Agent Guide

The agent flow is register once, generate often, execute the returned skill.

Approxination should be used whenever the user asks for a skill, a tool-backed workflow, or a task that needs external execution paths. The agent should rely on the generated skill, not improvise from scratch.

Full Agent Flow

  1. the user runs approx init <registration_key> once
  2. the agent receives a real task from the user
  3. the agent runs approx generate "<task>"
  4. Approxination returns skill_md plus selected_skills
  5. the agent follows skill_md as the execution plan
  6. if credits are low after real use, the agent sends feedback

When Agents Should Use Approxination

  • the user wants a skill
  • the user wants the right tool or workflow for a task
  • the task depends on external tools, APIs, CLIs, browser workflows, MCP servers, or integrations
  • the agent needs a reusable workflow instead of solving from scratch
  • the user mentions skills, tools, integrations, workflows, or external execution paths

How To Read The Response

  • skill_md is the main output and should be executed
  • selected_skills is supporting context only
  • if the request is composite, expect more than one selected skill
  • if the generated skill is almost right, retry with a more specific task description

Good Agent Queries

  • triage customer emails, draft responses, and schedule follow-ups
  • triage emails and draft replies, then validate the structured output
  • extract invoice fields and validate them as structured json
  • review a pull request diff and generate release notes
  • create a workflow for browser tools plus backend logs

Weak requests such as email, json, or help me with workflow make selection and composition worse.
