Not negotiable.** ## Access Use the `Skill` tool with `beadpowers:` prefix. Follow skill content directly. Never Read skill files. ## The Rule Invoke skills BEFORE any response or action. If wrong for situation, you don't need to use it. ## Red Flags (you're rationalizing) - "Just a simple question" → Questions are tasks. Check skills. - "Need context first" → Skill check comes BEFORE exploration. - "I'll do this one thing first" → Check BEFORE doing anything. - "Skill is overkill" → Simple becomes complex. Use it. ## Priority 1. **Process skills first** (brainstorming) - HOW to approach 2. **Implementation skills second** (create-beads) - guide execution "Build X" → brainstorming first, then create-beads. ## Available Skills - `beadpowers:brainstorming` - Design refinement before implementation - `beadpowers:create-beads` - Create epics/tasks from designs --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/pprice) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
