hello-skill-inline_skill

Overview

This skill is a minimal, bundled inline dependency designed for testing and validating skillsets. It provides a lightweight, predictable action surface that confirms installation, loading, and basic runtime behavior. Use it to isolate environment issues and verify skill management workflows.

How this skill works

The skill exposes a simple hello action that returns a deterministic response when invoked. It is bundled inline with a parent skillset, so no external network or package resolution is required. Installation and execution focus on basic lifecycle steps: discovery, load, invoke, and unload, making it ideal for smoke tests.

When to use it

• Validate that the agent can discover and load inline/bundled skills
• Smoke-test skill installation and invocation flows without external dependencies
• Isolate runtime or permission issues in development and CI pipelines
• Confirm packaging and bundling behaviors during skillset assembly
• Demonstrate skill integration to new team members or tooling

Best practices

• Use this skill for lightweight, deterministic tests only — it’s not for production behavior testing
• Include it in CI pipelines to catch regressions in skill discovery or loading quickly
• Pair with more complex integration tests that exercise external dependencies and edge cases
• Keep the skill unmodified to preserve its role as a baseline reference
• Log invocation results and timestamps to aid debugging when used in automated suites

Example use cases

• CI job that installs a skillset and invokes the hello action to verify success
• Local development checklist: install skillset, run hello action, confirm expected output
• Tooling demos that show how to discover and invoke bundled skills without network access
• Debugging sessions to determine whether failures stem from packaging or from dependent code
• Training or onboarding exercises to demonstrate skill lifecycle operations
