FAQPage Schema

What is the best way to prioritize user instructions and safety guards in an AI conversation?▼

To prioritize AI-assistant instructions, a workflow selects and applies relevant Skills first, establishing a decision process that respects tool invocation rules, safety guards, and Skill-driven overrides before generating any output.

Do I need to define frontmatter requirements to load skills across different platforms?▼

Defining frontmatter requirements and cross-platform loading rules is necessary to ensure Skills are correctly loaded and executed, maintaining safety constraints and instruction priority across different environments.

What happens if I ask an AI assistant a clarifying question before checking for applicable skills?▼

Asking a clarifying question before checking skills violates the enforced tool invocation rule, which mandates that the Skill tool must be consulted and applied first to ensure safety constraints are respected.

Why does my AI assistant ignore safety constraints during cross-platform skill execution?▼

Safety constraints are ignored during cross-platform skill execution when frontmatter requirements and loading rules are not properly defined, bypassing the mandatory Skill consultation needed to prioritize safety guards.
