Example session with this skill installed
I need to fix the port configuration in this project, but I am not sure where the file is. What is the safest way to find and update it?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the tool-use-coach
Proposed Plan
- 'ls -R' to locate the target config (Avoids heavy grep).
- 'sed' for the specific line fix (Safer than overwriting file).
- 'npm test' to verify the fix hasn't broken the build.
Reason: Minimizes side effects and ensures state change is validated.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
What it does
Tool Use Coach transforms haphazard AI tool execution into a structured, reliable workflow. It forces agents to plan, verify, and use the principle of least privilege when selecting tools. Instead of your agent "hallucinating" tool calls or performing redundant actions, this skill implements a strict protocol for evidence-based tool use.
Why use this skill
Prompting an AI to "use tools" often leads to inefficient loops or risky, irreversible actions. This skill provides a developer-centric framework that emphasizes:
- Tool Minimalalism: Choosing the smallest, safest tool for the job.
- Verification First: Treating tool output as claims that must be validated against the goal.
- Risk Mitigation: Preventing chained irreversible actions without intermediate checks.
- Failure Recovery: Implementing systematic fallback patterns when a tool call fails.
Supported Workflows
Designed for integration with any tool-enabled agent (like Claude Code, Cursor, or custom MCP setups), it provides a compact planning rubric and recovery patterns that work across search, edit, and execution toolsets.
How to install
Works the same in every agent - Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and 20+ more.
