Using Agent Skills

Problem

When tasks move across requirement clarification, implementation, and review feedback, engineers need the process guidance that matches the current phase. If all workflow rules are given to a model at once, the context becomes noisy and the answer may miss phase-critical behavioral constraints. Using Agent Skills addresses routing: first identify the development phase of the task, then select the corresponding Agent Skill.

How It Works

It behaves more like a phase navigation layer than a complete engineering framework. The core path is to read the current task goal, inputs, and constraints, map them to a development phase, apply the matching process instructions, and keep cross-phase core behaviors in scope. In practice, describe the task state and acceptance goals first, then ask which phase and skill should be used and what additional context is needed.

Boundaries

It depends on an existing set of phase-based Agent Skills. If a matching sub-skill is missing, it can only provide general engineering advice. It does not itself implement code, testing, or deployment actions, and it should not be treated as a fixed automated pipeline.
