AI workspace plugin skills not automatically triggered after install

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 23, 2026 by mjkuniversal Closed Apr 26, 2026

Description

After installing the ai-workspace plugin via /plugin and running /reload-plugins, the assistant did not automatically use the appropriate workspace skills (e.g., /ai-workspace-submit or /ai-submit-work) when asked to "ship it" after completing a feature implementation.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Complete a feature implementation with all tests passing
  2. Install ai-workspace plugin via /plugin
  3. Run /reload-plugins (confirmed: "Reloaded: 16 plugins · 12 skills · 117 agents...")
  4. Say "ship it" to commit and push changes

Expected Behavior

The assistant should recognize that workspace skills are now available and use /ai-submit-work or /ai-workspace-submit to properly submit work (run checks, commit, push, create PR with automerge).

Actual Behavior

The assistant performed a raw git commit && git push instead of using the newly installed workspace skills, bypassing the structured submission workflow.

Context

  • The skills appeared in the system reminder after reload
  • The assistant acknowledged the mistake when prompted but didn't proactively recognize the available skills
  • May be related to skill auto-triggering logic not considering newly-installed plugins mid-session

Possible Causes

  1. Skills installed mid-session may not be fully indexed for auto-triggering
  2. The "ship it" intent may not map to workspace skill trigger conditions
  3. Assistant may need explicit guidance that new skills should be preferred over manual git commands
