IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

Getting Started with Skills

MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL

Before responding to ANY user message, you MUST complete this checklist:

1. ☐ List to yourself ALL available skills (shown in your system context)
2. ☐ Ask yourself: "Does ANY available skill match this request?"
3. ☐ If yes: use the Skill tool to invoke the skill and follow the skill exactly.

Responding WITHOUT completing this checklist = automatic failure.
