Load Auto-Generated Skill

This command loads a previously generated skill into the current session, making it immediately active without requiring a restart.

How It Works

Skills in Claude Code are normally discovered at session start. This command bypasses that limitation by:

1. Retrieving the skill content from the registry
2. Outputting it with clear delimiters that signal "these are active instructions"
3. Making the skill immediately available for the current conversation

Usage

List Available Skills

If no skill name is provided, list all available auto-generated skills:

auto-skill discover

Display the output to the user so they can choose which skill to load.

Search for Community Skills

If the user wants to find community skills, use Skills CLI:

npx skills find <query>         # Interactive search
npx skills add owner/repo       # Install skill

Load a Specific Skill

When a skill name is provided:

auto-skill load "<skill-name>"

IMPORTANT: The output from the auto-skill load command contains the skill instructions wrapped in clear delimiters (======). You should:

1. Display this output directly to the user
2. Treat the content between the delimiters as active instructions you should follow when relevant
3. Confirm to the user that the skill is now loaded

Example Output

======================================================================
SKILL LOADED: grep-edit-workflow-a1b2c3
Confidence: 85%
Tokens: ~500
======================================================================

## Instructions

1. Search for the relevant patterns in the codebase
2. Read the relevant file(s) to understand the current state
3. Make the necessary edits to the file

======================================================================
END OF SKILL INSTRUCTIONS - FOLLOW WHEN RELEVANT
======================================================================

Notes

• The skill registry is automatically updated when skills are created/deleted
• Use --rebuild flag if the registry seems out of date
• Skills loaded this way are session-scoped (they persist for the current conversation)
• Multiple skills can be loaded in the same session
