When does this happen?
IF Claude does not activate a skill when the user's request is relevant but doesn't match the exact phrasing in the skill description.
How others solved it
THEN Expand the skill description to include multiple trigger phrases and contexts, using pushy language that explicitly tells Claude to use the skill even for related but unstated tasks. For example, instead of a generic description, add phrases like 'Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions X, Y, or Z, even if they don't explicitly ask.'
Instead of: 'How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data.' write: 'How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboards, data visualization, internal metrics, or wants to display any kind of company data, even if they don't explicitly ask for a "dashboard."'
