| description | MANDATORY before code changes, debugging, planning, or multi-step implementation in ANY repository. Discover skills via grok inspect, Read every SKILL.md whose description matches the task, then use tools. Hooks block mutating tools until at least one catalog skill was Read. superpowers skills ship bundled in oh-my-grok (vendor/superpowers/skills).

Agent Skill Gate
When this applies
Every Grok Composer session where you might call grep, Read (for implementation context),
Write, StrReplace, Shell (mutating), or delegate task() for implementation.
Workflow
- Trust the skill catalog from
grok inspect, SessionStart, or UserPromptSubmit <AGENT_SKILL_GATE_PROACTIVE> (paths matched to the message).
- For the user's request, list which catalog skills plausibly apply (by description).
Read each applicable skill file before other tools (Grok Composer has no Skill tool; ignore superpowers text that says otherwise).- If the prompt shows
<skill_information>, treat it as hints only — still Read full SKILL.md content.
- Say
Using <name> to <purpose> for each skill loaded.
- Only then run mutating or broad search tools.
Hook enforcement
The oh-my-grok plugin (grok plugin install github:mihazs/oh-my-grok --trust) registers
hooks via hooks/hooks.json. They deny mutating tools when the catalog is non-empty and
no skill was Read yet. Satisfy the gate by Reading any applicable catalog entry, or this
meta-skill file (path from grok inspect).
Rules reference
Bundled at rules/00-agent-skill-gate.md inside the oh-my-grok plugin install directory.
