When a user-installed skill (e.g. RedisOps) was bound to an agent, the
model frequently called the skill name directly as a tool, hit
"Tool not found: RedisOps", and either gave up or fell back to shell
guessing. Two compounding causes:
1. The system prompt block injected by SkillRuntimeService listed each
skill as `- **RedisOps** — desc`, which is the same format used for
tool catalogs and primed the model to call the names directly. The
"how to use" instructions referenced `read_skill_file` /
`run_skill_script` — names that don't exist in the tool registry,
so even a compliant LLM couldn't follow them.
2. ToolExecutionExecutor's `callback == null` branches returned a bare
"Tool not found: <name>" string. The model had no recovery signal
and no hint that the name it called was actually a skill.
Fix is two-layered:
- Prompt rewrite (SkillRuntimeService.buildSkillPromptEnhancement): lead
with an explicit warning that skills are NOT directly callable, use the
correct camelCase tool names (readSkillFile / runSkillScript), include
a concrete worked example anchored to the first enabled skill, and
render the listing as a markdown table so it stops looking like a
callable tool list. listAvailableSkills tool description and output
follow the same pattern.
- Runtime safety net (ToolExecutionExecutor): when toolCallbackMap.get
misses, check if the requested name (case-insensitive) matches an
active skill. If so, return a precise hint telling the LLM the right
invocation pattern instead of the bare error. Wired through both the
main execute path and the pre-approved replay path. SkillRuntimeService
is attached via a setter from AgentGraphBuilder so the executor's many
legacy constructors stay untouched, and it's nullable so isolated
tests still work.
Adds 5 unit tests covering: skill match -> hint, case-insensitive match,
no-match -> bare error, no SkillRuntimeService wired -> bare error,
pre-approved replay path -> hint.
