Using Skills

Skills are specialized workflows that improve quality for specific task types. Use them when they apply - don't skip them by rationalizing, but also don't invoke them ritualistically.

When to Load a Skill

DO load skills when:

• Starting a complex or multi-step task
• The task clearly matches a skill's description (code review, debugging, planning, etc.)
• You're unsure how to approach something and a skill might help
• The user explicitly requests a skill-based workflow

DON'T load skills when:

• Answering simple questions or having conversation
• Doing trivial file reads or small edits
• The task is straightforward and no skill adds value
• You already know the skill's content from this session
