I wish I knew why my skills are never called…including my custom sub agents.
Maybe it’s my own ignorance, but Claude loves to ignore its CLAIDE.MD which says it’s mandatory to leverage sub agents to delegate tasks and use skills for accomplish specific workflows.
Every time I call Claude out it tells me it knows and chose to ignore it, even going as far as saying it’s not my decision.
Create a hook that would ask Claude Code to evaluate all skills in the project and decide which are applicable to the current task at hand. It is easy and works very well.
I can’t thank you enough for course correcting me here, this is exactly what I should have been doing. I did some reading and I clearly wasn’t using any of the features correctly or efficiently.
My Claude.md was nearly 1,900 lines. It’s down to 150 lines now with Skills fully built out for the agents, and a hook to steer the ship. It’s all working perfectly now.
Now that it’s set up it feels obvious, but I agree nowhere was this clear to me that this is how skills, hooks, and subagents were intended to be configured.
I was so much more productive today and used far less tokens. Thank you again!

Any tips?
