FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure the right skill is invoked before sending a response in a conversation?

To ensure skill invocation before a response, you need a protocol that triggers the Skill tool at the start of a conversation to locate and activate the most relevant skill for the user request.

What is the priority chain for user instructions, skills, and the default system?

The priority chain for conversation management dictates that user instructions take precedence over skills, which in turn override the default system, ensuring predictable and safe tool activation.

Does cross-platform conversation management work with Claude Code and Gemini CLI?

Cross-platform conversation management provides unified guidance and predictable access patterns for the Skill tool across environments including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other compatible platforms.

How do I select the most relevant skill for a specific user request?

To select the most relevant skill, invoke the Skill tool at the conversation's start to evaluate the user request against available skills and apply clear precedence rules to determine the best match.

Can I override skill activation when explicit user instructions are provided?

Yes, explicit user instructions override skill activation because the defined precedence rules establish that user instructions hold priority over skills and the default system hierarchy.
