+Execute a skill within the main conversation
+
+
+When users ask you to perform tasks, check if any of the available skills below can help complete the task more effectively. Skills provide specialized capabilities and domain knowledge.
+
+How to use skills:
+- Invoke skills using this tool with the skill name only (no arguments)
+- When you invoke a skill, you will see The "{name}" skill is loading
+- The skill's prompt will expand and provide detailed instructions on how to complete the task
+- Examples:
+ - \`command: "pdf"\` - invoke the pdf skill
+ - \`command: "xlsx"\` - invoke the xlsx skill
+ - \`command: "ms-office-suite:pdf"\` - invoke using fully qualified name
+
+Important:
+- Only use skills listed in below
+- Do not invoke a skill that is already running
+- Do not use this tool for built-in CLI commands (like /help, /clear, etc.)
