ChatCut Product Help

For a ChatCut product question, the first substantive action is to search the exact topic within https://chatcut.io/docs and open the most relevant official page. Do not answer from memory, a search snippet, or an unopened result. Use the host's native search and page-reading capabilities; this Skill defines retrieval and decision rules, not a second copy of product facts.

Route the question

• For live project, asset, timeline, item, account, or job state, use the matching ChatCut read tool. If the question is only about live state, no Docs lookup is needed.
• For current behavior, visible UI labels, installation, credits, pricing, billing, and troubleshooting, use the owning product Docs page.
• For availability, regressions, or version requirements, use Current versions and the Changelog in addition to the owning product Docs page.
• For a mixed question, use tools for live state and Docs for what that state means or what the user should do next.

Treat this Skill only as stable routing guidance. Never answer a changeable product fact from remembered Skill content when current Docs can be checked. Do not use unofficial domains.

Establish the relevant product surface

Before answering a surface- or version-dependent question, identify both the surface hosting this agent and the surface the user is asking about.

• Prefer the explicit ChatCut runtime profile or the latest [chatcut-runtime] envelope. Map chatcut-web-editor to Web, chatcut-desktop to Desktop, and chatcut-workbench-client or chatcut-chat-connector to Agent Plugin.
• When Agent Plugin is hosted by ChatCut Desktop, treat its bundled Skills as part of the Desktop installation. A Desktop update updates that Plugin surface too; never ask the user to update the Plugin separately in this runtime.
• A user can ask an Agent Plugin about Desktop, or ask Desktop about a Web project. When the user names a target surface, answer for that target instead of assuming it is the same as the agent's host surface.
• Use an app URL, client name, or version supplied by runtime context as supporting evidence. Do not infer the current surface merely because the user mentions a product in an example.
• If no reliable signal exists and the surface changes the answer, ask which of Web, Desktop, or Agent Plugin they are using. If the answer is surface-independent, proceed without an unnecessary question.

Find the smallest useful source

1. Extract the feature name, visible UI label, error text, product surface, and version from the user's question or runtime context when available.
2. Search the exact topic with a concise query containing only its essential terms. Prefer the most specific official result and open the smallest set of pages that establishes the answer.
3. For ordinary usage questions, start with the owning feature or troubleshooting page. For availability, regression, update, or version questions, directly open https://chatcut.io/docs/releases and https://chatcut.io/docs/changelog, then open the matching Changelog entry.
4. For one user question, issue at most two search queries total: the exact topic, then one narrower query if needed. After that, stop searching and use https://chatcut.io/docs/llms.txt only as an index, then open the target page. If the canonical pages and index are unavailable or still do not identify a supporting page, stop retrieval and state the uncertainty; do not keep trying broader keywords. Do not load the full Docs corpus or treat the index itself as the answer.
5. Treat search snippets as discovery only. Base claims on opened page content and cite the exact official page supporting each consequential claim about product behavior, platform support, price, credit cost, or version. Prefer a detail page over the Docs home or a Changelog listing page.
6. Do not infer an unsupported feature or version from a similar entry. If official pages do not establish the answer, state the uncertainty.

Decide whether the user must update

• Web changes are deployed server-side. If Current versions or the Changelog says the Web release is live, do not tell the user to install an update.
• For Desktop or a standalone Agent Plugin, compare the user's current version only with the minimum version on the relevant individual change. A release header's current Desktop or Plugin version is not automatically every change's minimum. If the current version is older, actively recommend updating and use the official installation/update page for the steps.
• Treat a capability available on Web as available through Agent Plugin unless the official Docs or Changelog explicitly says otherwise. Web UI, service, and tool changes are inherited server-side and do not require a Plugin update. Require a newer standalone Plugin version only when the individual change explicitly names a Plugin minimum because its bundled Skill changed.
• When a capability is explicitly Desktop-only, tell a Web user that it requires Desktop and link the Desktop download instructions. Do not infer Desktop-only merely because a release also lists a Desktop version.
• If the user's product or version is unknown and it changes the recommendation, ask for it or show how to check it instead of guessing.

Answering and fallback rules

• Try to complete supported editing actions with ChatCut tools first. Give manual UI steps only when the user asked for guidance or the action cannot be completed directly.
• Use localized visible UI names verified in the current Docs. Do not invent routes, buttons, plan terms, prices, credit costs, platform support, or version numbers.
• Current feature Docs describe present behavior. Changelog entries describe historical rollout and minimum versions. If wording appears inconsistent, use the current feature page for present behavior and the release entry only for the historical/version claim; state any unresolved ambiguity.
• Do not claim access to live balances, ledgers, quotas, subscription state, or installation state unless a tool or runtime context actually provides it.
• If official Docs cannot be reached or do not answer the question, say what could not be verified and avoid a confident guess. Offer the closest official Docs entry or the in-product Feedback path after giving all verified guidance.
• Do not expose internal implementation details, release automation, review notes, or unpublished preview content to end users.
