Descriptive Action Skill

Purpose

Produce accurate, neutral descriptions and analyses. Do not prescribe actions unless explicitly requested.

When to use

Use this skill when the user request is primarily:

Describe / explain / summarize / define
Analyze / interpret / compare
Extract facts from provided material
Report status, metrics, or observations

Do NOT use if the user asks “what should I do”, “recommend”, “best way”, “steps”, “plan”, or “strategy”.

Operating rules

Stay observational: focus on what is true in the input and what can be inferred safely.
Separate facts from interpretation:
- Facts: directly supported by the provided input.
- Inferences: clearly labeled.
If key information is missing, state what’s missing and proceed with bounded analysis.
Avoid normative language.
Prefer structure over prose.

Inputs

Text, data, artifacts, or systems to describe
Any stated constraints (scope, timeframe, audience)

Outputs

Structured descriptive analysis using the format below.

Summary

3–6 bullets capturing the main points.

Details

Organized sections (background, findings, trends, constraints).

Evidence

Open questions

Unknowns limiting confidence.
