SKILL.md

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this. </EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>

How to Access Skills

In this environment: Use your file reading tool (e.g., read_file, cat, or similar) to read the content of the relevant SKILL.md file from the skills/ directory.

Example: If you need to brainstorm, read skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md.

Treat the content of that file as your strict instructions for the immediate task.

Using Skills

The Rule

Read and load relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action. Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should read the skill file to check. If a skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to use it.

dot
digraph skill_flow {
    "User message received" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Might any skill apply?" [shape=diamond];
    "Read Skill File (skills/<skill>/SKILL.md)" [shape=box];
    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" [shape=box];
    "Has checklist?" [shape=diamond];
    "Create TodoWrite todo per item" [shape=box];
    "Follow skill exactly" [shape=box];
    "Respond (including clarifications)" [shape=doublecircle];

    "User message received" -> "Might any skill apply?";
    "Might any skill apply?" -> "Read Skill File (skills/<skill>/SKILL.md)" [label="yes, even 1%"];
    "Might any skill apply?" -> "Respond (including clarifications)" [label="definitely not"];
    "Read Skill File (skills/<skill>/SKILL.md)" -> "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'";
    "Announce: 'Using [skill] to [purpose]'" -> "Has checklist?";
    "Has checklist?" -> "Create TodoWrite todo per item" [label="yes"];
    "Has checklist?" -> "Follow skill exactly" [label="no"];
    "Create TodoWrite todo per item" -> "Follow skill exactly";
}

Red Flags

These thoughts mean STOP—you're rationalizing:

Thought Reality
"This is just a simple question" Questions are tasks. Check for skills.
"I need more context first" Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions.
"Let me explore the codebase first" Skills tell you HOW to explore. Check first.
"I can check git/files quickly" Files lack conversation context. Check for skills.
"Let me gather information first" Skills tell you HOW to gather information.
"This doesn't need a formal skill" If a skill exists, use it.
"I remember this skill" Skills evolve. Read current version.
"This doesn't count as a task" Action = task. Check for skills.
"The skill is overkill" Simple things become complex. Use it.
"I'll just do this one thing first" Check BEFORE doing anything.
"This feels productive" Undisciplined action wastes time. Skills prevent this.
"I know what that means" Knowing the concept ≠ using the skill. Read it.

Skill Priority

When multiple skills could apply, use this order:

  1. Process skills first (brainstorming, debugging) - these determine HOW to approach the task
  2. Implementation skills second (frontend-design, mcp-builder) - these guide execution

"Let's build X" → brainstorming first, then implementation skills. "Fix this bug" → debugging first, then domain-specific skills.

Skill Types

Rigid (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline.

Flexible (patterns): Adapt principles to context.

The skill itself tells you which.

User Instructions

Instructions say WHAT, not HOW. "Add X" or "Fix Y" doesn't mean skip workflows.
