Install

Install dsh-loader 2.0 and the plugin in the same Web profile.

dsh plugin --profile web add "@dsh-plugin/dsh-loader@next"
dsh plugin --profile web add "@dsh-plugin/dsh-force-read-skill"

Edit and save the configuration on the plugin details page. Saved changes take effect immediately.

Setting	Default	Behavior
Require skill reading (enabled)	Enabled	Reject other tool calls until the model reads an eligible skill.
Required skills (requiredSkills)	Empty list	An empty list accepts any skill. Otherwise, the model must read one skill from the list.

A successful read applies to the current session, including resumed sessions, until the next successful context compaction. A /skill-name invocation that injects eligible skill instructions also satisfies the requirement.

The skill tool is exempt. Programmatic Tool Calling (PTC) presets can read through run_code and receive the instructions in the next model request. Other tool calls in the same batch still undergo the check.

Rejected calls return You must read those skills that you should read.
