High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce LLM skill invocation before generating a response?▼

To enforce LLM skill invocation before a response, this skill intercepts the conversation start and requires an explicit Skill tool check to load the SKILL.md entry point, ensuring skill-driven guidance is loaded before answering.

What is mandatory skill tool checking for LLM conversations?▼

Mandatory skill tool checking is a workflow mechanism that intercepts initial prompts and clarifying questions, requiring the system to load appropriate skill guidance from SKILL.md before generating any user-visible response to reduce misalignment.

Do I need a specific tool available to enforce prompt control at the start of a conversation?▼

Yes, you need the Skill tool to be available in your environment to enforce prompt control, as the mechanism relies on invoking this tool to load the SKILL.md content and activate the correct skill flow before responding.

When should I use mandatory skill checks for LLM prompt control?▼

You should use mandatory skill checks when you want to ensure consistent skill-driven context across tasks, applying the check at the start of any conversation and for clarifying questions even if there is only a 1% applicability chance.

What are the limitations of enforcing immediate skill invocation in LLM workflows?▼

The main limitation is that it prevents responses entirely until the correct skill flow is activated, meaning the Skill tool must be present and the SKILL.md entry point must be successfully loaded to proceed with any conversation.
