Pre-response skill discovery works by requiring the agent to read a skill's SKILL.md frontmatter and content via view_file before replying. This allows the agent to determine and apply the most relevant skill, honoring user instruction precedence while checking Antigravity tool mappings from skill references.

You need to enforce skill discovery at the start of conversations and during task handling where skills may change agent behavior, such as brainstorming, debugging, or executing plans. This ensures prescribed processes are followed and prevents suboptimal outputs from acting without checking available skills.

Yes, skills referencing other platforms run correctly through provided Antigravity tool mappings and fallbacks. This platform adaptation ensures that skill invocation guidance specifying how to use view_file on .agent/skills directories functions properly across different environments.

The best way to prevent missing specialized guidance is enforcing a mandatory pre-response skill check before answering. By requiring the agent to consult skill references and interpret frontmatter before any reply, you ensure brainstorming, planning, or debugging skills are always applied.

Agents produce inconsistent outputs when they act without first checking available skills, missing specialized guidance and breaking prescribed processes. Implementing a mandatory pre-response skill discovery step ensures the most relevant skill is determined and applied before any agent reply is generated.
