SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Establishes a consistent rule set to surface and apply relevant skills before any AI response, ensuring the Skill tool is used when appropriate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight skill surfacing: automatically identifies when a Skill may apply and loads its guidance prior to answering.
  • Priority adherence: respects user instructions above Skill-driven behavior and resolves conflicts with default system prompts.
  • Safe and auditable execution: promotes transparent Skill usage and references when necessary to justify actions.

Quick Start

Check for applicable skills at the start of every task and follow their guidance before replying.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I discover and invoke applicable skills before generating an AI response?

Preflight skill surfacing identifies relevant skills and loads their guidance using the Skill tool before any AI response is generated. This workflow ensures applicable skills are discovered, validated, and invoked during conversations and task requests.

What is instruction priority when applying workflow skills to AI conversations?

Instruction priority means user instructions take precedence over skill-driven behavior and default system prompts. The workflow resolves conflicts by enforcing user-instruction precedence, ensuring user directives always override automated skill actions.

How do I validate skill frontmatter before loading content in a workflow?

Frontmatter validation checks skill metadata before loading content via the Skill tool. This preflight step ensures safe, auditable execution and transparent skill usage by verifying the skill's structure before its guidance is applied to the response.

Can I use preflight clarifications to improve AI safety during task requests?

Preflight clarifications improve AI safety by applying relevant skills across conversations and task requests before producing any output. This transparent approach justifies actions through references and enforces safe, auditable skill execution throughout the interaction.

When should I not use automated skill invocation in my workflow?

Automated skill invocation should not be used when user instructions explicitly conflict with skill behavior or when no relevant skills apply. The workflow respects user-instruction precedence and only loads guidance when genuinely necessary for the task.
