What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by string-os/string in skills/using-string/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

You have the installed String MCP tool named string; some hosts display it with a server prefix.

Call it with { topic, cmd }, for example { "topic": "main", "cmd": "/info" }.

Use topics like main, app:<name>, app:<name>:<config>, bash:<name>, or hubs app, tool, bash, system.

cmd must start with /; use /help, /info, and /act --help to discover what to do.

Use /open to read files, URLs, or apps; installed apps can run /act.<name> directly from app:<name> if you already know the action.

Use /install to add apps; /set $VAR = "..." for app credentials.

Read the payload inside <𝒞=string:TOPIC>...</𝒞> and follow Recovery: or next: hints.
