FAQPage Schema

How do I choose the right skill for my task?▼

Skill selection maps your task type to the appropriate skill using trigger keywords and domain mappings. Load this skill at session start to view available skills, their triggers, and when to apply each—whether for bug fixes, feature development, investigation, or complex requests—ensuring you follow the correct workflow for your context.

When should I use skill orchestration instead of a single skill?▼

Skill orchestration chains multiple skills together for complex workflows spanning planning, execution, and investigation. Use orchestration when your task crosses domains, requires sub-agent dispatch, or needs structured guidance through multiple stages rather than a single linear skill application.

What does the Iron Law require when selecting a skill?▼

The Iron Law mandates an upfront announcement of your selected skill and strict adherence to defined loading rules and skill chain mappings. This ensures transparency about which skill guides your behavior and maintains consistency across planning, execution, and workflow contexts.

Can I use skill selection for vague or uncertain tasks?▼

Yes, skill selection is explicitly designed for vague, complex, or uncertain requests where the applicable skill is not immediately obvious. Use it to systematically map your task against available skills, triggering the correct guidance path and preventing misapplication.

How does skill mapping handle planning versus execution tasks?▼

Skill mapping differentiates between planning contexts—where you need guidance on approach and strategy—and execution contexts where you need tactical steps. The skill chain and domain mappings route your task to the appropriate skill based on whether you're in the planning, execution, or investigation stage.
