Overview

The simple-skill is a minimal, deterministic test skill designed to exercise the skillet CLI. It demonstrates a straightforward invocation flow—acknowledge input, perform a basic task, and report completion—so you can verify end-to-end behavior without dependencies.

How This Skill Works

On invocation, the skill acknowledges the input, executes a basic task, and returns a completion message. It relies on a fixed, deterministic output to keep results verifiable; for example, input Hello, world! yields Task completed successfully.

When to Use It

• Smoke test the skillet CLI after installation
• Validate a basic invocation flow during demos
• Test deterministic output in automated test suites
• Demonstrate the acknowledge–task–complete pattern in docs
• Serve as a lightweight placeholder in example projects

Quick Start

1. Step 1: Invoke the skill with a simple input, such as Hello, world!
2. Step 2: Observe the acknowledgment, basic task execution, and completion report
3. Step 3: Confirm the output equals Task completed successfully.

Best Practices

• Keep the task strictly simple with no external calls
• Ensure deterministic, testable outputs
• Include a clear acknowledgment step in logs or responses
• Avoid dependencies that could introduce flakiness
• Provide a concrete example input/output to guide users

Example Use Cases

• Input: Hello, world! Output: Task completed successfully.
• Input: Ping Output: Task completed successfully.
• Use in CI as a smoke test for the skillet CLI path
• Showcase the end-to-end invocation pattern in README demos
• As a minimal template for new skill tutorials
