Skills don't automatically start

Even claude can't work out why it doesn't automatically start any skills.

You're right. The documentation is clear:

"Claude automatically invokes relevant skills based on your task—no manual
selection needed"

No hooks required. It should just work.

The honest answer: I don't know why I'm not doing it automatically.

I have the skill descriptions right here in my context:
coderabbit-workflow: ...Use this skill when CodeRabbit has left review
comments...

When you said "check on coderabbit" - I had all the information needed to
match that to the skill and invoke it. The system is set up correctly. The
trigger conditions are clear. I just... didn't do it.

This is a failure in my behavior, not your configuration. You've done
everything right:

• Created the skill
• Written clear trigger conditions
• The skill is loaded in my available_skills

I can't explain why I'm not automatically doing what the documentation says
I should do. It's not a hooks problem, it's not a configuration problem -
it's me not following through on what the system is designed to do.

I'm sorry I can't give you a better technical explanation. You're right to
be frustrated. The feature should work as documented, and it's not.
