AI workspace plugin skills not automatically triggered after install

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
- Complete a feature implementation with all tests passing
- Install
ai-workspaceplugin via/plugin - Run
/reload-plugins(confirmed: "Reloaded: 16 plugins · 12 skills · 117 agents...") - 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
- Skills installed mid-session may not be fully indexed for auto-triggering
- The "ship it" intent may not map to workspace skill trigger conditions
- Assistant may need explicit guidance that new skills should be preferred over manual git commands
