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 →

Local runtimes

Cloud implementers write code directly. A local runtime is optional and only pays for narrow mechanical or offline jobs; never let it review its own diff. Pick one row, then open only that route.

| Need | Route | Open | | --- | --- | --- | | Which model size fits this machine | hardware probe | [local-coding-delegate](references/local-coding-delegate.md) | | Already READY loopback server (Ollama, LM Studio, llamacpp) | loopback | [local-openai-compat](references/local-openai-compat.md) | | Standalone FreeToken process | FreeToken | [freetoken](references/freetoken.md) | | Frontier MoE through disk/RAM/VRAM tiers | Colibri | [colibri](references/colibri.md) | | OmniRoute runner with delegate continuity | OmniRoute | [omniroute](references/omniroute.md) | | Local agents (OpenCode / OSS agency) | agency | [local-agency](../local-agency/SKILL.md) |

FreeToken and Colibri share the [loopback runtime contract](references/loopback-runtime-contract.md).

Rules:

  • A runtime is used only when its READY probe passes; otherwise stay on the

cloud implementer and record `local: skipped(<reason>)` once.

  • One-shot jobs only: one short spec in, one digest out. No parent relay.
  • Avoided-spend metering and USD/EGP lines are required only when a local

inference channel was actually used ([process owner](../../references/process-owner-scrum-master.md)).

  • Descriptions, paths and host exposure live in the

[catalog](../../references/catalog.md).
