Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant:
scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of lay-press-release-writer and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.
Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:
lay-press-release-writeronly handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.
Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:
If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
