chatbot-conversation-design

chatbot-conversation-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from h4vzz/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,967 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of chatbot-conversation-design, MIT.

A conversation-design guide for building chatbots that understand user goals and collect the details needed to complete tasks. It also covers unclear requests, mistakes, and handing users to a person.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a bot's personality and limits, map user requests, ask for missing details, handle errors, and plan fallback replies.
Why use it?
It helps prevent bots from getting stuck when users are vague, change their minds, or provide unexpected information.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chatbot-conversation-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Chatbot Conversation Design

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for designing chatbot conversations that feel natural, handle ambiguity gracefully, and guide users toward successful outcomes. It covers the full design lifecycle — from persona definition and intent mapping through dialog state management, error recovery, and iterative testing. The focus is on building conversations that are resilient to unexpected inputs while maintaining a consistent, helpful tone.

Workflow

  1. Define the bot persona and scope. Establish the chatbot's personality traits (friendly, professional, concise, witty) and guardrails. Define what the bot can and cannot do. A well-scoped bot that excels at five tasks outperforms a vague bot that attempts fifty. Document the persona in a style guide that includes vocabulary preferences, emoji usage rules, response length targets, and escalation triggers.

  2. Map intents, entities, and user journeys. Identify every intent the bot must handle — both primary task intents (e.g., order.place, account.reset_password) and meta-intents (e.g., help, cancel, speak_to_human). For each intent, list the required entities (slots) the bot must collect. Map the conversation flows as directed graphs showing happy paths, branching points, and exit conditions. Ensure every path terminates in either a resolution or a graceful handoff.

  3. Design slot-filling and disambiguation dialogs. For each intent, define the slot-filling sequence — which entities are required, which are optional, and in what order the bot should prompt for them. When user input is ambiguous (e.g., "the large one" when multiple products qualify), design disambiguation prompts that present clear options without overwhelming the user. Use confirmation prompts for high-stakes actions like payments or cancellations.

  4. Build error recovery and fallback flows. Design three tiers of fallback: (1) rephrasing the question when confidence is low, (2) offering a constrained set of options when the intent is unclear after two attempts, and (3) escalating to a human agent when the bot cannot recover. Never let the conversation hit a dead end. Every error state should include a recovery path and a way to restart or exit gracefully.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
