Skill instructions
<required CRITICAL: Whenever you are using a skill, add the following to your Todo list using TodoWrite: 1. Use Read tool to read the skill. 2. If the skill is relevant, announce you are using the skill. 3. Create TodoWrite todos for checklists. </required Common Failure Modes: AVOID 1. Don't rationalize. Always read the current skill. <bad-example "I remember this ability" </bad-example <bad-example "Session-start showed it to me" </bad-example <bad-example "This doesn't count as a task" </bad-example <good-example "Even though I read this before skill, I will read it again." </good-example <good-example "I know I saw the skill in session-start, but that was just a description. I will read the full thing." </good-example 2. Do not skip using TodoWrite. Always create TodoWrite todos for checklists. <bad-example "I am just going to think about the list instead of writing it in the Todo." </bad-example <bad-example "This is a quick task so I do not need to use the TodoWrite" </bad-exampl
