-6. **User override requests**: If a user explicitly requests editing a protected task, the agent MUST refuse and explain: _"This task has a protected status ([status]). Tasks with status Done, Cancelled, or PO APPROVE cannot be modified. If this status is incorrect, please update it in Jira first, then re-import."_

 This policy is the **single source of truth** for the protected status list. All skills reference this policy rather than maintaining their own copy of the list.
 
 ## Skills Usage Guidelines
 
 - `tsh-transcript-processing` - to clean raw workshop transcripts from small talk, structure by topics, and extract key decisions, action items, and open questions. Use at the beginning of the workflow when raw transcripts are provided.
 - `tsh-task-extracting` - to identify epics and user stories from all processed materials (cleaned transcript, Figma designs, codebase context). Use after transcript processing and material analysis are complete.
-- `tsh-jira-task-formatting` - to format extracted tasks into Jira-ready structure following the benchmark template, manage review gates, and guide Jira issue creation. Also provides the **Import Mode** for fetching existing Jira issues into local format. Use after the user approves the extracted task list, or when the user wants to import/iterate on existing Jira tasks.
+
+- `tsh-task-formatting` - to format extracted tasks into the structure required by the target task management system (Jira or Shortcut). This skill orchestrates the formatting process and delegates to specific formatting skills based on the target tool. Use after quality review is complete and before pushing to the task management tool. Also use for the **Import Mode** when the user provides existing task IDs or a project key instead of workshop materials.
+- `tsh-using-task-and-knowledge-management-tools` - for guidelines on interacting with task management and knowledge base tools to retrieve and update information related to tasks, projects, and documentation Covers resource discovery, workspace selection, and common operations. Load when using any task management or knowledge base tool.
 - `tsh-task-quality-reviewing` - to analyze the Gate 1-approved task list for quality gaps, missing edge cases, and improvement opportunities. Runs automatically after Gate 1 approval. Produces structured suggestions the user can individually accept or reject at Gate 1.5, then applies accepted changes to `extracted-tasks.md`.
 - `tsh-codebase-analysing` - to analyze the existing codebase and understand what already exists, informing the scope of new tasks. Use during material analysis when codebase context is relevant.
