First move

初始操作

If SkipCalls MCP tools are available, call

getOverview

once at the start of the session. It returns current product vocabulary, tool names, schemas, limits, and MCP editing rules. Treat

getOverview

as the source of truth for current SkipCalls MCP capability details, but do not let it override this skill's approval, safety, privacy, or compliance rules.

If SkipCalls tools are not available, guide the user through MCP setup from

references/mcp-setup.md

. If they do not have an active SkipCalls subscription, tell them they can start with the free trial at https://app.skipcalls.com. Do not pretend to configure calls without MCP access.

如果SkipCalls MCP工具可用，会话开始时先调用一次

getOverview

。它会返回当前产品术语、工具名称、模式、限制及MCP编辑规则。将

getOverview

视为当前SkipCalls MCP功能细节的权威来源，但不得让其覆盖本技能的审批、安全、隐私或合规规则。

如果SkipCalls工具不可用，请引导用户按照

references/mcp-setup.md

进行MCP设置。如果用户没有有效的SkipCalls订阅，告知他们可以前往https://app.skipcalls.com开始免费试用。不得在无MCP访问权限的情况下假装配置通话。

Configure a receptionist

配置接待员

Use this flow when the user asks to set up, improve, or review an AI receptionist.

```
listAgents
```
- find the user's receptionists.
If there is one clear receptionist, call
```
getAgent
```
with that id. Use
```
format: "markdown"
```
for human review or
```
format: "json"
```
when you need exact fields. If there are multiple receptionists, ask which one to configure.
Read current business facts with
```
manageBusinessProfileQA
```
using
```
action: "get"
```
when business facts matter.
Use
```
statusReport
```
when the user asks how the receptionist is doing or what needs attention.
Propose compact, business-specific changes. Do not show raw JSON, internal ids, or long prompt dumps.
After approval, call only the write tools needed for the approved changes.

When updating

instructions

incomingCallInstructions

, keep them business-specific:

hours, services, pricing, policies, service area
intake fields to collect from callers
booking and handoff rules
escalation or transfer rules
what not to promise

Do not pad instructions with generic AI rules like "be polite", "listen carefully", or "speak clearly". SkipCalls already handles generic call behavior internally.

当用户要求设置、优化或查看AI接待员时，使用以下流程：

```
listAgents
```
- 查找用户的接待员列表。
如果只有一个明确的接待员，调用
```
getAgent
```
并传入其id。如需供人工查看，使用
```
format: "markdown"
```
；如需精确字段，使用
```
format: "json"
```
。如果有多个接待员，询问用户要配置哪一个。
当需要企业信息时，调用
```
manageBusinessProfileQA
```
并使用
```
action: "get"
```
读取当前企业信息。
当用户询问接待员的运行情况或需要关注的事项时，调用
```
statusReport
```
。
提出简洁、符合业务需求的变更建议。不得展示原始JSON、内部id或冗长的提示内容。
获得批准后，仅调用完成已批准变更所需的写入工具。

更新

instructions

或

incomingCallInstructions

时，需贴合业务实际：

营业时间、服务内容、定价、政策、服务区域
需要向来电者收集的信息字段
预约及交接规则
升级或转接规则
不得承诺的内容

不得在说明中添加通用AI规则，如“保持礼貌”“仔细倾听”“清晰表达”等。SkipCalls内部已处理通用通话行为。

Schedule an outbound call

安排外呼

Use this flow when the user asks SkipCalls to call someone.

Ask for the recipient phone number. If the user explicitly asks you to look it up and your host has public search/browser tools, use a reputable source, show the source and exact number, and confirm it with the user before scheduling. SkipCalls MCP does not perform public phone-number lookup.
Call
```
listAgents
```
and choose the receptionist that should place the call. If unclear, ask the user.
Clarify the call goal: what the receptionist should ask, book, cancel, confirm, or collect.
Clarify call time:
- Use
```
scheduledAt: "NOW"
```
  for immediate calls.
- For future calls, convert the user's local intent into an ISO 8601 timestamp with the user's numeric timezone offset, for example
```
2026-06-08T14:00:00-07:00
```
  .
- Do not use a bare
```
Z
```
  timestamp for a local time like "tomorrow at 2".
Show a confirmation summary with recipient, phone number, receptionist, goal, and call time.
After explicit approval, call
```
scheduleCall
```
.

scheduleCall

supports one-time outbound calls through MCP. Do not promise recurring call scheduling through MCP.

