Surprise Me

Deliver an unexpected, delightful experience by dynamically discovering available skills and combining them creatively.

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Available Skills

Review the skill names and descriptions already listed in `<available_skills>`. Do not read every skill body. Pick the most relevant candidates from metadata first.

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:

1. **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 2. **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 3. **Personalized artifact**: Use known user context to create something personal and delightful

Step 4: Execute

1. Read the SKILL.md body only for the 1 to 3 selected skills 2. Follow each skill's instructions for technical execution 3. Combine outputs into one cohesive deliverable 4. 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)
