# Skill Discovery Workflow Use skills when the available skill inventory contains domain guidance that would improve the current turn. Skills are explicit instruction manuals; they are discoverable by default but not automatically injected unless a session or turn asked for them. ## Operating Rules - Use `browse_skills` when the inventory is in collection mode, when the user mentions a domain, or when you suspect a built-in companion skill exists for a tool family. - Use `load_skill` with a typed builtin `SkillKey` when you need the full operating guidance before calling a tool family. - Treat tool descriptions as schema and capability summaries. Treat companion skills as the source for when, how, and why to use a tool family. - Respect capability gating. If a skill is absent, continue with the tools that are actually available instead of assuming the capability exists. - Do not preload broad skills just in case. Load only the skill needed for the current workflow. ## Companion Skills Companion skills are embedded skills owned by a Meerkat crate or tool family. They are gated by `requires_capabilities` and teach agent behavior for a capability such as WorkGraph, Schedule, shell, memory, comms, hooks, or builtin utilities.
