Using Ito Skills

If a skill applies to your task, you must invoke it before responding. Even a 1% chance means check.

How to Access Skills

Harness	Load Command	Skill Locations
OpenCode	`skill load <name>`	`.opencode/skills/`, `~/.config/opencode/skills/`
Claude Code	`mcp_skill` with `name="<name>"`	`.claude/skills/`
Codex	Read directly: `cat .codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`	`.codex/skills/`, `~/.codex/skills/`

Detecting your harness: OpenCode has the skill tool, Claude Code has mcp_skill, Codex has .codex/ directory.

Red Flags (you're rationalizing)

"This is just a simple question" — questions are tasks, check for skills
"I need more context first" — skill check comes BEFORE exploration
"The skill is overkill" — simple things become complex, use it
"I remember this skill" — skills evolve, read the current version

Priority

When multiple skills apply:

Process skills first (brainstorming, debugging) — determine HOW to approach
Implementation skills second — guide execution

Skill Types

Rigid (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline. Flexible (patterns): Adapt principles to context. The skill itself tells you which.
