Amp added the ability for users to manually invoke skills, forcing the agent to use a chosen skill on the next message, rather than waiting for the agent to decide.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ampcode.com/news/user-invokable-skills:

> we made skills user-invokable: you, as the user, can now invoke a skill, which will force the agent to use it when you send your next message.
