SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Defines and centralizes automatic trigger relationships between skills to simplify and automate workflow orchestration. This is a configuration skill intended to be referenced by other skills rather than invoked directly.

Core Features & Use Cases

Hook definitions: declare after_complete, before_start, and on_error triggers to chain skills.
Mode options: support auto, background, and ask_first to control when triggers fire.
Project-wide orchestration: enables a cohesive flow across multiple skills by reading and applying defined triggers in the workflow orchestrator.
Example usage: a completed PR planning skill triggers session-logger and code-reviewer automatically.

Quick Start

Add a hooks section in a triggering skill's front matter to specify the next skill and mode.
