Surprise Me

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

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Available Skills

Read all the skills listed in the <available_skills>.

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 full SKILL.md body of each selected skill
  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)
