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 →

**Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**
Implementation Guidelines
Data Storage
- **Secrets**: NEVER store API keys in code. Use `EncryptedSharedPreferences` for sensitive local data (Tokens).
- **Keystore**: Use Android Keystore System for cryptographic keys.
Network
- **HTTPS**: Enforce HTTPS via `network_security_config.xml` (`cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"`).
- **Pinning**: Consider Certificate Pinning for high-security apps.
Component Export
- **Exported**: Explicitly set `android:exported="false"` for Activities/Receivers unless intended for external use.
Anti-Patterns
- **No Sensitive Logs**: Strip logs in Release builds.
- **No Homebrew Root Detection**: Use Play Integrity API instead.
- **No Raw URL String Concatenation**: Use `Uri.Builder` or `HttpUrl` (OkHttp) to prevent parameter injection.
