What problem does it solve?
This skill enforces mandatory invocation of the Skill tool before any agent response, establishing a consistent governance pattern for conversations and reducing misapplied actions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic activation: The skill defines explicit triggers that require invoking the Skill tool when evaluating a user request.
- Activation protocol: Before every reply, the agent evaluates file, task, state, and content triggers, and invokes all matching skills as needed.
- Guidance and governance: Provides a clear workflow for teams to ensure skills are applied consistently across platforms (e.g., Claude Code) and contexts.
Quick Start
Invoke the Skill tool before responding to any user input. In Claude Code, call Skill("shipyard:using-shipyard") to load this policy and follow its steps. If unsure, trigger the skill evaluation and proceed according to outcomes.
