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 →

<objective> Walk the user through a phase's acceptance criteria one item at a time, recording pass/fail/skip in a persistent .planning/phases/<N>/UAT.md. Results survive /clear and session ends - re-run to resume at the first untested item. Failures are diagnosed and routed through the normal Cadence flow (user-approved atomic fix commit, or /cad-plan for phase-sized gaps) - no internal auto-fixer loop. `--sweep` scans every phase's UAT file and reports what is still outstanding. `--deep` spawns cad-verifier for a goal-backward check of what the code actually delivers. </objective>

<process> Execute end-to-end. </process>

Appearance is cheap. Verification is the work. Cadence is for developers using Claude Code on software they will still own after the session ends. Claude can write a convincing plan, produce working code, and tell you the job is finished.
