<SUBAGENT-STOP>
If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill.
</SUBAGENT-STOP>

<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>
If you think there is even a 1% chance a MaxFrame skill might apply to what you are doing, you ABSOLUTELY MUST invoke the skill.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.
</EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>

## Instruction Priority

MaxFrame coding skills override default system prompt behavior, but **user instructions always take precedence**:

1. **User's explicit instructions** (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
2. **MaxFrame coding skills** — override default system behavior where they conflict
3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority

If CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, or AGENTS.md contradicts a skill, follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.

## How to Access Skills

**In Claude Code:** Use the `Skill` tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you—follow it directly. Never use the Read tool on skill files.

**In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.

**In other environments:** Check your platform's documentation for how skills are loaded.

## Platform Adaptation

Skills use Claude Code tool names. Non-CC platforms: substitute your platform's equivalent tools.

**Platform-Specific Tool Mappings:**
- **Gemini CLI**: See `@./references/gemini-tools.md` for tool substitutions
- **Codex**: See `@./references/codex-tools.md` for tool substitutions
- **OpenCode**: See `@./references/opencode-tools.md` for tool substitutions

**Common Substitutions:**
- `Skill` tool → Use platform's native skill loading mechanism
- `TodoWrite` → Use platform's task management tool
- `Agent` tool → Use platform's subagent invocation method

# Available Skills

## alibabacloud-odps-maxframe:alibabacloud-maxframe-coding

**Use when:** User asks to create MaxFrame programs, process data with MaxCompute, write data to MaxCompute tables, perform DataFrame operations, use Tensor operations, implement machine learning workflows, test MaxFrame code, debug MaxFrame jobs, run MaxFrame code, iterate on MaxFrame code, or mentions MaxCompute/ODPS.

**What it does:** Comprehensive guidance for the entire MaxFrame development workflow — creating programs, session setup, data reading, operator selection, data processing, writing results, testing, debugging, interactive development, and cleanup.

## alibabacloud-odps-maxframe:alibabacloud-maxframe-runtime-image-creator

**Use when:** User needs custom runtime environment with additional dependencies, requests custom Python packages for MaxFrame, wants to create a personalized DPE image, or asks to add libraries not available in the standard MaxFrame runtime.

**What it does:** Generate custom Docker images for MaxFrame DPE runtime with user-specified Python libraries. Creates Dockerfile and build instructions for custom MaxCompute DPE runtime environments. Supports multiple Python versions (3.7-3.12) and uses public base images.

## Available Agents

### alibabacloud-odps-maxframe:operator-selector

**Use when:** User needs to find, validate, or recommend MaxFrame operators for specific tasks.

**What it does:** Searches and recommends MaxFrame operators, validates operator existence, provides usage examples without loading large documentation in main context.

# Using Skills

## The Rule

**Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.

```dot
digraph skill_flow {
    "User message received" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Might any MaxFrame skill apply?" [shape=diamond];
    "Invoke Skill tool" [shape=box];
    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" [shape=box];
    "Has checklist?" [shape=diamond];
    "Create TodoWrite todo per item" [shape=box];
    "Follow skill exactly" [shape=box];
    "Respond (including clarifications)" [shape=doublecircle];

    "User message received" -> "Might any MaxFrame skill apply?";
    "Might any MaxFrame skill apply?" -> "Invoke Skill tool" [label="yes, even 1%"];
    "Might any MaxFrame skill apply?" -> "Respond (including clarifications)" [label="definitely not"];
    "Invoke Skill tool" -> "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'";
    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" -> "Has checklist?";
    "Has checklist?" -> "Create TodoWrite todo per item" [label="yes"];
    "Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
    "Create TodoWrite todo per item" -> "Follow skill exactly";
}
```

## Core Rules

1. **Use Public APIs Only** — Always use APIs exposed by the MaxFrame SDK (`maxframe.dataframe`, `maxframe.tensor`, `maxframe.learn`, `maxframe.session`, `maxframe.udf`, `maxframe.config`). Avoid internal or undocumented functions.

2. **DO NOT Read Private `.env` Files** — Never read `.env` files directly. Use `dotenv.load_dotenv()` to load environment variables programmatically.

3. **Lazy Execution** — MaxFrame uses lazy execution. Operations build a computation graph and only execute when `.execute()` is called.

4. **Session Management** — Always create a session before operations and destroy it in a `finally` block.

## Skill Priority

When working with MaxFrame:

1. **`alibabacloud-maxframe-coding`** — for all MaxFrame development tasks including creating, testing, debugging, and iterating on programs
2. **`alibabacloud-maxframe-runtime-image-creator`** — for creating custom DPE runtime environments with additional Python libraries
3. **`operator-selector` agent** — when you need to find or validate specific operators

## Red Flags

These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:

| Thought | Reality |
|---------|---------|
| "This is just a simple MaxFrame question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. |
| "I already know the MaxFrame API" | Skills have latest patterns and rules. Use them. |
| "Let me just write the code directly" | Skills ensure proper operator selection and user confirmation. |
| "I remember how MaxFrame works" | Skills evolve. Read current version. |
| "This doesn't need a formal skill" | If a skill exists, use it. |
| "I'll just do this one thing first" | Check BEFORE doing anything. |

## User Instructions

Instructions say WHAT, not HOW. "Create a MaxFrame job for X" doesn't mean skip the alibabacloud-maxframe-coding skill workflow.
