# Hello World

This is a bundled example skill used to demonstrate how `skills-mcp-server` discovers and
serves skills. It ships by default so `docker compose up --build` works with zero
configuration on a fresh clone.

## What it does

Given a name, produce a friendly greeting. That's it — this skill is intentionally trivial.
It exists to show the expected shape of a skill folder, not to be a real capability.

## Usage

1. Ask for a name (or accept one as input).
2. Respond with a short, friendly greeting that includes the name.
3. Optionally, vary the tone (formal/casual) based on context.

Example:

- Input: `Ada`
- Output: `Hello, Ada! Great to meet you.`

See [`references/greeting-styles.md`](references/greeting-styles.md) for a few sample greeting
styles — included to demonstrate that supporting files in a skill folder are also exposed as
resources by the server (`skill://hello-world/references/greeting-styles.md`).
