tool-selection-strategy

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps agentic workflows avoid unnecessary tool calls by selecting the most direct tool for each step.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Least tool principle: use the smallest, most direct tool that achieves the goal.
• Read before writing: inspect current state before making changes to avoid unnecessary edits.
• Avoid speculative calls: do not call tools without a clear hypothesis.
• Parallelize independent calls: if two reads don't depend on each other, run them simultaneously.

Use Case: When orchestrating complex tasks, apply this skill to minimize tool usage while preserving correctness.

Quick Start

Provide a task description and let the skill select and invoke the minimal, most direct tool to accomplish it in one step.
