System Random Skill

Generate random numbers, UUIDs, passwords, and random picks.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

  • "Pick a random number between 1 and 100"
  • "Generate a UUID"
  • "Create a random password"
  • "Pick 2 random items from [apple, banana, cherry]"
  • "Random float between 0 and 1"
  • User needs any form of randomness

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

  • Cryptographic-grade randomness → use 
    secrets
    or crypto libraries
  • Shuffling large datasets → use shuffle/sample in code
  • Reproducible seeded randomness → use random with seed in code

Usage/Commands

# Random integer in range
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --int 1 100

# Random float in range
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --float 0.0 1.0

# UUID
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --uuid

# Random password (default 16 chars)
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --password 20

# Pick N random items from a comma-separated list
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --choice "apple,banana,cherry,date" --count 2

Notes

  • Uses bundled 
    random_util.py
    CLI for all random generation
  • Password length is configurable via the integer argument
