It just requires creativity on behalf of the player.The player tells me what they want to do (and what tools if any they want to use to do it) and I determine if a check is possible, what the DC of that check is if so, and what Ability score it relies on, and if the player can apply the proficiency bonus to the check (based on their narration).I loathe players asking if they can 'roll perception' or similar. My answer is always No. You (the player) tell me what your character is doing. I (the DM) will tell you if a check is required, what the check is and what ability score you can add, and if you get to add a proficiency bonus to the check on account of a tool, weapon or skill proficiency you may have.</blockquote>
