SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? New Nexus users often confuse projects with skills, create duplicate one-off projects for repeating work, and lack a mental model for organizing work. This Skill provides a guided 8-10 minute tutorial that teaches when to create projects versus skills, how projects are structured, and how the project lifecycle works. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Framework: Walks users through a repeatable classification method (Direction vs Work, then Repeat vs One-time) to distinguish projects from skills and goals. - Structure & Lifecycle Education: Explains the standard project folder layout (planning, resources, working, outputs) and the PLANNING to ARCHIVED lifecycle states. - Proactive Onboarding: Automatically suggests the tutorial when a user creates their first project or shows confusion about organizing work, tracked via user-config.yaml. - Use Case: A new user says "create project for launching v2.0 dashboard" for the first time. The Skill proactively offers a quick tutorial, then guides them through classifying their planned work before creating the project correctly. ## Quick Start Say "learn projects" to start the interactive tutorial on how Nexus projects work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I learn how Nexus projects work?

Say "learn projects" to start an interactive 8-10 minute tutorial. It covers concrete examples, a decision framework for classifying work, project folder structure, and lifecycle states, ending with a practice exercise on your own planned work.

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

Projects are finite work with an endpoint, like building a client proposal, while skills are reusable workflows that repeat, like generating weekly status reports. The rule of thumb is: projects end, skills repeat.

When does the learn projects tutorial trigger automatically?

It is proactively suggested when you create your first project, describe work that sounds like a project, express confusion about projects versus skills, or finish setup-goals. It checks learning_tracker.completed.learn_projects in user-config.yaml and skips if already completed.

What is the folder structure of a Nexus project?

Each project contains four subdirectories: 01-planning for overview, plan, and task files; 02-resources for reference materials; 03-working for work in progress; and 04-outputs for final deliverables.

Can I skip the projects tutorial and create a project directly?

Yes. Say "just create the project" or "skip" and the tutorial will not trigger. The suggestion is also suppressed once you have completed it or already created projects successfully.
