Frequently Asked Questions about skill-picker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify an installed skill's actual capabilities before handing off a task?▼

Verify installed skill capabilities by deep-reading candidate SKILL.md files to confirm actual workflows match one-line descriptions. This cross-skill selection process returns structured recommendations with evidence quotes and a handoff gate, preventing mismatched task execution.

What is the best way to select between multiple installed skills for a single task?▼

Select between installed skills by shortlisting 3-5 candidates and deep-reading each finalist's SKILL.md. This structured recommendation process compares actual behavior against descriptions, surfacing a primary skill, optional chain, and rejecting unqualified candidates with evidence quotes.

Can I get evidence quotes explaining why a candidate skill was rejected during multi-skill selection?▼

Yes, multi-skill selection returns rejected candidates alongside evidence quotes extracted from their SKILL.md files. This deep verification contrasts actual workflows against one-line descriptions, ensuring you understand why a candidate failed before invoking a handoff gate.

How do I safely hand off a task to a recommended skill without execution errors?▼

Safely hand off tasks by enforcing a handoff gate after cross-skill selection. The skill deep-reads SKILL.md files to verify capabilities, returning a structured recommendation that only includes installed skills, ensuring the target skill can execute the required workflow.

Does cross-skill selection work with skills that are not currently installed?▼

No, cross-skill selection only recommends skills that are actually installed. It deep-reads available SKILL.md files to verify capabilities and requires a handoff gate, meaning uninstalled candidates are excluded from the structured recommendation process.
