
• Writing vague descriptions like "smart control for devices"
• Mixing multiple unrelated device types into one skill
