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 →

- Shell = frontmatter + single ACQUIRE instruction, zero inline logic
- No absolute paths in generated shells
</core_concepts>
<process>
Internal knowledge about IDE/agent shell configuration is obsolete — LIST and ACQUIRE from KB.
Step 1: Identify Environment
1. LIST `configure` IN KB (to understand supported IDE/CodingAgents) 2. Detect current environment, preselect IDE/CodingAgent 3. MUST ask user to confirm selection and provide multi-choose 4. ACQUIRE <selected configs using TAG> FROM KB 5. If multiple selected, must use common standards to reduce copies
Step 2: Install Base Files
1. ACQUIRE `skills/load-context/SKILL.md` FROM KB — install as SKILL 2. ACQUIRE `rules/bootstrap.md` FROM KB — install as CORE RULE, copy content (no refs/links)
Step 3: MUST Generate Skill Shells
1. LIST `skills` IN KB with XML format 2. ACQUIRE `skill-shell.md` FROM KB 3. Create all skill shells, reuse frontmatter from listing 4. Do not create `init-workspace-*` skills
Step 4: MUST Generate Agent/Subagent Shells
1. LIST `agents` IN KB with XML format 2. ACQUIRE `agent-shell.md` FROM KB 3. Create all agent/subagent shells, reuse frontmatter from listing
Step 5: MUST Generate Workflow/Command Shells
1. LIST `workflows` IN KB with XML format 2. ACQUIRE `workflow-shell.md` FROM KB 3. Create all workflow/command shells, reuse frontmatter from listing 4. Do not create `init-workspace-*` workflows and its phases
Step 6: Verify Shell Integrity
1. Diff each file against its shell schema — zero structural deviations 2. Verify: every file has ACQUIRE, no conditional logic/loops/inline instructions, all paths resolve 3. HITL: present results, confirm with user
</process>
<validation_checklist>
- Every generated file: frontmatter + ACQUIRE only, zero inline logic
- All paths resolve, extensions match IDE config
- User confirmed verification results
</validation_checklist>
