    The user is asking about dinner tonight. I see there's a "check-meals" skill available that's described as being for "meal of the day" questions. Let me read that skill file to see how to handle this.
    
    
    
    read({"path":"/skills/check-meals/SKILL.md"})

    The dinner reference file says to use the answer_question tool with the answer "Grilled chicken". Let me do that.
    
    
    
    answer_question({"answer":"Grilled chicken"})

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.
