Navigator Features Skill
Display and toggle Navigator features with an interactive table. Helps users understand what's enabled and customize their setup.
When to Invoke
Invoke this skill when the user:
- Says "show my features", "navigator features", "what features are enabled"
- Says "enable [feature]", "disable [feature]", "turn on/off [feature]"
- Says "configure navigator", "my navigator settings"
- Asks "what can navigator do?", "what features are available?"
DO NOT invoke if:
- User is asking about project features (not Navigator)
- User is in middle of implementation
- Just starting session (use nav-start instead)
Execution Steps
Step 1: Read Current Configuration
PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/navigator-marketplace/navigator}"
[ -d "$PLUGIN_DIR" ] || PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/navigator-marketplace"
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" show
This displays the feature table (one row per configurable Navigator feature, current version's number in the header):
v<version> Features:
┌─────────────────────────┬────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└─────────────────────────┴────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
All v<version> features configured.
Step 2: Handle Toggle Request (If Applicable)
If user requested to enable/disable a feature:
PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/navigator-marketplace/navigator}"
[ -d "$PLUGIN_DIR" ] || PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/navigator-marketplace"
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" enable task_mode
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-features/functions/feature_manager.py" disable loop_mode
Supported features:
Core (config-toggled):
task_mode - Unified workflow orchestration
tom_features - Theory of Mind (verification checkpoints, profile, diagnostics)
loop_mode - Autonomous loop execution
simplification - Code cleanup before commit
auto_update - Auto-update on session start
knowledge_graph - Unified project knowledge + memories (v6.0.0)
multi_agent - Parallel agent orchestration via nav-multi (v6.0.0)
Hooks (config-toggled, edit with caution):
compact_hook - Pre-compact summary injection
workflow_enforcer_hook - Mandatory WORKFLOW CHECK block (disabling weakens guardrails)
read_guard_hook - Anti upfront-loading guard
workflow_state_hook - Tracks task/phase across the session
task_graph_sync_hook - Auto-syncs tasks into knowledge graph
profile_sync_hook - Auto-captures profile corrections
Install-based:
multi_claude_scripts - External shell scripts (navigator-multi-claude.sh on PATH)
After toggle, show updated table.
Step 3: Explain Feature (If Asked)
If user asks about a specific feature, provide details:
task_mode:
Task Mode (v5.6.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Auto-detects task complexity and routes appropriately:
- Simple tasks → Direct execution
- Skill matches → Defers to skill workflow
- Substantial → Task Mode phases (RESEARCH→COMPLETE)
Config: task_mode.enabled, complexity_threshold (0.5)
tom_features:
Theory of Mind (v5.0.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Human-AI collaboration improvements:
- Verification checkpoints for high-stakes skills
- User profile (nav-profile) - remembers preferences
- Quality detection (nav-diagnose) - catches drift
Config: tom_features.verification_checkpoints, profile_enabled
loop_mode:
Loop Mode (v5.1.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Run until done" capability:
- Structured completion signals (NAVIGATOR_STATUS)
- Dual-condition exit (heuristics + EXIT_SIGNAL)
- Stagnation detection prevents infinite loops
Trigger: "run until done", "loop mode"
Config: loop_mode.enabled, max_iterations (5)
simplification:
Code Simplification (v5.4.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Automatic code clarity improvements:
- Runs post-implementation, before commit
- Clarity over brevity, functionality preserved
- Uses Opus model for best results
Trigger: "simplify this code"
Config: simplification.enabled, trigger, scope
auto_update:
Auto-Update (v5.5.0)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Automatic plugin updates on session start:
- Checks for newer version
- Updates silently if available
- Never blocks session start
Config: auto_update.enabled, check_interval_hours (1)
Predefined Functions
functions/feature_manager.py
Purpose: Display and toggle Navigator features
Usage:
python3 feature_manager.py show
python3 feature_manager.py show --first-session
python3 feature_manager.py enable task_mode
python3 feature_manager.py disable loop_mode
python3 feature_manager.py info task_mode
Output: Formatted feature table or status message
Error Handling
Config not found:
❌ .nav-config.json not found
Run "Initialize Navigator in this project" first.
Unknown feature: lists all available feature names (see Supported features section above). The error message is generated dynamically from the FEATURES dict, so it stays current as features are added.
Success Criteria
Notes
This skill is triggered on first session (via nav-start) to help users understand available features and optionally disable unused ones to save tokens.
