SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

AI agents lack persistent knowledge about who you are, how you work, and what tools you use, forcing you to re-explain your role, team, and configuration in every session. This Skill builds a structured personal context portfolio that any agent can read.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Interview Setup: Walks you through creating six context files (identity, role, team, tools/ADO config, communication style, preferences) one at a time with drafting and revision passes.
  • Gap Detection and Resume: Scans loaded custom instructions for referenced context files, detects missing files or TODO placeholders, and resumes setup where you left off.
  • Targeted Updates: Handles in-passing changes like a new manager or team member by editing the relevant context file directly.
  • Use Case: A program manager says "set up my IQ" and the agent interviews them, pre-fills factual fields from connected work data, writes six markdown files to a chosen directory, and wires pointers into their user-scope AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md so every future session knows their context.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to set up my personal context portfolio by running the setup-my-iq interview.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up personal context files for AI agents?

Run the setup-my-iq skill, which interviews you one file at a time to create six markdown files covering identity, role, team, tools config, communication style, and preferences. It then writes pointers into your user-scope AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md so any agent can find them.

What files does the personal context portfolio contain?

The portfolio contains six markdown files: identity.md, role-and-responsibilities.md, team.md, tools-systems-and-config.md, communication-style.md, and preferences-and-constraints.md. Each captures a different aspect of how you work.

Does setup-my-iq work with VS Code Copilot and Claude Code?

Yes. It detects user-scope instruction files for VS Code Copilot Chat and Claude Code (.claude/CLAUDE.md) and GitHub Copilot CLI (.copilot/copilot-instructions.md), and can symlink them to a canonical .agents/AGENTS.md file.

Can I resume an incomplete context setup?

Yes. The skill scans loaded instructions for referenced filenames, classifies each as missing, incomplete, or present, and resumes where you left off. It fills TODO placeholders with targeted questions rather than rerunning the full interview.

When should I not trigger the setup-my-iq skill?

Do not trigger it for read-only questions like "who is on my team" or "what is my ADO config". Those are answered directly from the existing context files referenced in your loaded custom instructions without running any skill.
