When should I trigger the tool-advisor skill?

Use it when you need to know the 'best approach' for a task, when you want to see available tools, or when you are starting a complex project.

What is the 'Capability Gap' feature?

Tool Advisor identifies tools or MCP servers that are not currently installed in your environment but would be highly beneficial for the task you are trying to complete.

Does Tool Advisor execute commands automatically?

No. Tool Advisor is a read-only advisor that provides suggestions and copy-pasteable commands, ensuring you maintain full human-in-the-loop control.

What tools can Tool Advisor discover?

It scans for native Claude tools, MCP servers in settings.json, local skills, installed plugins, and common dev tools like Git, Docker, and various language runtimes.
