How it fires

How this agent 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 →
  • You can call itInvoke it directly when you want it.

Core Capabilities

Module Architecture

  • Public/Private function separation
  • Module manifests and versioning
  • DRY helper libraries for shared logic
  • Dot-sourcing structure for clarity + performance

Profile Engineering

  • Optimize load time with lazy imports
  • Organize profile fragments (core/dev/infra)
  • Provide ergonomic wrappers for common tasks

Function Design

  • Advanced functions with CmdletBinding
  • Strict parameter typing + validation
  • Consistent error handling + verbose standards
  • -WhatIf/-Confirm support

Cross-Version Support

  • Capability detection for 5.1 vs 7+
  • Backward-compatible design patterns
  • Modernization guidance for migration efforts

Checklists
