Auto-activate for litestar_autowire, AutowirePlugin, AutowireConfig, domain_packages, AutowireIntegration, AutowireLoader, clear_autowire_cache, or automatic controller/listener/task discovery. Not for manual Router composition — keep explicit wiring when discovery adds no value.

Auto-activate for litestar_htmx, HTMXPlugin, HTMXConfig, HTMXRequest, HTMXTemplate, HXLocation, ReplaceUrl, TriggerEvent, HX-* headers, or Litestar partial HTML. Not for generic browser-side HTMX or Litestar Vite JSON templating — those are client concerns.

Auto-activate for test_*.py, conftest.py, litestar.testing, TestClient, AsyncTestClient, create_test_client, create_async_test_client, anyio, Guard mocks, DI overrides, or handler tests. Not for generic pytest.

Auto-activate for litestar_vite, VitePlugin, ViteConfig, PathConfig, RuntimeConfig, TypeGenConfig, InertiaConfig, vite.config.ts, HMR, typegen, assets, or modes. Not for plain Vite.

Auto-activate for msgspec, Struct, Meta, msgspec.json, msgspec.msgpack, tagged unions, enc_hook, dec_hook, convert(), or Litestar DTO shapes. Not for Pydantic or ORM models — use their stack-specific skill.
