• Writing PHP code → loads php-human-made
• Working on React components → loads react-human-made
• Running composer server commands → loads altis-development
• Asked to lint or check code quality → loads run-linters

The hm-coding-philosophy skill has a broad description and loads more frequently for general code quality guidance.
