SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This asset defines a universal protocol for discovering and using skills, ensuring the AI invokes the Skill tool before responding and clarifying when needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a standardized activation flow across platforms (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and others).
  • Priority rules ensure user directives take precedence while Skill-driven policies guide behavior when necessary.
  • Provides clear access patterns for platforms, including how to load and activate skills and manage platform-specific tool mappings.

Quick Start

Begin every conversation by activating this skill to establish how to locate and use other skills and to ensure Skill tool invocation before any response.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a universal AI agent skill activation protocol across multiple platforms?

A universal skill activation protocol ensures any AI interaction begins with the correct Skill tool invocation before responding. It defines a standardized activation flow across multi-platform environments like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and OpenCode.

What happens when user directives conflict with AI skill behavior during tool invocation?

When conflicts arise during tool invocation, priority rules ensure user directives take precedence over skill behavior. Skill-driven policies will guide behavior only when explicit user directives are absent.

How do I standardize skill discovery and tool invocation for multi-platform AI workflows?

You standardize skill discovery by defining a protocol that forces the AI to invoke the Skill tool before responding, applying clear access patterns and platform-specific tool mappings across your workflow.

Does the universal skill activation protocol work with Claude Code and Gemini CLI?

Yes, the universal skill activation protocol works across platforms including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and OpenCode. It provides clear access patterns to load and activate skills while managing platform-specific tool mappings.

What are the safety constraints and governance considerations for AI agent skill activation?

Safety constraints and governance considerations specify required frontmatter, manage optional resources, and define safety boundaries to ensure the AI agent operates within established governance frameworks during skill activation.
