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 →

<skill> <context_order> 1. `.grace/context/*.xml` for requirements, technology, principles, deployment, and UX constraints. 2. `.grace/graph/index.xml` then routed graph documents for `M-*` and `DF-*` ownership. 3. `.grace/verification/index.xml` then routed verification documents for `V-M-*` coverage. 4. `.grace/changes/active/C-*` for in-flight approved or draft work. 5. File-local `MODULE_CONTRACT`, `MODULE_MAP`, `LINKS:`, `START_CONTRACT`, and `START_BLOCK_` anchors. </context_order>
<answer_rules>
- Cite the artifact or anchor that supports each important claim.
- Distinguish durable current state from active change intent.
- If legacy GRACE 3 docs are present, explain that they require `grace-migrate` and are not GRACE 4 truth.
- Do not invent missing graph or verification facts; report uncertainty and the safest next lookup.
</answer_rules> </skill>
GRACE means Graph-RAG Anchored Code Engineering: a contract-first AI engineering methodology built around semantic markup, .grace XML artifacts, knowledge-graph navigation, assertions, scopes, and log-driven verification.