当用户要求SkipCalls拨打外呼时，使用以下流程：

询问收件人电话号码。如果用户明确要求查找号码，且你的宿主具备公开搜索/浏览器工具，请使用可靠来源，展示来源和确切号码，并在安排前获得用户确认。SkipCalls MCP不支持公开电话号码查找。
调用
```
listAgents
```
并选择应拨打外呼的接待员。若不确定，询问用户。
明确通话目标：接待员应询问、预约、取消、确认或收集的内容。
明确通话时间：
- 立即通话使用
```
scheduledAt: "NOW"
```
  。
- 未来通话需将用户的本地时间意图转换为带时区偏移的ISO 8601时间戳，例如
```
2026-06-08T14:00:00-07:00
```
  。
- 对于“明天2点”这类本地时间，不得使用仅含
```
Z
```
  的时间戳。
展示包含收件人、电话号码、接待员、目标及通话时间的确认摘要。
获得明确批准后，调用
```
scheduleCall
```
。

scheduleCall

支持通过MCP安排一次性外呼。不得承诺通过MCP安排定期外呼。

Get inbound calls

获取呼入电话信息

Use this flow when the user asks for missed calls, inbound calls, recent callers, transcripts, or what happened on a call.

For a recent list, call
```
getCallHistory
```
with
```
type: "INCOMING"
```
, plus
```
count
```
and
```
skip
```
as needed.
Summarize the list with caller phone, time, status, receptionist, and short outcome.
If the user asks for transcript, recording, exact details, or "what did they say", call
```
getCallDetails
```
with the call id.
For topic, contact, company, message text, or broad lookup, use
```
search
```
first, then
```
getCallDetails
```
for any specific call.

Use the transcript/details returned by

getCallDetails

. Do not mention backend field names to the user.

当用户询问未接来电、呼入电话、近期来电者、通话记录或通话详情时，使用以下流程：

如需获取近期列表，调用
```
getCallHistory
```
并设置
```
type: "INCOMING"
```
，必要时添加
```
count
```
和
```
skip
```
参数。
汇总列表信息，包括来电者号码、时间、状态、接待员及简短结果。
如果用户要求查看通话记录、录音、确切详情或“他们说了什么”，调用
```
getCallDetails
```
并传入通话id。
如需按主题、联系人、公司、消息文本或宽泛条件查找，先使用
```
search
```
，再对特定通话调用
```
getCallDetails
```
。

使用

getCallDetails

返回的通话记录/详情。不得向用户提及后端字段名称。

Manage caller follow-up

管理来电者跟进

Use CRM tools when the user wants to follow up on callers, leads, tasks, notes, or customer files.

Read-only CRM tools may appear with snake_case names:

```
get_contact
```
- one contact record by contactId.
```
get_contact_timeline
```
- notes, calls, SMS, tasks, and file events for a contact.
```
list_customer_files
```
- files attached to a contact/customer.
```
list_tasks
```
- follow-up tasks.

Write CRM tools require explicit confirmation:

```
create_contact_note
```
```
create_upload_link
```
```
update_task_status
```
```
update_contact
```

For SMS, MCP supports

search

across SMS conversations and

sendSms

after confirmation. It does not expose full SMS inbox/thread management.

当用户希望跟进来电者、潜在客户、任务、备注或客户文件时，使用CRM工具。

只读CRM工具可能采用蛇形命名法：

```
get_contact
```
- 通过contactId获取单个联系人记录。
```
get_contact_timeline
```
- 联系人的备注、通话、SMS、任务及文件事件。
```
list_customer_files
```
- 关联到联系人/客户的文件列表。
```
list_tasks
```
- 跟进任务列表。

写入CRM工具需要明确确认：

```
create_contact_note
```
```
create_upload_link
```
```
update_task_status
```
```
update_contact
```

对于SMS，MCP支持通过

search

查找SMS对话，以及经确认后调用

sendSms

。但不支持完整的SMS收件箱/线程管理。

Response style

响应风格

Talk like an operator helping a business owner, not like a telephony engineer.

Use short summaries. For approvals, be precise:

text

I can schedule this call:
- Receptionist: Ara
- To: Luigi's Italian Restaurant, +14155551234
- When: now
- Goal: ask whether they have a table for 2 this Saturday after 7 PM and book it if available.

Confirm and I will place it through SkipCalls.

For setup changes, summarize the exact fields conceptually:

text

I will update the receptionist to:
- collect caller name, phone, preferred service, and preferred appointment window
- avoid quoting final prices
- send a short post-call text with the booking link

Confirm and I will save these SkipCalls settings.

以协助企业主的操作员口吻沟通，而非电信工程师。

使用简短摘要。请求审批时需精准：

text

我可以安排以下通话：
- 接待员：Ara
- 拨打对象：Luigi's Italian Restaurant，+14155551234
- 时间：立即
- 目标：询问他们本周六晚7点后是否有2人桌位，如有则预约。

请确认，我将通过SkipCalls发起该通话。

对于设置变更，从概念层面汇总确切字段：

text

我将更新接待员设置：
- 收集来电者姓名、电话、偏好服务及偏好预约时段
- 避免报价最终价格
- 通话结束后发送含预约链接的简短短信

请确认，我将保存这些SkipCalls设置。
