> I'm a bit of a control freak so I'll usually explicitly direct claude to "load the wireframe-skill" and then do X.

You shouldn't do this, it's generally considered bad practice.

You should be optimizing your skill description. Often times if I am working with Claude Code and it doesn't load I skill, I ask it why it missed the skill. It will guide me to improving the skill description so that it is picked up properly next time.

This iteration on skill description has allowed skills to stay out of context until they are needed rather predictably for me so far.


There are different ways to use the tool. If you chat with the model, you want it to naturally pick the right tool to use based on vibes and context so you don’t have to repeat yourself. If you are plugging a call it Claude code within a larger, structured workflow, you want the tool selection to be deterministic.
It's not enough. Sometimes skills just randomly won't be invoked.
