After installing the ai-workspace plugin via /plugin and running /reload-plugins, the assistant did not automatically use the appropriate workspace skills (e.g., /ai-workspace-submit or /ai-submit-work) when asked to "ship it" after completing a feature implementation.

Root Cause

After installing the ai-workspace plugin via /plugin and running /reload-plugins, the assistant did not automatically use the appropriate workspace skills (e.g., /ai-workspace-submit or /ai-submit-work) when asked to "ship it" after completing a feature implementation.

Description

After installing the ai-workspace plugin via /plugin and running /reload-plugins, the assistant did not automatically use the appropriate workspace skills (e.g., /ai-workspace-submit or /ai-submit-work) when asked to "ship it" after completing a feature implementation.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Complete a feature implementation with all tests passing
  2. Install ai-workspace plugin via /plugin
  3. Run /reload-plugins (confirmed: "Reloaded: 16 plugins · 12 skills · 117 agents...")
  4. Say "ship it" to commit and push changes

Expected Behavior

The assistant should recognize that workspace skills are now available and use /ai-submit-work or /ai-workspace-submit to properly submit work (run checks, commit, push, create PR with automerge).

Actual Behavior

The assistant performed a raw git commit && git push instead of using the newly installed workspace skills, bypassing the structured submission workflow.

Context

  • The skills appeared in the system reminder after reload
  • The assistant acknowledged the mistake when prompted but didn't proactively recognize the available skills
  • May be related to skill auto-triggering logic not considering newly-installed plugins mid-session

Possible Causes

  1. Skills installed mid-session may not be fully indexed for auto-triggering
  2. The "ship it" intent may not map to workspace skill trigger conditions
  3. Assistant may need explicit guidance that new skills should be preferred over manual git commands

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by ensuring that newly installed skills are fully indexed for auto-triggering or by providing explicit guidance to the assistant to prefer workspace skills over manual git commands.

Guidance

  • Verify that the ai-workspace plugin is correctly installed and loaded by checking the system reminder and the list of available skills after running /reload-plugins.
  • Check the skill auto-triggering logic to see if it considers newly installed plugins mid-session and if there are any configuration options to update the indexing of new skills.
  • Test if providing explicit guidance to the assistant, such as specifying the use of /ai-submit-work or /ai-workspace-submit when saying "ship it", can work around the issue.
  • Investigate the intent mapping for "ship it" to ensure it is correctly linked to the trigger conditions for the workspace skills.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code-related fix.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation of the skill auto-triggering logic and the intent mapping for the "ship it" command. Further investigation into these areas is necessary to determine the root cause and the most effective fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by providing explicit guidance to the assistant to use the workspace skills when saying "ship it", such as specifying /ai-submit-work or /ai-workspace-submit, until the root cause of the issue is determined and a more permanent fix can be implemented.
