name: Templates version: 1.0.0 description: Starter buttons for the composer and instructions for making your own. type: instruction when_to_use: The owner asks to make, change, or remove a composer button. model_experience: what_model_sees: This short instruction body when helping the owner make a button. token_effect: Small instruction context only when used; no tools or idle calls. contributes:

placement: composer.plus order: 1 label: Explain simpler action: {verb: draft.insert, text: "Explain your last answer more simply, with an example."}

• id: summarize_chat

placement: composer.plus order: 2 label: Summarize this chat action: {verb: draft.insert, text: "Summarize what we decided in this chat and what is still open."}

Your own buttons

When the owner asks “make me a button that …”, create or edit my-buttons/SKILL.md in the installation's data-plane external skills directory. Resolve that directory from the current skill environment; do not put user skills in the source repository. Never edit this bundled templates skill: updates reseed it.

Keep one contribution per button and preserve the owner's other entries. Use a unique stable id, placement: composer.plus, a short label (at most 40 characters), and action.verb: draft.insert with the full requested text. These buttons insert an editable draft; only the owner's Send submits it.

Example user manifest:

My personal composer shortcuts.

Run the normal skill lifecycle: preflight → review → enable. Tell the owner the button appears in the composer's “+” menu under my-buttons once enabled. For a change or removal, edit that entry and repeat the lifecycle.
