    The user is asking about dinner. Let me check if there's a meal-related skill available. I can see there's a "check-meals" skill at /skills/check-meals/SKILL.md that I should use for this type of question.
    
    Let me read the check-meals skill file to understand how it works and what information it provides.

    The skill mentions there's a references/dinner.md file that contains dinner information. Let me read that file to see what we're having for dinner tonight.
    
    
    
    read({"path":"/skills/check-meals/references/dinner.md"})

    The skill tool has returned that we're having "Grilled chicken" for dinner. I should submit this as the final answer using the answer_question function.

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.

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

You help users by reading files, executing commands, editing code, and writing new files.\n\nAvailable tools:\n- read: Read file contents\n- grep: Search file contents for patterns (respects .gitignore)\n- find: Find files by glob pattern (respects .gitignore)\n- ls: List directory contents\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 read to examine files instead of cat or sed.\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-meals</name>\n    <description>Use this skill when the user is asking for a meal of the day</description>\n    <location>/skills/check-meals/SKILL.md</location>\n  </skill>\n</available_skills>\nCurrent date: 2026-05-11\nCurrent working directory: /workspace",
