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 →

Quick Plan — Plan Mode with Standards Enforcement

This works exactly like Claude Code's built-in plan mode, with one addition: the resulting plan must discover and enforce the project's coding standards from `.maister/docs/`.

Workflow

1. **Get the task** — Use the argument if provided. If none, ask with `ask_user`: "What would you like to plan?"

2. **Enter plan mode** — Call `EnterPlanMode` and let plan mode run exactly as it normally does (explore the codebase, design the approach, write the plan, then `ExitPlanMode` for approval). Do not redefine its phases.

3. **Discover and enforce standards (the addition)** — While planning:

  • Read `.maister/docs/INDEX.md` to find which standards exist.
  • **Then read the specific standard files it points to that are relevant to this task.** Reading INDEX.md alone is NOT sufficient — this is mandatory.
  • Fold the matched standards into the plan itself: reference the governing standard where it shapes a step, and include a **`## Standards Compliance Checklist`** — one checkbox per applicable guideline the implementation must satisfy (each annotated with its source file, e.g. `(from standards/backend/api.md)`). This checklist is verified after implementation.

If `.maister/docs/INDEX.md` does not exist, plan normally and note in the plan: "No Maister standards found. Consider running `/maister-init`."

Do not call `ExitPlanMode` until the plan reflects the applicable standards and includes the Standards Compliance Checklist (or the "no standards found" note).

4. **After approval — implement and verify (mandatory)** — Once the plan is approved and you implement it, go through the `## Standards Compliance Checklist` and verify each item — mark pass/fail and report it. Address any failure before marking the task complete.
