When can a skill card be played during a turn?

The rulebook's Action Step covers action cards, and posters agree on the timing of the rest.

It depends on the card's wording. Cards marked Action are played as an action: your own Action step, or an action granted by something like Executive Order. Cards with a stated timing are played then: Investigative Committee and Scientific Research before a skill check, Strategic Planning before a die roll, Declare Emergency after the cards are revealed, and Evasive Maneuvers after a die roll against a Viper.
