ethos
Explore and write an agent's Ethos
An ETHOS.md records what an agent is supposed to do, what it must avoid, and
how to judge success. Implementation and traces show what it currently does;
they do not establish what its owner intends. Explore the implementation, ask
for missing intent, then write and review the document in this one workflow.
This skill works locally with an existing or proposed agent and saves the result
as ETHOS.md. Keep changes scoped to that document, preserving the agent, model,
runtime, and evaluation scoring. Recording change permissions does not authorize
exercising them. Do not commit automatically.
When another workflow calls this skill, honor its selected agent, explicit paths, write boundaries, and review checkpoints. Return to that workflow's next unfinished step; do not start an optimization or build workflow yourself.
