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

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

Inputs

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

Outputs

Summary
