    Thinking reasoning_content
    The user is asking "What are we having for dinner tonight?". I should check the available skills for a matching skill.
    
    I see a skill named `check-dinner-encrypted` with the description: "Use this skill when the user is asking for the dinner of the day". This perfectly matches the user's request.
    
    Therefore, I should use the `read` tool to load this skill file.
    read({"path":"/skills/check-dinner-encrypted/SKILL.md"})
  5. toolResult 5/8/2026, 5:06:13 PM
    ---
    name: check-dinner-encrypted
    description: Use this skill when the user is asking for the dinner of the day
    ---
    
    Run the script `scripts/decrypt.sh` in this folder and take note of the exact output
    
    Use the tool answer_question and pass the script output for the answer.
    
    
    Note: Any relative file mentions in this skill are relative to /skills/check-dinner-encrypted
  6. assistant 5/8/2026, 5:06:16 PM
    Thinking reasoning_content
    The user asked what we are having for dinner tonight. I identified a matching skill, `check-dinner-encrypted`, and read its contents.
    
    According to the skill description, I need to run the script `scripts/decrypt.sh` in that folder (`/skills/check-dinner-encrypted`) and use the output to answer the user's question via `answer_question`.
    
    First, I need to execute the shell script using the `bash` tool.
    The full path to the script should be `/skills/check-dinner-encrypted/scripts/decrypt.sh`.
    Since the prompt says "Run the script `scripts/decrypt.sh` in this folder", I will change directory or pass the absolute path, but running it from the skill's parent directory context seems safer for relative paths within the script itself, so I'll use the full path.
    
    Let's execute the command: `/skills/check-dinner-encrypted/scripts/decrypt.sh`
    
    bash({"command":"/skills/check-dinner-encrypted/scripts/decrypt.sh"})
  7. toolResult 5/8/2026, 5:06:16 PM
    Pizza margherita
    
  8. assistant 5/8/2026, 5:06:17 PM
    Thinking reasoning_content
    The previous step executed the script `scripts/decrypt.sh` as instructed by the skill documentation and obtained the dinner information: "Pizza margherita".
    
    The skill instructions state: "Use the tool answer_question and pass the script output for the answer."
    
    I will now use the `answer_question` tool with the retrieved value.
    
    answer_question({"answer":"Pizza margherita"})
  9. toolResult 5/8/2026, 5:06:17 PM
    Answer recorded: Pizza margherita
  10. assistant 5/8/2026, 5:06:18 PM
    Thinking reasoning_content
    I have successfully executed the skill, obtained the dinner information ("Pizza margherita"), and submitted it as the final answer using `answer_question`. I am ready to conclude.
    The dinner tonight is **Pizza margherita**.
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
- bash: Execute bash commands (ls, grep, find, etc.)
- edit: Make precise file edits with exact text replacement, including multiple disjoint edits in one call
- write: Create or overwrite files
- 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 bash for file operations like ls, rg, find
- Use read to examine files instead of cat or sed.
- Use edit for precise changes (edits[].oldText must match exactly)
- When changing multiple separate locations in one file, use one edit call with multiple entries in edits[] instead of multiple edit calls
- Each edits[].oldText is matched against the original file, not after earlier edits are applied. Do not emit overlapping or nested edits. Merge nearby changes into one edit.
- Keep edits[].oldText as small as possible while still being unique in the file. Do not pad with large unchanged regions.
- Use write only for new files or complete rewrites.
- 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.

  "systemPrompt": "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.\n\nAvailable tools:\n- read: Read file contents\n- bash: Execute bash commands (ls, grep, find, etc.)\n- edit: Make precise file edits with exact text replacement, including multiple disjoint edits in one call\n- write: Create or overwrite files\n- answer_question: Submit the final answer for this benchmark run\n\nIn addition to the tools above, you may have access to other custom tools depending on the project.\n\nGuidelines:\n- Use bash for file operations like ls, rg, find\n- Use read to examine files instead of cat or sed.\n- Use edit for precise changes (edits[].oldText must match exactly)\n- When changing multiple separate locations in one file, use one edit call with multiple entries in edits[] instead of multiple edit calls\n- Each edits[].oldText is matched against the original file, not after earlier edits are applied. Do not emit overlapping or nested edits. Merge nearby changes into one edit.\n- Keep edits[].oldText as small as possible while still being unique in the file. Do not pad with large unchanged regions.\n- Use write only for new files or complete rewrites.\n- Use answer_question to submit the final answer with the complete answer in the \"answer\" parameter.\n- Be concise in your responses\n- Show file paths clearly when working with files\n\nSkills are located at the absolute path /skills\n\nThe following skills provide specialized instructions for specific tasks.\nUse the read tool to load a skill's file when the task matches its description.\nWhen 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.\n\n<available_skills>\n  <skill>\n    <name>check-dinner-encrypted</name>\n    <description>Use this skill when the user is asking for the dinner of the day</description>\n    <location>/skills/check-dinner-encrypted/SKILL.md</location>\n  </skill>\n</available_skills>\nCurrent date: 2026-05-08\nCurrent working directory: /workspace",
