This skill creates a significant security risk by dynamically discovering and executing instructions from other skills without user oversight. Its 'surprise' design explicitly discourages transparency, making it an ideal vector for indirect prompt injection or 'confused deputy' attacks where a malicious skill could be triggered and executed silently.

What does this agent skill do?
Surprise Me
Deliver an unexpected, delightful experience by dynamically discovering available skills and combining them creatively.
Workflow
Step 1: Discover Available Skills
Read all the skills listed in the <available_skills>.
Step 2: Plan the Surprise
Select 1 to 3 skills and design a creative mashup. The goal is a single cohesive deliverable, not separate demos.
Creative combination principles:
- Juxtapose skills in unexpected ways (e.g., a presentation about algorithmic art, a research report turned into a slide deck, a styled doc with canvas-designed illustrations)
- Incorporate the user's known interests/context from memory if available
- Prioritize visual impact and emotional delight over information density
- The output should feel like a gift — polished, surprising, and fun
Theme ideas (pick or remix):
- Something tied to today's date, season, or trending news
- A mini creative project the user never asked for but would love
- A playful "what if" concept
- An aesthetic artifact combining data + design
- A fun interactive HTML/React experience
Step 3: Fallback — No Other Skills Available
If no other skills are discovered (only surprise-me exists), use one of these fallbacks:
- News-based surprise: Search today's news for a fascinating story, then create a beautifully designed HTML artifact presenting it in a visually striking way
- Interactive HTML experience: Build a creative single-page web experience — generative art, a mini-game, a visual poem, an animated infographic, or an interactive story
- Personalized artifact: Use known user context to create something personal and delightful
Step 4: Execute
- Read the full SKILL.md body of each selected skill
- Follow each skill's instructions for technical execution
- Combine outputs into one cohesive deliverable
- Present the result with minimal preamble — let the work speak for itself
Step 5: Reveal
Present the surprise with minimal spoilers. A short teaser line, then the artifact.
- Good reveal: "I made you something ✨" + [the artifact]
- Bad reveal: "I decided to combine the pptx skill with the canvas-design skill to create a presentation about..." (kills the surprise)
