The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
"If a skill exists for your task, you MUST use it. No exceptions. No rationalizations."
Skills encode proven solutions. Ignoring them means repeating solved problems.
Before ANY action, complete this mental checklist:
□ What skills might apply here?
□ Have I checked the skill registry?
□ Did I read the CURRENT version (not memory)?
□ Am I following it exactly?
If a relevant skill exists → USE IT.
"I'm using [Skill Name] to [what you're doing]."
If a skill has a checklist → Create todos for EACH item. Don't work through checklists mentally. Track them.
User says "Fix X" → That's the WHAT, not the HOW. Still follow brainstorming, TDD, verification workflows.
