Read Skill Artifact

Use this tool to lazily load instructions, scripts, or reference data from a skill's virtual folder. This avoids polluting the initial system prompt with megabytes of context that might never be needed.

When to use:

  • You have been asked to use a particular skill and need to read its operating instructions.
  • You want to inspect a script inside a skill's scripts/ folder before executing it.
  • You need to read a reference file inside artifacts/ for a task.

Workflow:

  1. Call read_skill_artifact with the skill_name and file_path.
  2. Read the returned content.
  3. Use the instructions or scripts from the content to proceed with the task.
