Using skills

Skills exist for common workflows (brainstorming, TDD, debugging, plan writing, code review). Prefer one when it clearly fits the task at hand; read it before acting, then follow or adapt it with judgment. You decide whether a skill applies - there is no mandatory pre-check and no penalty for working without one. The user's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, a direct request, or an explicit /skill-name) always win over any skill. When two skills overlap, pick the one that determines HOW to approach the work (process) before the one that guides execution.
