How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Navigator Features Skill

Display and toggle Navigator features with an interactive table. Helps users understand what's enabled and customize their setup.

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when the user:

  • Says "show my features", "navigator features", "what features are enabled"
  • Says "enable [feature]", "disable [feature]", "turn on/off [feature]"
  • Says "configure navigator", "my navigator settings"
  • Asks "what can navigator do?", "what features are available?"

**DO NOT invoke** if:

  • User is asking about project features (not Navigator)
  • User is in middle of implementation
  • Just starting session (use nav-start instead)

Execution Steps

Step 1: Read Current Configuration

PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/navigator-marketplace/navigator}"
[ -d "$PLUGIN_DIR" ] || PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/navigator-marketplace"
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" show

This displays the feature table (one row per configurable Navigator feature, current version's number in the header):

v<version> Features:

All v<version> features configured.

Step 2: Handle Toggle Request (If Applicable)

If user requested to enable/disable a feature:

PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/navigator-marketplace/navigator}"
[ -d "$PLUGIN_DIR" ] || PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/navigator-marketplace"
# Enable a feature
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" enable task_mode

# Disable a feature
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" disable loop_mode

**Supported features**:

Core (config-toggled):

  • `task_mode` - Unified workflow orchestration
  • `tom_features` - Theory of Mind (verification checkpoints, profile, diagnostics)
  • `loop_mode` - Autonomous loop execution
  • `simplification` - Code cleanup before commit
  • `auto_update` - Auto-update on session start
  • `knowledge_graph` - Unified project knowledge + memories (v6.0.0)
  • `multi_agent` - Parallel agent orchestration via `nav-multi` (v6.0.0)

Hooks (config-toggled, edit with caution):

  • `compact_hook` - Pre-compact summary injection
  • `workflow_enforcer_hook` - Mandatory WORKFLOW CHECK block (disabling weakens guardrails)
  • `read_guard_hook` - Anti upfront-loading guard
  • `workflow_state_hook` - Tracks task/phase across the session
  • `task_graph_sync_hook` - Auto-syncs tasks into knowledge graph
  • `profile_sync_hook` - Auto-captures profile corrections

Install-based:

  • `multi_claude_scripts` - External shell scripts (`navigator-multi-claude.sh` on PATH)

**After toggle, show updated table**.

Step 3: Explain Feature (If Asked)

If user asks about a specific feature, provide details:

**task_mode**:

Task Mode (v5.6.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Auto-detects task complexity and routes appropriately:
- Simple tasks → Direct execution
- Skill matches → Defers to skill workflow
- Substantial → Task Mode phases (RESEARCH→COMPLETE)

Config: task_mode.enabled, complexity_threshold (0.5)

**tom_features**:

Theory of Mind (v5.0.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Human-AI collaboration improvements:
- Verification checkpoints for high-stakes skills
- User profile (nav-profile) - remembers preferences
- Quality detection (nav-diagnose) - catches drift

Config: tom_features.verification_checkpoints, profile_enabled

**loop_mode**:

Loop Mode (v5.1.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Run until done" capability:
- Structured completion signals (NAVIGATOR_STATUS)
- Dual-condition exit (heuristics + EXIT_SIGNAL)
- Stagnation detection prevents infinite loops

Trigger: "run until done", "loop mode"
Config: loop_mode.enabled, max_iterations (5)

**simplification**:

Code Simplification (v5.4.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Automatic code clarity improvements:
- Runs post-implementation, before commit
- Clarity over brevity, functionality preserved
- Uses Opus model for best results

Trigger: "simplify this code"
Config: simplification.enabled, trigger, scope

**auto_update**:
