That's a great question! Once you install the skills, they activate automatically based on your prompt.
Here's how it works: each skill has a description with trigger conditions, like "use when designing a GraphQL schema" or "use when writing GraphQL queries." The agent reads these at startup and loads the full instructions whenever it detects a relevant task. So, if you ask it to "design a schema for users and orders," it will automatically pull in the graphql-schema skill.
Some agents, like Claude Code, also support explicit slash commands if you want to invoke a skill directly, but that's not necessary.
Once you install this do you need to like manually tell the AI to use it each time or does it just know to follow the patterns automatically?

This is neat.
