openai promptoor: """`reportlab` is installed for PDF creation. You *must* read `/home/oai/skills/pdfs/skill.md` for tooling and workflow instructions."""

normal person: If the user asks you to create a PDF, consult ~/skills/pdfs/skill.md for information on available libraries and workflow.

(why would you say what library is available when the model needs to consult the skill file anyways? that just encourages trying to yolo without reading the skill file. why would you put a disconnected *must* sentence outside the conditional, making it sound like the model should always read the skill file whether or not the user wants a pdf? the model is just going to ignore that and it increases the latent 'system prompter is an idiot' hypothesis causing it to ignore your other rules, too.)
