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 →

Connect to Well

Run this right after installing the Well plugin, or whenever the Well tools aren't responding. Walk the user through it conversationally — do not dump all steps at once if a step is already done.

1. Confirm the MCP server is registered

Installing the plugin auto-adds the `well` MCP server (it is bundled in the plugin manifest). If the user just installed it, make sure it's active:

  • Tell them to run `/reload-plugins` if they haven't since installing.
  • The server should now appear when they run `/mcp`.

2. Authenticate (one time, browser sign-in — no API key)

The Well MCP uses OAuth, so the first connection needs a one-time sign-in:

> Run `/mcp`, select **well**, and choose **Authenticate**. A browser opens — sign in to your Well account and approve. No API key, no config.

If `/mcp` shows **well** as already authenticated, skip this.

3. Verify it works

Call `well_get_schema` (no arguments) to confirm the connection is live. If it returns the list of roots (companies, invoices, transactions, ledger_accounts, …), the connection is working — tell the user "Connected ✓, N data types available."

If it returns an auth error, send them back to step 2. If it returns a server error on the heavy roots, the connection is fine but the workspace data path may be temporarily unavailable — say so rather than implying the setup failed.

4. Show what to ask

Once connected, offer 3 concrete starting prompts so the user gets value immediately:

  • "Summarize last month's cash flow"
  • "List my unpaid invoices over €5,000"
  • "Build my compte de résultat for the last quarter"

Mention the deeper skills are available too: `/well:reconciliation`, `/well:vat-summary`, `/well:ar-aging`, `/well:month-end-close`, `/well:compte-de-resultat`, `/well:balance-sheet`, `/well:cash-flow-forecast`.

Note on billing

Tool calls use Well credits, billed to the workspace plan. Mention this once if the user asks about cost — do not interrupt every call.
