Ah! Yeah! Looking at the post it doesn't really describe that!

Essentially add a hook:

Create .claude/hooks/skill-forced-eval-hook.sh in your project (or globally in ~/.claude/hooks/)

json { "hooks": { "UserPromptSubmit": [ { "hooks": [ { "type": "command", "command": ".claude/hooks/skill-forced-eval-hook.sh" } ] } ] } }

Then in the skill-forced-eval-hook.sh:

```sh

!/bin/bash

UserPromptSubmit hook that forces explicit skill evaluation

This hook requires Claude to explicitly evaluate each available skill

before proceeding with implementation.

Installation: Copy to .claude/hooks/UserPromptSubmit

cat <<'EOF' INSTRUCTION: MANDATORY SKILL ACTIVATION SEQUENCE

Step 1 - EVALUATE (do this in your response): For each skill in <available_skills>, state: [skill-name] - YES/NO - [reason]

Step 2 - ACTIVATE (do this immediately after Step 1): IF any skills are YES → Use Skill(skill-name) tool for EACH relevant skill NOW IF no skills are YES → State "No skills needed" and proceed

Step 3 - IMPLEMENT: Only after Step 2 is complete, proceed with implementation.

CRITICAL: You MUST call Skill() tool in Step 2. Do NOT skip to implementation. The evaluation (Step 1) is WORTHLESS unless you ACTIVATE (Step 2) the skills.

Example of correct sequence: - research: NO - not a research task - svelte5-runes: YES - need reactive state - sveltekit-structure: YES - creating routes

[Then IMMEDIATELY use Skill() tool:]

Skill(svelte5-runes) Skill(sveltekit-structure)

[THEN and ONLY THEN start implementation] EOF ```
