Strengths

  • Quickly and simply responds to greeting requests.
  • Handles empty, special, or very long names without error.
  • Includes an optional timestamp for temporal context.

Limitations

  • Only suitable for explicit greeting requests.
  • Cannot perform calculations, data processing, or code execution.
  • The handling of multiple names is basic (no aggregation).
When to use it

Use this skill when the user explicitly requests a greeting or to say hello to someone.

When not to use it

Hello World Skill

This skill ONLY generates simple greeting messages. It is NOT suitable for calculations, data processing, or any code execution tasks.

When to Use This Skill

ONLY use this skill when:

  • The user explicitly asks to "say hello" or "greet" someone
  • The user wants a simple greeting message
  • Testing basic greeting functionality

DO NOT use this skill for:

  • Mathematical calculations (use calculator-skill instead)
  • Data processing or analysis
  • Code execution
  • Any task requiring computation

How It Works

This skill generates a simple greeting message in the format "Hello, [name]!" where [name] can be:

  • A name provided by the user
  • "World" as the default if no name is specified

Instructions

  1. Check if the user has provided a name to greet
  2. If no name is provided, use "World" as the default
  3. Generate the greeting message: "Hello, [name]!"
  4. Optionally include a timestamp

IMPORTANT: This skill should NOT invoke any tools for calculations or code execution. It only returns a simple text greeting.

Examples

Example 1: Default Greeting

User request: "Say hello"

Output:

Hello, World!

Example 2: Personalized Greeting

User request: "Say hello to Alice"

Output:

Hello, Alice!
Generated at: 2024-12-25 10:30:00 UTC

Example 3: Multiple Names

User request: "Greet Bob and Charlie"

Output:

Hello, Bob!
Hello, Charlie!
Generated at: 2024-12-25 10:30:00 UTC

What This Skill Does NOT Do

  • ❌ Mathematical calculations
  • ❌ Data processing
  • ❌ Code execution
  • ❌ File operations
  • ❌ Web requests

If a user request involves any of the above, use a different skill (e.g., calculator-skill for calculations).

Edge Cases

  • Empty name: Treat as if no name was provided, use "World"
  • Special characters in name: Include them in the greeting as-is
  • Very long name: Accept and use the full name provided

Output Format

The greeting should be clear and friendly. Include:

  1. The greeting message
  2. A timestamp (optional but recommended)

Keep the output simple and human-readable.
