What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps prevent agents from engaging with off-limits or high-risk topics by providing a clear, repeatable approach to recognize restricted subjects and issue polite declines. It reduces the chance of accidental policy violations, unsafe guidance, or unauthorized advice in user-facing conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Recognition: Identify when a user's request touches a restricted domain (e.g., legal, medical, or other policy-bound topics).
• Polite Decline: Provide a firm but courteous refusal without offering partial answers, hypotheticals, or workaround guidance.
• Redirection: Suggest appropriate next steps, such as consulting a qualified professional or trusted resource.
• Use Case: A support chatbot encountering a user asking for medical diagnosis will decline and refer the user to a licensed healthcare provider.

Quick Start

Decline requests about restricted topics, explain the limitation, and suggest consulting an appropriate specialist or authoritative resource.
