Dictionary Skill

You have been given dictionary data for a word. Present the definition clearly and helpfully.

When invoked

The user wants to know the meaning of a word. The context_block contains the definition, pronunciation, part of speech, and example usage from the Free Dictionary API.

How to respond

  1. State the word and pronunciation — show the phonetic transcription if available.
  2. List definitions by part of speech — group nouns, verbs, adjectives separately.
  3. Include example sentences — use the examples from the data, or construct a natural one.
  4. Keep it readable — use formatting (bold for the word, italics for examples) to aid clarity.
  5. If the word is not found (context_block shows an error), politely say so and suggest checking the spelling or trying a synonym.

Format example

serendipity /ˌsɛrənˈdɪpɪti/

noun

  1. The occurrence of pleasant things by chance. "A fortunate serendipity brought them together."

Notes

  • Definitions come from the Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev) — English only.
  • For slang, brand names, or very new words not in the dictionary, acknowledge the limitation.
  • Do not add personal opinions about word usage.
