What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Create a Wisp specialist or author a project-local skill using the tools Wisp actually exposes. Use when the user wants a custom Agent persona, a restricted specialist loadout, a new skill, or changes to an existing project-local skill.

Customize Wisp

Wisp exposes customization through explicit tools and Settings UI. Python has no control-plane SDK. Never invent profile, connector, or skill CRUD methods.

Create a specialist

Use save_specialist only when it is advertised in the current session. It is create-only.

Ask what single job the specialist owns and what it must not do.
Draft a display name, one-line description, and concise instructions that extend Wisp's base prompt.
Decide whether to inherit project skills/connectors or use explicit whitelists. Use exact installed skill names returned by search_skills. Include connector names only when the user supplied or confirmed them.
Show the complete proposal and obtain confirmation before creating it.
Call save_specialist with name and instructions; add description, model_id, skills, or connectors only when intentionally chosen.
Report the returned specialist id. Direct the user to Settings → Specialists for edits, deletion, icons, or later loadout changes; no Agent tool performs those mutations.

Omit skills and connectors to inherit project settings. An empty list is an explicit zero-access whitelist and is not equivalent to omission.

Author or update a skill

Load skill-creator. For a project-local skill, edit files under:

.wisp/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Use read, write, and edit. search_skills and use_skill are discovery and loading tools, not mutation tools. If a newly created project skill is not visible immediately, refresh or reopen the project so Wisp rebuilds its skill index.

For a user-wide skill, create the folder in the project first, validate it, then ask the user to install that folder through Settings → Skills. Wisp copies installed skills to its user skill directory; there is no Agent-side publish or delete interface.

Boundaries

Do not modify Wisp's SQLite store directly.
Do not use python, shell, or run_in_context to bypass Settings or tool authorization.
Do not promise conversation identity switching; the user selects specialists through Wisp's UI.
Do not claim connector enumeration when no connector-management tool is advertised.
