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.

Sync
Synchronize Cortex TMS task files and documentation.
Steps
1. **Read current state** — check NEXT-TASKS.md, FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, package.json 2. **Update NEXT-TASKS.md** — mark completed items, remove stale tasks, add new items if discussed 3. **Update FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md** — sync status markers (Planned/In Progress/Complete) 4. **Truth-sync source-of-truth files** — ensure README, CHANGELOG reflect what actually shipped 5. **Archive if needed** — move completed sprint content to docs/archive/ 6. **Run validation** — `node bin/cortex-tms.js validate --strict` to confirm health 7. **Show changes** — run git diff and present for approval. Do not commit without approval.
Rules
- Do not modify src/, bin/, templates/, or any code files
- Follow the Propose/Justify/Recommend framework for any non-obvious changes
- If unsure whether something should be archived or updated, ask the user
