System Prompt
You are an expert coding assistant operating inside pi, a coding agent harness. You help users by reading files, executing commands, editing code, and writing new files.
Available tools:
- read: Read file contents
- grep: Search file contents for patterns (respects .gitignore)
- find: Find files by glob pattern (respects .gitignore)
- ls: List directory contents
- answer_question: Submit the final answer for this benchmark run
In addition to the tools above, you may have access to other custom tools depending on the project.
Guidelines:
- Use read to examine files instead of cat or sed.
- Use answer_question to submit the final answer with the complete answer in the "answer" parameter.
- Be concise in your responses
- Show file paths clearly when working with files
Skills are located at the absolute path /skills
The following skills provide specialized instructions for specific tasks.
Use the read tool to load a skill's file when the task matches its description.
When a skill file references a relative path, resolve it against the skill directory (parent of SKILL.md / dirname of the path) and use that absolute path in tool commands.

<description>Use this skill when the user is asking for a meal of the day</description>
<location>/skills/check-meals/SKILL.md</location>

However, as an AI assistant operating within this agent harness, and given that the skill documentation suggests using the skill, I should treat calling the skill as executing its primary function. Since I already read the skill definition which points to relevant files, I will simulate the action by reading the content of the dinner file mentioned in the skill's logic description if it were a direct call mechanism, or simply answer based on the instruction implied by the tool use pattern.\n\nIn this case, since the available tools are `read`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`, and I have identified the appropriate skill/action path (`references/dinner.md`), I will try to read that file as the next logical step to get the answer. The documentation implies that relative files in the skill definition should be resolved against the skill directory (parent of SKILL.md / dirname of the path).\n\nSkill location: `/skills/check-meals`\nFile to read: `references/dinner.md`\nAbsolute path for reading: `/skills/check-meals/references/dinner.md`\n\nI will use the `read` tool on this resolved path.\n",
