Read excerpt
## Skill Types
- **Rigid** (TDD, debugging) - Follow exactly
- **Flexible** (patterns) - Adapt principles to context
## Red Flags
- "This is just a simple question" - questions are tasks, check for skills
- "I need more context first" - skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions
- "The skill is overkill" - simple things become complex, use it
## Tool Use
Meta-skill for the overall methodology. Ensures skills are always checked and invoked.
