Contextual Intent Grounding
Use this skill when the user gives a short or messy request that doesn't explain the full details, but the 'right way' to do it is already visible in the environment. It should be triggered by casual phrasing like “finish the rest of the list,” “do it just like the others,” “update the records using the existing style,” or “add a new entry to the site following the current layout.” This applies when an agent must look at previous examples, templates, or sibling folder structures to figure out what fields to fill, what formats to use, or where exactly to put a file without being told explicitly. Example triggers include: “keep the formatting consistent with previous weeks,” “fill in the missing rows,” and “put the file where it belongs based on the other folders.”
