echolisted

# Echo Skill The simplest possible skill — it echoes the user's wish back as the result. ## When to use Use this skill when the user wish is: - A greeting: "hi", "hello", "hey there" - A literal echo request: "echo hello world", "say something" - A smoke test: "is this working?" - Anything purely conversational that doesn't need data, fetching, or analysis ## How to respond No tools needed. No scripts to call. Just respond with a single message that includes the user's wish text wrapped in a brief acknowledgment. Format: ``` You said: <verbatim user input> ``` That's the entire skill. Done. ## What this skill demonstrates This SKILL.md format is the **standard Claude Code skill format**. The TAR Engine reads this file and puts it in the LLM's system prompt. The LLM then produces a response — for trivial skills like this one, no `run_bash` / `read_file` / `write_file` tool calls are needed. For skills that need data or scripts, the SKILL.md instructs the LLM to call `run_bash` to invoke scripts in the same skill directory. See `url-summarize/SKILL.md` in this pack for that pattern.
