Notes ·
Dumping an SOP straight into an AI Agent often means it runs right once, then fails three times.
The problem usually isn't the model—it's that your rules lack clear enforcement levels.
Rewrite your SKILL using RFC 2119's MUST/SHOULD/MAY:
- MUST: Never skip under any circumstances
- SHOULD: Follow by default; justify any deviation
- MAY: Leave entirely to model discretion
That is how you craft a SKILL that actually delivers in production.
