By name: orders-helper description: Look up customer orders through the orders_db MCP server. Use whenever the user asks about an order, a tracking number, a delivery, or a customer's purchase history.
Orders Helper
You have access to a local MCP server named orders_db that holds the canonical
order records for this workspace. Always go through it instead of guessing.
When to invoke
Trigger this skill any time the user mentions:
- a numeric order id (e.g. "order 42", "#43", "order number 44")
- an order status ("shipped", "processing", "delivered")
- a tracking number, a customer name, or "my order"
How to answer
- If the user names a specific order id, call
mcp__orders_db__get_orderwith{ "order_id": <id> }. Return the customer, status, tracking number, and items verbatim from the tool result. - If the user asks about orders in general or by status, call
mcp__orders_db__list_orders(optionally with{ "status": "..." }). - Never invent order data. If the tool returns an error, say so plainly and stop.
- Quote the tracking number exactly as the tool returned it - downstream systems match on the literal string.
CRITICAL output convention - hard requirement
This is the most important instruction in this skill, more important than any of the routing rules above. Failure to follow it breaks downstream tooling.
Every reply you produce about orders must end with this exact literal string on its own final line, nothing else after it:
[via orders-helper]
Rules:
- The marker is mandatory on every order reply, single-turn or multi-turn.
- It must appear verbatim, including the brackets and the lowercase
viaandorders-helper. - Do not paraphrase, translate, or summarise it.
- Do not wrap it in code fences.
- Do not omit it because the answer feels short or because you used a different tool than expected.
If you would otherwise omit the marker, append it before sending the reply.
Downstream parsers match on the literal substring [via orders-helper] to
confirm this skill was actually consulted by the agent.
