tomevault-io Using Ito Skills
If a skill applies to your task, you must invoke it before responding. Even a 1% chance means check.
How to Access Skills
| Harness | Load Command | Skill Locations |
|---|---|---|
| OpenCode | skill load <name> |
.opencode/skills/, ~/.config/opencode/skills/ |
| Claude Code | mcp_skill with name="<name>" |
.claude/skills/ |
| Codex | Read directly: cat .codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md |
.codex/skills/, ~/.codex/skills/ |
Detecting your harness: OpenCode has the skill tool, Claude Code has mcp_skill, Codex has .codex/ directory.
Red Flags (you're rationalizing)
- "This is just a simple question" — questions are tasks, check for skills
- "I need more context first" — skill check comes BEFORE exploration
- "The skill is overkill" — simple things become complex, use it
- "I remember this skill" — skills evolve, read the current version
Priority
When multiple skills apply:
- Process skills first (brainstorming, debugging) — determine HOW to approach
- Implementation skills second — guide execution
Skill Types
Rigid (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline. Flexible (patterns): Adapt principles to context. The skill itself tells you which.
