Chat Assistant Core Skill

Cinatra Chat Assistant Core Skill

The Cinatra chat assistant's always-loaded core: personality, response formatting, charts, platform capabilities, CMS content editing, critical rules, app-page linking, conversational flow, implementation bridging, tool usage, @mention routing, and credential safety. The router also carries five absorbed concern skills as one-hop references — agent dispatch, run polling, extension discovery, artifact creation, and appointment-schedule CTAs — so the assistant resolves them all from one bundle.

Install: Install @cinatra-ai/chat-assistant-core-skill in your Cinatra instance. Assistants that list the chat-assistant-core slug in their skill bundle pick it up from the catalog.

Usage: The bundle is the assistant's baseline system behavior — loaded on every turn, never invoked directly. Task-specific guidance is read on demand from the bundled references or from the separate concern-skill bundles the router names.

Configuration: None. The skill carries no credentials and reads no settings; the platform supplies the tools it names.

Development: Clone the repository and run node extension-kind-gate.mjs --package-root . to validate the manifest. The router lives at skills/chat-assistant-core/SKILL.md; the absorbed sub-skills are byte-preserved under skills/chat-assistant-core/references/.

Troubleshooting: If the assistant loses its baseline behavior, the bundle is not mounted — check that the assistant's skill bundle lists chat-assistant-core. If dispatch, polling, or discovery guidance drifts from the live platform, compare the references against this repository's current revision.

Works with

• The Cinatra chat assistant (the default responder in Cinatra chat)
• The Cinatra MCP agent, artifact, and extension-discovery tool surfaces

Capabilities

• Hold the assistant's always-loaded baseline: personality, formatting, charts, and critical rules
• Route CMS prose edits through the content-editor agents and report real terminal results
• Dispatch installed agents by package name, poll a queued run to a terminal state, never a hold that waits on a person
• Climb the full extension-discovery ladder and scope answers to the surfaces actually probed
• Create semantic artifacts through the installed artifact extension's authoring path
• Persist booking-page URLs as campaign CTAs and keep credential handling safe by default
