SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

New Nexus users often struggle to understand when to use projects versus skills, how to structure project folders, and how to track progress, leading to disorganized work and repeated context re-explanation across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project vs Skill Classification: Learn the core rule that projects are finite work with endpoints, while skills are repeatable workflows, with concrete examples to classify your own work.
  • Decision Framework: Use a simple question-based framework to determine if your task should be a project or a skill, avoiding common anti-patterns like creating duplicate weekly report projects.
  • Project Structure & Lifecycle Training: Walk through the standard Nexus project folder layout and lifecycle states (planning to archived) to set up work correctly from the start.
  • Use Case: If you are planning a product launch with a fixed deadline and set of deliverables, this tutorial helps you set up the project correctly instead of misclassifying it as a repeatable skill.

Quick Start

Request the Nexus project learning tutorial by asking Claude to "learn projects" to get started.

FAQPage Schema
What is the difference between a project and a skill in Nexus?

A Nexus project is finite work with a clear endpoint and deliverables, while a skill is a repeatable workflow. This distinction prevents work misclassification and duplicated context across sessions.

How do I structure a new project in Nexus?

To structure a Nexus project, use the standard folder layout provided in the workflow tutorial. It guides you through setting up lifecycle states from planning to archived, ensuring progress tracking is organized correctly from the start.

How do I know if my task should be a Nexus project or a skill?

Use the decision framework to ask if your task has a fixed deadline and specific deliverables. If it does, it is a project; if it is a repeatable process like a weekly report, it is a skill, avoiding common anti-patterns.

Does the Nexus project lifecycle include an archived state?

Yes, the Nexus project lifecycle includes an archived state. The workflow tutorial walks through all lifecycle states from planning to archived, enabling correct project creation and progress tracking management.

What are common anti-patterns when managing Nexus projects?

A common anti-pattern is misclassifying repeatable workflows as finite projects, such as creating duplicate weekly report projects. The tutorial provides decision frameworks and examples to eliminate this work misclassification.

Can I use the Nexus project tutorial for onboarding new team members?

Yes, the tutorial covers onboarding scenarios for new Nexus users. It teaches standard project folder structure, lifecycle states, and progress tracking workflows to enable correct project creation and management.
