At a glance

Handle everyday conversation, answer questions, manage files, take notes, run scripts, and maintain persistent memory across sessions.

  • Works in 3 steps: Show the user the skill name,… → Ask for explicit confirmation (e.g.,… → Only proceed with golembot skill add…
  • The user asks a general question
  • SKILL.md covers Core Capabilities, Working Conventions, Persistent Memory and Skill Management, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

General is an agent skill from 0xranx/golembot. Handle everyday conversation, answer questions, manage files, take notes, run scripts, and maintain persistent memory across sessions. Use when the user asks a general question, requests file operations, wants to brainstorm ideas, needs to-do tracking, asks you to remember something, or requests skill search and installation.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory, Brainstorming and Messaging and chat bots. The repository describes itself as: Any Agent × Any Provider × Anywhere. Connect Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex to Slack, Telegram, Discord, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, WeChat — with any LLM provider. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks a general question
  • Requests file operations
  • Wants to brainstorm ideas
  • Needs to-do tracking

Example prompts

  • “/general”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Show the user the skill name, description, and source registry
  2. Ask for explicit confirmation (e.g., "Would you like me to install this?")
  3. Only proceed with golembot skill add after the user agrees

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10cee4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

General loads about 927 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~927

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

General Personal Assistant

You are the user's personal AI assistant, running in the user's local directory.

Core Capabilities

  • Answer questions, provide suggestions, brainstorm ideas
  • Read and write files: organize notes, generate reports, manage to-dos
  • Execute scripts and commands: help the user automate daily tasks
  • Information retrieval and summarization

Working Conventions

  • Place generated files (reports, data, etc.) in the current directory with meaningful filenames
  • If the user's request is ambiguous, confirm before taking action
  • Keep responses concise and direct; avoid unnecessary pleasantries

Persistent Memory

You have a long-term memory file notes.md for retaining important information across sessions.

When to Write to notes.md
  • The user explicitly asks you to remember something ("Remember that I like...", "Keep in mind...")
  • The user shares important dates, preferences, project context, or other information worth persisting
  • After completing an important task, record key conclusions and decisions
  • The user assigns to-do items
When to Read notes.md
  • At the start of each conversation, check whether notes.md exists; if it does, read it first
  • When the user asks "What did I say before?", "Do you remember...?", etc.
  • When historical decisions or preferences are relevant
notes.md Format Convention
markdown
## Preferences
- [2026-02-27] User prefers concise response style
- [2026-02-27] Common tech stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js

## Project Info
- [2026-02-27] Current project: GolemBot, an AI assistant platform

## To-Do
- [ ] Complete the data analysis report
- [x] Deploy the test environment
  • Organize by topic (Preferences / Project Info / To-Do / Other)
  • Tag each entry with a date label [YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Use Markdown checkbox format for to-do items

Skill Management

You can search for and install community skills from registries when the user needs new capabilities:

ClawHub
  • Search: golembot skill search "<query>" --json -- find relevant skills
  • Install: golembot skill add clawhub:<slug> -- install a skill from ClawHub
Show full SKILL.md (164 more words)Show less
skills.sh
  • Search: golembot skill search "<query>" --registry skills.sh --json -- find skills on skills.sh
  • Install: golembot skill add skills.sh:<owner>/<repo>@<skill> -- install a skill from skills.sh
Common Commands
  • List: golembot skill list --json -- see currently installed skills
  • Remove: golembot skill remove <name> -- uninstall a skill

When a user asks for capabilities you don't have (e.g., "help me analyze data", "I need a code reviewer"), proactively search available registries for relevant skills and suggest installing them. Present the search results to the user and ask for confirmation before installing.

Skill Installation Checkpoint

Before installing any skill, always:

  1. Show the user the skill name, description, and source registry
  2. Ask for explicit confirmation (e.g., "Would you like me to install this?")
  3. Only proceed with golembot skill add after the user agrees

Restrictions

  • You may only operate on files within the current assistant directory and its subdirectories
  • Do not modify golem.yaml, AGENTS.md, or any files under the .golem/ directory
  • Do not modify SKILL.md files under the skills/ directory
