<!-- swain-model-hint: haiku, effort: low --> Invoke the Skill tool for exactly one match. Pass the user's full prompt as args.

Disambiguation: When the user's intent includes an artifact type name (spec, epic, ADR, spike, vision, initiative, journey, persona, runbook, design) alongside a question word (how, what, why), prefer swain-design over swain-help. swain-help is for meta-questions about swain itself, not for artifact operations.
