Since v1.0.0 Claude often doesn't load /grilling and /domain-modeling skills when /grill-with-docs is invoked

[wodin]

This causes Claude to guess what grilling means and it asks all questions at once and does not provide options or recommendations.

I tried tweaking the /grill-with-docs skill to explicitly tell it to load both skills and then to invoke them. This time it said it would load both skills, but then only loaded grilling. I asked it about the other one and it said this:

❯ Btw, did you load the /domain-modeling skill?                                                                               

● You're right — I forgot to load /domain-modeling. Let me do that now.

● Skill(domain-modeling)
  ⎿  Successfully loaded skill

Agent Brief

Category: bug
Summary: Make /grill-with-docs reliably load and use both /grilling and /domain-modeling instead of partially loading one skill and then free-styling the rest.

Current behavior: When /grill-with-docs is invoked, Claude often behaves as if only /grilling loaded. It asks all questions at once, skips options/recommendations, and misses the domain-modeling step unless manually corrected.

Desired behavior: /grill-with-docs should consistently load the required dependent skills and actually follow both of their workflows.

Acceptance criteria:

• invoking /grill-with-docs reliably loads both required skills
• the resulting behavior matches the intended grilling flow, including one-question progression and options/recommendations where applicable
• domain-modeling behavior is actually used, not just claimed in prose
• the combined workflow degrades gracefully if a dependency cannot be loaded

I tested it again several times, and indeed it cannot reliably load all model-invoke skills—it's in an unpredictable state. This is a very frustrating issue.

Thanks. What model and effort are you using?

Maybe try this in the grill-with-docs/SKILL.md?

Steps:

1. Load the `/grilling` skill
2. Load the `/domain-modeling` skill
3. Invoke the `/grilling` skill in conjunction with the `/domain-modeling` skill.
