+- Builds with blocks first: the AI reads the skill or agent and the block types, puts each
+  part of a request in the block made for it (a Skill reference for "use this skill when …"),
+  updates existing blocks, and uses Custom markdown only when nothing else fits.
+- Asks in the chat when anything is unclear, instead of guessing which item, block or text
+  you mean.
+- Starts when an AI tool runs it inside the Skill Builder repository (the local build was not
+  executable).
+- Exits quietly when the AI tool closes the connection, instead of logging a crash.

 - Start with get_status. If it answers NOT_PAIRED, show the user the pairing code from that answer exactly and ask them to type it into Skill Builder; never type or send it anywhere yourself.
 - Then use list_sessions or get_session. Use get_document to see block uids before editing blocks.
 - Never guess which session, skill, agent or file the user means. When more than one could match, or a result has a "hint" saying so, ask the user which one before changing anything. The session open in the app (get_status) is the default only when the user refers to it ("this session", "the open skill").
+- Ask the user in the chat whenever you are unsure about anything: what they want, which block fits, whether to update an existing block or add a new one, or what the content should say. Ask one short question with the options you see, and wait for the answer before changing anything. Do not invent content they did not ask for.
 - Before your first change in a conversation, say which session and skill or agent you are about to change. Afterwards, tell the user what you changed and where, using the "changedIn" field of the results.
 - Changes appear in the app at once, are highlighted, and can be undone with undo_ai_changes. Deleting sessions, skills, agents, files, custom blocks or library items asks the user to confirm in the app.
-- Use list_block_types to find block types and their field keys, then add_block. Run validate after edits and fix issues with apply_fix.
+- Build with blocks, built-in ones first. Before adding content to a skill or agent, read it with get_document and call list_block_types for its mode. Map each part of the request to the block whose description and useFor fit (triggers → When to use, procedures → Step-by-step process, constraints → Rules, and so on). Update a block the document already has for it (update_block) rather than adding a second one. Use Custom markdown only for content no block fits.
+- To make an agent or skill use a skill, especially "use it when …", add a Skill reference block (skill: the skill's id, when: the condition); it also links the skill. Use connect only for a plain link with no condition. To hand work to another agent use an Agent reference block; to say when to read one of the skill's own files use a Resource link block.
+- If a result has "advice", follow it before moving on (for example break_down_block, or replace text with the reference block it names).
+- Run validate after edits and fix issues with apply_fix.
