Skills seem like the way forward, but Claude still needs to be convinced to activate the skill. If that's not happening reliably, hooks should be able to help.

A sibling comment on hooks mentions some approaches. You could also try leveraging the UserPromptSubmit hook to do some prompt analysis and force relevant skill activation.

I wonder how well a sentence or two in CLAUDE.md, saying to search the local project for examples of similar use cases or use of internal libraries, would work.

Hooks can also be useful for this. If it's using the wrong APIs then can hint on write or block on commit with some lint function that checks for this.
