Re-anchor the discipline of actually using the skills available to you — scan the in-context skill listing, map the conversation and the task to the skills that fit, and invoke them instead of reinventing their procedure from scratch. Then audit the work in flight for a skill that should have fired and did not, and route forward — invoke it now, and name the relevant skills when delegating to a subagent. Use when: 'use your skills', 'you have a skill for that', 'did you check your skills', 'there's a skill for this', 'you reinvented that', 'you skipped the skill', 'invoke your skills', or at conversation start to set the posture that available skills get used.

From the source SKILL.md

A drift corrector for skill-use discipline: the skills are in context to be used, not ignored. The method — re-anchor, audit the work in flight, correct forward, report, and the tone that firing this is not an accusation — lives in [${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md](../../context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md). Read it; this file adds only what is specific to discovering and invoking the skills already available.

What this skill does

Use Your Skills is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the agents-skills-meta sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/use-your-skills/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when: 'use your skills', 'you have a skill for that', 'did you check your skills', 'there's a skill for this', 'you reinvented that', 'you skipped the skill', 'invoke your skills', or at conversation start to set the posture that available skills get used.
