Skill Trigger Keyword Map

Skills fire either via /slash invocation or via keyword auto-triggers defined in CLAUDE.md. Priority levels P0–P3 determine how aggressively Claude routes a request.

TierWhen it firesExample
P0Auto-invoke on critical execution, governance, or safety paths/security-review fires automatically when a webhook handler is modified
P1High-leverage workflows — keyword match in chat OR explicit slash/acquisitions-outreach fires on “send initial CH outreach”
P2Domain-specific helpers, on-request/docx fires when you mention “Word doc”
P3Niche customization/keybindings-help fires for “rebind shortcut”

The full Tool Trigger Conditions table is in CLAUDE.md under “Tool Trigger Conditions (auto-invoke, no memory required)”. ~80 entries spanning P0-P3.

~/.claude/skills/ has ~94 directories. ~54 with valid SKILL.md frontmatter. Each skill is a self-contained YAML+markdown bundle Claude can load and execute.
