What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the entire skill-driven workflow, ensuring Skill tool invocation before any response and discipline across tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Forced Skill Invocation: Always check for applicable skills first.
  • Flow Control: Routes through defined phase skills (Define → Research → Plan → Execute → Verify).
  • Consistency: Enforces a standardized approach to all tasks.

Quick Start

Always begin by invoking the appropriate skill before replying to a task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate a workflow that automatically invokes skills before responding?▼

Orchestrate skill-driven workflows by invoking the agent-workflow skill to mandate skill discovery and invocation before any assistant response. This enforces Skill tool usage, loads skill content for direct following, and ensures skills are considered across all conversations and clarifying questions.

What does it mean to enforce skill-driven automation across all tasks?▼

Skill-driven automation enforces a standardized workflow discipline that applies skill invocation to initialization, user prompts, and task-oriented interactions. This ensures consistent, predetermined skill consideration rather than ad-hoc tool selection for every request.

How do I set up a workflow with defined phases for task orchestration?▼

Define phase-based workflow routing through structured skill stages: Define → Research → Plan → Execute → Verify. Each phase routes to applicable skills, ensuring tasks flow through the correct sequence and skills are invoked at the appropriate stage rather than randomly.

Can I apply skill-driven workflow orchestration to all conversation types?▼

Yes, skill-driven workflow orchestration applies to all conversations, clarifying questions, and task-oriented interactions. It mandates skill invocation before response generation, covering initialization through task completion to ensure discipline across every interaction type.

What's the difference between forced skill invocation and optional skill usage?▼

Forced skill invocation mandates skills are checked and applied before any response is generated, ensuring consistent workflow adherence. Optional usage leaves tool selection to chance, whereas orchestrated workflows eliminate inconsistency by requiring skill discovery and application as a prerequisite to answering.

Why enforce skill discipline instead of allowing flexible task handling?▼

Enforcing skill discipline prevents inconsistent task handling and ensures every request benefits from relevant skill application. Standardized workflow enforcement maintains predictable, repeatable processes where skills are always considered first, improving reliability across initialization, clarifying questions, and complex task execution.
