To invoke skills in CodeBuddy, begin any conversation by triggering the skill evaluation process to identify and apply relevant skills before taking action, ensuring appropriate guidelines are followed for the specific task.

Skill invocation should be used before any response or action, even if there is only a one percent chance the skill might apply to your task management workflow, ensuring no relevant capabilities are overlooked.

Process skills should be prioritized over implementation skills by following the established priority order, which guides users to focus on workflow procedures first before executing specific technical implementations.

Common red flags include rationalizations that lead to overlooking relevant skills, such as assuming a skill does not apply without checking, which disrupts the skill invocation process and workflow efficiency.

CodeBuddy differentiates between rigid and flexible skill types, where rigid skills require strict adherence to specific guidelines while flexible skills allow more adaptive application depending on the task context.

Skill invocation focuses on what to do rather than how to do it because user instructions within the skill guide are designed to direct the user on the correct actions, leaving implementation details to the execution phase.
