What problem does it solve?
Without enforced skill usage, AI coding assistants often skip established best practices for specific task types, leading to inconsistent results, missed workflow steps, and suboptimal outcomes even for common tasks like debugging, planning, or code review.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mandatory Skill Invocation Rule: Requires checking for and invoking relevant skills before any response or action, even for seemingly simple tasks or clarifying questions, to ensure adherence to proven workflows.
- Clear Priority Hierarchy: Establishes that user explicit instructions always take precedence over skills, which in turn override default system prompt behavior, maintaining user control at all times.
- Cross-Platform Support: Provides native tool mappings and loading instructions for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and Pi, so skills work seamlessly across all major AI coding environments.
- Use Case: When starting a new feature implementation, this skill ensures you first invoke the brainstorming skill to plan the work, then the test-driven-development skill to write tests before writing implementation code, rather than skipping straight to coding.
Quick Start
When beginning any new task, first check if any installed skill applies to your work and invoke it before taking any further action.
