FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a specific task workflow at the start of every session?

Enforcing a task workflow at session start requires an automated mechanism that scans for matching skills and loads the appropriate workflow before responding. This ensures mandatory steps are applied and task progress remains auditable.

What is the best way to make skill usage mandatory rather than optional during development?

Making skill usage mandatory involves automatically detecting available skills at session start and loading the best match for the current task. The system announces the active skill and follows it to structure the interaction, preventing optional bypassing.

How do I structure a development session to include brainstorm, write-plan, and execute-plan phases?

Structuring a session with brainstorm, write-plan, and execute-plan phases requires a guiding workflow that enforces these designated steps sequentially. The workflow activates at start and applies the phases to ensure auditable task progress from ideation to execution.

Can I automatically discover and load relevant skills before processing a user request?

Yes, you can automatically discover and load relevant skills before processing a request by using a session-start trigger. This trigger scans for matching skills, loads the appropriate one, and follows it to guide the task workflow before generating a response.

How does automatic skill discovery ensure auditable progress during native tasks?

Automatic skill discovery ensures auditable progress during native tasks by loading a designated workflow that structures the interaction into specific steps. It announces the active skill, applies the steps sequentially, and tracks the workflow from start to finish.
