What problem does it solve? When starting new work in a session-persistent memory system, activities can be duplicated across sessions, created without clear intent, or left without defined completion criteria. This Skill enforces a structured workflow for creating activities so every new task is deduplicated, tagged, linked to related decisions, and given an explicit end condition. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Intent Classification: Determines whether the work is a discussion, implementation, investigation, debug, design, document, or review task, and applies the appropriate title prefix and tags. - Duplicate Detection: Runs a cross-entity search before creation and proposes resuming an existing activity via check-in instead of reinventing it. - Implement Guard Handling: Ensures implementation activities are linked to at least one agreed decision, prompting the user to record a rationale decision when none exists. - Goal Definition: Sets a verifiable completion goal, links to an existing open goal, records a waiver for ongoing work, or deliberately leaves the goal undefined. - Use Case: A user says "start working on adding recency boost to search". The Skill searches for existing related activities and decisions, confirms the intent is implement, links the agreed design decision, creates the activity with domain and intent tags, and sets a goal with Claude-verifiable conditions. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant "start a new activity for updating the README installation steps" and it will classify the intent, check for duplicates, and create the activity with a check-in.
