FAQPage Schema

How do I force AI to invoke skills before responding to a user prompt?▼

To force AI skill invocation before responding, use a workflow that requires immediate tool execution at the start of every new conversation. This skill enforces that behavior by loading applicable instructions before any text is generated.

What is the best way to standardize AI onboarding for new chat sessions?▼

Standardizing AI onboarding requires applying a consistent workflow that determines applicable skills and loads their instructions from the first turn. This approach guarantees the agent adheres to skill-driven rules immediately.

How does an AI workflow load instructions from a YAML frontmatter format?▼

The AI workflow reads YAML frontmatter containing a defined name and description to identify and load applicable skills. It uses this metadata to guide behavior from analysis to execution before responding.

Can I use optional components directories to extend AI behavior in a workflow?▼

Yes, you can extend AI behavior by using optional components directories alongside the required YAML frontmatter. This allows you to load additional instructions and apply them within the defined workflow.

Why does an AI agent ignore skill instructions at the start of a new conversation?▼

An AI agent may ignore instructions if skill invocation is not strictly enforced before its initial response. Applying a mandatory workflow ensures the agent loads and follows the defined rules from the first turn.
