What problem does it solve? Multi-session, multi-branch, and multi-PR work loses context between sessions; this Skill gives agents shared vocabulary, storage rules, and safety boundaries for durable Objective records checked into a repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Shared Objective model: Defines the .ns/objectives/<slug>/ record layout (objective.md, roadmap.md, updates/, closed.md) with required headings and status semantics. - Pattern catalog: Conditional references explain umbrella, standing, orienting, ideation, steelthread, autoobjective, and readme-driven-development Objective patterns. - Safety boundaries: Enforces read-only behavior, slug identity, immutable Semantic Updates, and explicit selection rules so step skills never mutate records incorrectly. - Use Case: When asked a conceptual question about ns Objectives — such as which pattern fits a new initiative or how ns objective list reports status — load this Skill to answer accurately without touching files. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explain which Objective pattern fits a new multi-PR initiative and how to structure its record under .ns/objectives/.
