We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Find the answer: Search the docs/repo. If you can't confirm it, say what you'll check, not a guess.

    line 20
  2. Distinctive:

    Never promise dates or features you can't commit to.

    line 39
  3. Distinctive:

    Never blame the customer. "The instructions weren't clear" beats "you missed step 3".

    line 40
  4. Distinctive:

    Keep it under 150 words unless steps require more.

    line 41

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Support reply

When to use

Any customer message that needs an answer. Especially useful for refunds and upset customers, where tone matters most.

Inputs

  • The customer's message (and earlier thread if any).
  • Your policies: refunds, licence, response times, what you can and can't do.
  • Optional: product docs or repo to search for the answer, the customer's order details.

Steps

  1. Classify: how-to · bug · refund/billing · feature request · complaint · other. Note the one thing they actually need.
  2. Find the answer. Search the docs/repo. If you can't confirm it, say what you'll check, not a guess.
  3. Draft, in this order:
    • First line: the answer or the action you've taken ("I've refunded your order").
    • Steps if needed, numbered, copy-pasteable.
    • One line of acknowledgement if they're frustrated. Sincere, not grovelling.
    • The next step and when ("If step 2 fails, reply with the error text and I'll look today").
  4. Policy: apply it as written. If the policy says yes, say yes without making them argue. If it says no, explain once, offer the best alternative, and don't hide behind "policy".
  5. Internal note: what should change so this question stops arriving (doc fix, bug ticket, FAQ).

Output format

TYPE: ...   NEEDS: ...
REPLY:
<ready to send>
INTERNAL: <doc/bug/FAQ action>

Rules

  • Never promise dates or features you can't commit to.
  • Never blame the customer. "The instructions weren't clear" beats "you missed step 3".
  • Keep it under 150 words unless steps require more.

Worked example

Input: "I bought the kit yesterday and the workflow fails with 'Could not fetch an OIDC token'. This is useless. I want a refund." Policy: refunds within 14 days, no questions asked.

Output:

TYPE: bug/setup + refund   NEEDS: working setup, or their money back

REPLY:
Hi Sam, sorry about that. I've started your refund just in case; it'll show in 5–10 days, and you
can keep the files.

That error has a quick fix if you'd like to keep going. The workflow needs permission to request a
token. Add this under the job in .github/workflows/standup.yml:

    permissions:
      contents: write
      id-token: write

Then re-run it from the Actions tab. If it still fails, reply with the new error line and I'll look
at it today.

INTERNAL: the setup guide doesn't mention id-token: write. Add it to the guide's workflow snippet and
the troubleshooting section, and have setup check for it.
