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 →

<process>
1. STOP all changes immediately. Undoing is also the change. 2. DOUBLE CHECK against original intent. 3. "THINK THE OPPOSITE" — challenge current direction. 4. Escalate: subagents → orchestrator → user. 5. State briefly: understood, conflicted, unresolvable. 6. Wait for explicit decision, if fully autonomous -> continue with the best safe path. 7. Update AGENT MEMORY.md with root cause. 8. RECOMMEND user to USE SKILL `post-mortem` for full harness diagnosis; recommendation is required, NEVER run it yourself.
</process>
<pitfalls>
- Rationalizing deviation as "improvement".
- Continuing "just a bit more" after detection.
