How it fires

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 →

description: Template/example skill showing the minimal structure. Replace or delete it. Use as a starting point when you want to capture a repeatable workflow as a skill.
compatibility: Designed for coding agents that implement the Agent Skills specification.

Example Skill

This is a working but trivial skill, here to show the shape. Copy this folder, rename it, and rewrite the body with your real workflow.

When this fires

The agent loads this when the task matches the `description` above, or when you invoke it using the client's supported skill syntax. Keep the description precise — it's the only thing the agent matches on.

Steps

1. State the goal in one line. 2. Do the work, following the project's `core/` rules (verify before done, no secrets, etc.). 3. Report the outcome with evidence.

Notes

  • Put supporting files (scripts, references, longer instructions) next to this `SKILL.md`;

they load only when referenced (progressive disclosure — keeps context lean).

  • Delete this example once you've added your own skills.

Proof before done. Move from vibe coding to agentic engineering. Give Claude Code or Codex your project rules, a definition of done, and checks that produce evidence.
