version: "1.0.1" name: solve description: Universal entry point — invoke BEFORE any domain skill to pick the best-matching skill from every skill's frontmatter. NOT for skill authoring (use wisdom). when_to_use: "which skill, what should I use, start of task, before acting, route this request, new task, first message, no skill matched" user-invocable: true

Solve

Triage every incoming message. Internal only — NEVER emit the section headings below or words like "Classification:". Wrap reasoning in <think>…</think>.

1. Classify

Continuation — a follow-up to current work (yes, ok, a correction, a reference to something just discussed). Skip steps 2 and 3: the skills that matched the prior turn still apply until the entity changes.

New task — a distinct request, or the first message in the session. If unsure, treat as new task.

2. Recall (new task only)

• First task of the session: the diary read WISDOM § Continuity

requires.

• The user references prior work, a name you do not recognize, or "what

we decided": /recall-memories <term> — it greps the session transcripts. NEVER answer from diary + memory alone.

3. Dispatch (new task only)

The listing in the system prompt is not the full text: each entry is cut at 1,536 chars, and when the listing overflows its budget the skills with the least recent use show as a bare name. ALWAYS scan the frontmatter from disk:

for d in ~/.claude/skills/*/ "$PWD"/.claude/skills/*/; do
  n=$(basename "$d")
  desc=$(awk 'NR>1 && /^---$/{exit} /^(description|when_to_use):/{f=1; sub(/^[a-z_]*:[[:space:]]*/,""); print; next} f && /^[^ ]/{f=0} f{print}' "$d/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/^[>[:space:]]*//')
  [ -n "$desc" ] && echo "$n: $desc"
done

Match the request against each entry (description + when_to_use):

• One skill matches → read its SKILL.md and follow it.
• Several match → take the one whose NOT for clause does not exclude

this case; a language skill loads beside a workflow skill when both apply.

• None match → say so in <think> and work from the software baseline.

NEVER force the nearest skill.

4. Act

Respond to the user. Apply the matched skill workflows. Do not mention this skill.

A skill reached later by another path — the file-extension hook, the user naming it, a grep — is a skill whose frontmatter lacks the words this request used. ALWAYS reconcile the output with it, then add the missing phrase to its when_to_use (wisdom).
