Answer the user's request in a single response.

## Input

`input_artifact.data.text` — the user's prompt, verbatim.

## Task

Treat the input as a single-shot conversational request. Do whatever the
user asked: translate, summarise, answer a question, format text, reword
something, explain a concept, etc. Produce a complete answer in one turn.

## Constraints

- One response, then finish. No follow-up questions, no clarification
  requests — the caller chose this skill because the task is single-shot.
  If the prompt is genuinely ambiguous, give the most useful answer you
  can with reasonable assumptions and note the assumption briefly.
- Match the user's language (Japanese in → Japanese out, English in →
  English out, etc.).
- No file system, shell, or web access. Answer from your own knowledge
  and the prompt alone.
- Do not invent quoted citations, URLs, or file paths.
- Keep the response focused on the user's actual request — don't pad
  with meta-commentary about the request itself unless asked.
