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 →

license: Apache-2.0
metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [root]
  auto_invoke:
    - "After creating/modifying a skill"
    - "Regenerate AGENTS.md Auto-invoke tables (sync.sh)"
    - "Troubleshoot why a skill is missing from AGENTS.md auto-invoke"
allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash

Purpose

Keeps AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections in sync with skill metadata. When you create or modify a skill, run the sync script to automatically update all affected AGENTS.md files.

Required Skill Metadata

Each skill that should appear in Auto-invoke sections needs these fields in `metadata`.

`auto_invoke` can be either a single string **or** a list of actions:

metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]                                    # Which AGENTS.md: ui, api, sdk, root

  # Option A: single action
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying components"

  # Option B: multiple actions
  # auto_invoke:
  #   - "Creating/modifying components"
  #   - "Refactoring component folder placement"

Scope Values

| Scope | Updates | |-------|---------| | `root` | `AGENTS.md` (repo root) | | `ui` | `ui/AGENTS.md` | | `api` | `api/AGENTS.md` | | `sdk` | `prowler/AGENTS.md` | | `mcp_server` | `mcp_server/AGENTS.md` |

Skills can have multiple scopes: `scope: [ui, api]`

Usage

After Creating/Modifying a Skill

./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

What It Does

1. Reads all `skills/*/SKILL.md` files 2. Extracts `metadata.scope` and `metadata.auto_invoke` 3. Generates Auto-invoke tables for each AGENTS.md 4. Updates the `### Auto-invoke Skills` section in each file

---

Example

Given this skill metadata:

# skills/prowler-ui/SKILL.md
metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying React components"

The sync script generates in `ui/AGENTS.md`:

### Auto-invoke Skills

When performing these actions, ALWAYS invoke the corresponding skill FIRST:

| Action | Skill |
|--------|-------|
| Creating/modifying React components | `prowler-ui` |

---

Commands

# Sync all AGENTS.md files
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

# Dry run (show what would change)
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --dry-run

# Sync specific scope only
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --scope ui

---

Checklist After Modifying Skills

  • [ ] Added `metadata.scope` to new/modified skill
  • [ ] Added `metadata.auto_invoke` with action description
  • [ ] Ran `./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh`
  • [ ] Verified AGENTS.md files updated correctly
