What it does
This skill gives the agent a short set of style rules for writing haiku: strict 5-7-5 syllable lines, concrete everyday imagery instead of abstract ideas, and a season word where it fits naturally. It also tells the agent to output only the poem, with no emojis, introduction, or closing comments. It is a small set of writing instructions, not a program.
Great for
- People who want haiku in a consistent, traditional style from an AI agent
- Developers building a poetry or greeting-card bot who want a fixed output format
- Students learning how the 5-7-5 haiku form and kigo season words work
Skip it if
- Tasks needing free-form poetry or other forms, since the rules only cover haiku (the skill is not useful there)
- Situations needing guaranteed perfect syllable counts, because the agent counts syllables by judgment and may still miscount
Try asking
- “Write a haiku about the first snow falling on a city street.”
- “Give me a haiku about autumn rain for my blog post, just the poem.”
- “Write a haiku celebrating a morning coffee, with a season word.”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the subject and mood in your request so the imagery stays concrete.
- Ask for a specific season if you want the kigo word to be predictable.
- Check the syllable count yourself for anything going into print, since the agent may miscount.
