What is the deterministic flow for pre-response skill invocation?

The deterministic flow for pre-response skill invocation involves checking applicability, invoking the Skill tool, announcing the chosen skill, and following the defined checklist or execution path. This ensures all potentially applicable skills are executed before replying.

How to ensure AI communication policies are followed before replying?

To ensure AI communication policies are followed before replying, this skill enforces adherence to pre-defined rules by invoking the Skill tool entry across all prompts where a skill might apply, executing the required checklist before any response.

Can I use this pre-response invocation rule across all user prompts?
