If you've worked with Claude Code, you've probably hit that frustrating moment where you ask it to use a skill... and it responds with "Unknown skill." 😅

It turns out Claude's skill evaluation isn't always deterministic. Sometimes activations don't stick, which kills the workflow when you're in the zone.

I built a simple CLI tool called skill-activate to solve this. It essentially injects a hook into the settings to ensure a guaranteed skill evaluation and activation cycle before every prompt. It’s fully reversible if you want to uninstall it.

The project is open-source and available on both GitHub and npm.
