description	Selected during the capability phase to add tools, expose parameters, fix implementations, or remove infrastructure limitations that restrict the agent.

Meta-ARE Capability Patch (Plugin-specific)

When Capability Is Required (Plugin-specific)

Use this skill when GAIA2 evidence shows that correct behavior is impossible or structurally unreliable with the current default-agent action space. Eligible causes include a missing tool, insufficient parameter, implementation defect, incorrect return shape, missing registration, agent-loop limitation, configuration mismatch, or absent runtime support.

Use the core diagnosis to identify which executable capability boundary should change.

Capability Surfaces (Plugin-specific)

• Add a tool only when existing tools cannot express the required reusable operation. Follow current registration and module conventions.
• Add or change a parameter only when the agent needs information or control that the current signature cannot represent. Inspect all callers and retain compatible defaults where the repository contract permits them.
• Fix an implementation only after confirming the runtime behavior differs from its intended contract or fails a relevant boundary case.
• Change loop or configuration behavior only when traces show a structural execution limitation rather than an isolated model decision.

Agent Discoverability (Plugin-specific)

When capability, signature, output, side effect, or constraint changes, update every affected agent-facing docstring or prompt in the same mutation. Confirm the rendered tool description teaches the model how and when to use the new behavior. Remove stale workarounds or conflicting descriptions rather than stacking contradictory guidance.

Capability Safety (Plugin-specific)

Keep the implementation narrow, preserve unrelated callers and passing behavior, and test registration plus the real import path. Do not access protected benchmark internals, cross candidate boundaries, or encode task-specific names, IDs, answers, or lookup tables.
