Sauna Platform Reference
Ground yourself in Sauna platform fundamentals before planning skills. Covers what Sauna is (AI knowledge assistant execution environment), its core objectives (help users, build knowledge, leverage skills), runtime file paths and constraints, built-in tools (what NOT to build), session watcher agents (automatic knowledge maintenance), external action patterns (preview and approval), and context quality thresholds. Load this before planning skills to avoid building redundant capabilities and to understand how your skills will execute in the Sauna environment.

Read the documentation in: `skills/sauna/sauna.platform.reference/references/sauna.context.quality.md`

                  
                    1. Install Sauna Platform Reference with: ```bash
rm -rf skills/sauna/sauna.platform.reference && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/sauna.platform.reference/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat skills/sauna/sauna.platform.reference/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Briefly tell the user what you are now able to do.
