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> <core_model> GRACE 4 uses `.grace` as the durable project model:
- `.grace/context` stores requirements, technology, principles, deployment, and UX constraints.
- `.grace/graph` stores graph indexes and routed graph documents with `GD-*`, `M-*`, and `DF-*` tags.
- `.grace/verification` stores verification indexes and routed `V-M-*` entries.
- `.grace/changes` stores active and archived `C-*` change bundles with `GraceChangeSpec`, optional non-normative design context, and `GraceChangePlan`.
</core_model>
<workflow> 1. `grace-init` creates the `.grace` skeleton. 2. `grace-spec` creates an active change spec and waits for approval. 3. `grace-plan` creates assertions, scopes, and `T-*` implementation tasks. 4. `grace-execute` runs sequential or parallel-safe mode from the approved plan. 5. `grace lint` and `grace status` provide validation and health evidence. 6. Existing GRACE 3 projects use `grace-migrate`; the CLI validates the result but does not convert legacy docs directly. </workflow> </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.
