- 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 →

Tdd With Phpunit (Symfony)
Use when
- Building regression-safe behavior with TDD/functional/e2e tests.
- Converting bug reports into executable failing tests.
Default workflow
1. Write failing test for target behavior and one boundary case. 2. Implement minimal code to pass. 3. Refactor while preserving green suite. 4. Broaden coverage for invalid/unauthorized/not-found paths.
Guardrails
- Prefer deterministic fixtures/builders.
- Assert observable behavior, not internal implementation.
- Keep tests isolated and stable in CI.
Progressive disclosure
- Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
- Open references when deep implementation details are needed.
Output contract
- RED/GREEN/REFACTOR trace.
- Test files changed and executed commands.
- Coverage and confidence notes.
References
- `reference.md`
- `docs/complexity-tiers.md`
