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 →

allowed-tools: ["Bash"]

Run `pad project dashboard --format json`. Before presenting results, handle these two failure modes:

  • `pad` CLI missing (command not found): say so and point at https://getpad.dev/install.

Don't retry or guess at alternate paths.

  • No `.pad.toml` found in the directory tree: say this project isn't linked to a Pad

workspace yet and suggest `/pad:onboard`.

If the response's `needs_onboarding` field is true, lead with the same active offer the main skill uses — before anything else: "This workspace is brand new and isn't set up yet. Want me to set it up? I'll ask a few quick questions and adapt it to your project." This is an offer, not an auto-run; mention `/pad:onboard` as the shortcut for later.

Otherwise, present it conversationally: collection summaries, active plan progress, attention items (stalled/overdue), and suggested next actions.

**Connection header (show this first, above the dashboard).** Also run `pad session status --format json` and lead with a one-line connection state, so a user who types `/pad:status` after reading the push docs sees whether this session is wired to Pad's live stream:

  • `announced_armed` true → "Set to accept pushes (armed)." `announced_armed` means

consent is on, NOT that a monitor is connected — so only add a live claim from the server: if `server_reachable` is true, "server sees `accepting_sessions` of `connected_sessions` sessions accepting pushes"; if false, "(server not reachable)".

  • `local_state` is `disarmed` **and** `auto_arm` is true → "Disconnected this session

(auto_arm will re-arm the next session)."

  • `local_state` is `error` → "Local push state unreadable — failing closed; run

`/pad:connect` to reset."

  • `local_state` is `unverifiable` → "This session can't be verified on this platform, so

a local connect can't take effect — use `push.auto_arm` in `.pad.toml`; `pad session reset` clears the local override."

  • otherwise not accepting → "Not accepting pushes — run `/pad:connect` to receive them

here."

Keep it to one line; it's a header, not the main event. If `pad session status` fails (e.g. padd unreachable), skip the header rather than blocking the dashboard.
