Using Agent Skills

Overview

This is the meta-skill for discovering and invoking the right skill, command, or agent for any task. It includes a decision tree for task-to-skill mapping and core operating behaviors that all agents should follow.

When to Use

  • Starting a new session and unsure which skill applies
  • Task doesn't clearly match a single skill
  • Need to understand the full capability landscape
  • Debugging why an agent isn't following expected workflows
