Skill Runner
Execute a named skill's run phase correctly: validate inputs, run the defined steps in order, and check outputs.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Running a skill on a task generally depends on the platform you're using. In most setups: - The skill activates when your request matches what it's designed for - You describe your task and the skill guides the response - Some skills need specific inputs or context If you tell me which skill and what you're trying to do, I can help you figure out how to invoke it. Different skill collections have different conventions for triggering and using them. What are you trying to run?
Here's the run workflow — a repeatable way to invoke a skill on a task
and get consistent output, rather than hoping it triggers.
THE FLOW
1. STATE THE TASK, matched to the skill
Describe what you want in terms the skill recognizes. A skill
activates on matching intent — "review this PR" hits the review
skill; "make it better" hits nothing in particular.
2. SUPPLY THE INPUTS IT NEEDS
Most skills expect specific context (the file, the transcript, the
brand voice). Give it up front; a skill starved of input produces
generic output, which reads as the skill not working.
3. LET THE SKILL'S WORKFLOW RUN
The skill applies its own instructions and validation — you don't
re-specify the steps each time. That's the point of a skill vs. a
one-off prompt: the process is baked in and repeats.
4. ITERATE WITHIN IT
Refine by adjusting inputs, not by re-explaining the whole task.
WHY IT STAYS CONSISTENT
The skill carries its own validation, so output holds its shape run to
run — the same task next week produces the same kind of result, because
the workflow, not your phrasing, drives it.
THE COMMON MISTAKE
Under-specifying the input and blaming the skill. Give it the file, the
context, the goal — then let its workflow do the rest.
Tell me the skill and the task, and I'll show you the exact invocation.About this skill
