FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce skill invocation before Claude Code generates a response?

To enforce skill invocation before responses, you need a workflow guidance mechanism that checks for Skill tool usage at conversation start and during clarifications. This guarantees proper context loading and prevents the AI from replying without accurate skill metadata.

What is silent injection fallback in Claude Code context management?

Silent injection fallback in context management is a mechanism that loads skill context without explicit invocation. It provides specific fallback guidelines to prevent silent failures during context loading when the primary skill invocation process encounters interruptions.

How do I prevent prompt injection vulnerabilities when loading skills in Claude Code?

Preventing prompt injection when loading skills requires enforcing the Skill tool invocation prior to replies. By specifying required frontmatter metadata and tool access, you guard workflow integrity and ensure accurate skill context is applied safely across chats.

Does Claude Code support automatic skill invocation at the start of a conversation?

Yes, Claude Code supports automatic skill invocation at conversation start. The enforcement mechanism applies at conversation start and during clarifications to guarantee that the Skill tool is used before any assistant response is generated.

What frontmatter metadata is required for Claude Code skills to function properly?

Required frontmatter metadata for Claude Code skills includes specifications for tool access and silent-injection fallback behavior. This metadata guarantees accurate skill context loading and prevents silent failures during the workflow guidance process.

Why does my Claude Code workflow fail to load skill context during clarifications?

Your workflow fails to load skill context during clarifications if the Skill tool is not invoked before the response. Enforcing skill invocation at conversation start and during clarifications ensures proper skill usage and prevents silent context loading failures.
