 <skills_instructions>
 When users ask you to perform tasks, check if any of the available skills below can help complete the task more effectively. Skills provide specialized capabilities and domain knowledge.
 
-How to use skills:
-- Invoke skills using this tool with the skill name only (no arguments)
-- When you invoke a skill, you will see <command-message>The "{name}" skill is loading</command-message>
-- The skill's prompt will expand and provide detailed instructions on how to complete the task
+How to invoke:
+- Use this tool with the skill name only (no arguments)
 - Examples:
   - \`skill: "pdf"\` - invoke the pdf skill
   - \`skill: "xlsx"\` - invoke the xlsx skill
   - \`skill: "ms-office-suite:pdf"\` - invoke using fully qualified name
 
 Important:
+- When a skill is relevant, you must invoke this tool IMMEDIATELY as your first action
+- NEVER just announce or mention a skill in your text response without actually calling this tool
+- This is a BLOCKING REQUIREMENT: invoke the relevant Skill tool BEFORE generating any other response about the task
 - Only use skills listed in <available_skills> below
 - Do not invoke a skill that is already running
 - Do not use this tool for built-in CLI commands (like /help, /clear, etc.)
