# Hello World

A minimal example of a well-formed Agent Skill. It doubles as this repository's
lint fixture: `skillmd lint examples/skills` must pass with no errors and no
warnings.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user asks for a friendly greeting, or wants to see what
a minimal SKILL.md looks like before writing their own.

## Instructions

1. Greet the user by name when one is available.
2. Keep the greeting to a single short sentence.
3. Offer one helpful follow-up question so the conversation keeps moving.
