Skills Policy

Invoke via Skill tool

If a skill exists, invoke it with Skill(skill: "name"). Skills in .claude/skills/ are discovered automatically.

Don't paste SKILL.md content

Never read SKILL.md files manually or paste their content into Agent prompts. The Skill tool is the only correct entry point.

Background skills

Spawn Agent with run_in_background: true and instruct it to invoke the skill via the Skill tool inside the sub-agent.

No improvising

The skill has a defined process. Follow it. Don't paraphrase steps, don't reorder steps, don't skip steps.
