FAQPage Schema

Mandate skill invocation whenever any possibility of applicability exists, ensuring the system checks and applies relevant skills before generating any reply to maintain conversational safety and correct behavior.

What is mandatory skill invocation for conversational flow safety?

Mandatory skill invocation requires checking and applying a skill whenever there is a possibility it fits the user query. This mechanism ensures consistent, safe responses by loading the corresponding SKILL.md before replying.

How do I load a specific skill using view_file for prompt engineering?

Use environments that support view_file-based skill loading. This provides a unified cross-platform approach for discovering relevant skills and loading the corresponding SKILL.md files before crafting any reply.

Do I need to announce the loaded skill before continuing with the reply?

Yes, the functional requirements state that announcing the loaded skill before continuing is mandatory. This happens immediately after loading the SKILL.md file via view_file and before generating the actual response.

What are the limitations of using a single view_file approach for skill discovery?

The view_file approach relies on a specific directory structure (.agent/skills/) and requires frontmatter with name and description. It is limited to environments supporting this file loading method and does not support dynamic skill injection.
