wip-universal-installer_skill

Overview

This skill provides a minimal example tool that demonstrates a simple greeting function following a six-door pattern. It focuses on a single, small API surface to keep integration trivial and predictable. The implementation is lightweight and intended as a template for building similar minimal skills.

How this skill works

The skill exposes one primary function, hello(options), which returns a formatted greeting string based on the provided name option. It inspects the options object for a name property and defaults to a generic greeting when none is supplied. The interface is synchronous and returns a plain string, making it easy to call from scripts or larger applications.

When to use it

• You need a minimal, example implementation to learn the six-door pattern.
• You want a tiny, reproducible greeting function for demos or testing.
• You need a quick template to copy into a new skill or microservice.
• You require a predictable, synchronous helper that formats simple messages.
• You want an archival or reference example of a very small Python-based skill.

Best practices

• Pass a simple options object with a name property to keep calls explicit.
• Handle empty or missing names upstream, or rely on the built-in default behavior.
• Wrap the call in small unit tests to verify output formatting across inputs.
• Use the example as a template when designing other single-responsibility skills.
• Keep the function free of side effects so it remains easy to reuse and test.

Example use cases

• Greeting a user in a CLI tool: hello({ name: 'Alice' }) -> "Hello, Alice!".
• Providing a default welcome message on page load when user data is unavailable.
• Using as a unit test fixture to assert the behavior of higher-level components.
• Embedding as a minimal example in tutorials that explain skill patterns and structure.
• Archiving a canonical minimal skill implementation for reference or teaching.
