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 →

spk-start-agent-surface
Use this skill when the question is about where Spec Kitty works, how commands or skills appear in a specific agent, or why behavior differs by surface.
Checks
1. Identify the surface: command line, Codex, Claude Code, slash-command host, or command-skill host. 2. Check whether slash commands, skills, and local filesystem access are available in that surface. 3. If commands are missing, route to `spk-admin-setup-doctor`. 4. If the user needs compatibility research, use the legacy `spec-kitty-agent-surface-research` skill when installed.
Guidance
- Prefer local CLI workflows when the surface can read/write the repo.
- Prefer command skills for slash-command execution.
- Prefer `spk-*` skills for explanation, recovery, and orchestration.
- Do not assume cloud-hosted agents can access local `.kittify/`, `kitty-specs/`,
or `.worktrees/` paths.
