System Random Skill

Generate random numbers, UUIDs, passwords, and random picks.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "Pick a random number between 1 and 100"
• "Generate a UUID"
• "Create a random password"
• "Pick 2 random items from [apple, banana, cherry]"
• "Random float between 0 and 1"
• User needs any form of randomness

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• Cryptographic-grade randomness → use secrets or crypto libraries
• Shuffling large datasets → use shuffle/sample in code
• Reproducible seeded randomness → use random with seed in code

Usage/Commands

# Random integer in range
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --int 1 100

# Random float in range
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --float 0.0 1.0

# UUID
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --uuid

# Random password (default 16 chars)
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --password 20

# Pick N random items from a comma-separated list
python {skill_path}/random_util.py --choice "apple,banana,cherry,date" --count 2

Notes

• Uses bundled random_util.py CLI for all random generation
• Password length is configurable via the integer argument
