Enforcing mandatory skill discovery workflows involves requiring the AI to list available skills, check for matches, and read the skill file before responding. This structured approach ensures brainstorming happens before coding and creates actionable TodoWrite checklists.

The best way to ensure brainstorming before coding is to apply a process-enforcement skill workflow at the start of every chat. This mandates checking for matching skills and following a structured brainstorming phase prior to any code execution.

You can create TodoWrite checklists automatically by integrating a skill-workflow that enforces task tracking. The skill requires generating TodoWrite todos for each checklist item to ensure follow-through on announced actions and execution steps.

Yes, process-enforcement can mandate using the Skill tool at the start of a chat. The workflow requires listing available skills, checking for task matches, and executing the relevant skill file before the AI responds or announces its plan.

Limitations of a mandatory skill-workflow include its rigid structure, which enforces brainstorming and TodoWrite checklist creation for every task. This process-enforcement approach may add overhead to simple queries where immediate execution is preferred over structured discovery.
