SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the initial setup and orientation of the productivity system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Checks vault readiness by examining memory indicators (AGENTS.md), daily logs, people, and efforts to establish a configured workspace.
  • Orients the user with a clear view of foundation skills and always-on capabilities, and guides per-vault workflow configuration.
  • Provides guidance on memory bootstrap via the central bootstrap process (/productivity:bootstrap), ensuring memory is initialized and usable.
  • Adapts behavior based on whether memory is already initialized (AGENTS.md exists) to avoid duplication and confusion.

Quick Start

Run /productivity:bootstrap to set up memory and show the available commands.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a productivity vault and set up task management foundations?

Vault setup checks memory indicators like AGENTS.md, daily logs, people, and efforts to ensure your workspace is fully configured before initializing the productivity system.

What is the best way to orient an Obsidian vault for automated task management?

Vault orientation establishes memory and task foundations by verifying memory indicators, guiding per-vault workflow configuration, and enforcing SKILL.md frontmatter to present available capabilities.

How do I bootstrap memory in my productivity vault without duplicating previous configurations?

Memory bootstrap adapts to existing configurations by checking if AGENTS.md exists, avoiding duplication and confusion while ensuring memory is initialized and usable across your vaults.

Does vault onboarding support optional directories for extended task management functionality?

Vault onboarding recognizes optional directories like scripts, references, and assets, allowing you to extend functionality beyond the core memory and task foundations.

What are the limitations of automated productivity setup for existing Obsidian vaults?

Automated productivity setup relies on verifying specific memory indicators like AGENTS.md; if these files already exist, the system adapts to avoid duplication rather than overwriting your current workflow.
