SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Telos helps you organize life and project intelligence into structured files, then turns that context into story-driven narratives and professional board-ready reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

TELOS context management (personal + project): Maintains personal life operating system files and supports flexible scanning of project directories to extract relationships, dependencies, goals, and progress.
Workflow-driven outputs: Supports TELOS updates, interview extraction into categorized evidence files, and generation of narrative points and McKinsey-style reports.
Executive-ready deliverables: Produces narrative arcs (bad news → evidence → stakes → pivot) and generates a web-based report with diagrams, exhibits, and a clear call to action.

Quick Start

Run the Telos skill with the request: "create a TELOS narrative for Acme Corp, n=24".

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a McKinsey-style transformation report from project analysis data?▼

Telos scans project directories and personal life operating system files to extract relationships, dependencies, goals, and progress. It organizes this intelligence into structured TELOS context files, converting unstructured project context into decision-ready strategy artifacts.

How do I extract interview evidence into categorized data files?▼

Telos extracts interview evidence into structured categories, organizing qualitative input into TELOS life files. This process supports narrative generation by converting raw interview data into structured evidence for decision-ready strategy reports.

What is a life operating system for personal and project context management?▼

A life operating system organizes personal beliefs, goals, and project context into structured TELOS files. Telos manages these files and scans project directories to extract dependencies and progress, producing actionable dashboards and consulting-style reports.

Can I update personal goals and beliefs within a project analysis dashboard?▼

Yes, you can update goals and beliefs through TELOS context management. The system routes requests through a root SKILL.md-defined workflow with mandatory invocation notification, ensuring validation-friendly, privacy-aware outputs for personal and project context.

How do I generate narrative points for a client from extracted evidence?▼

To generate narrative points, Telos consumes TELOS analysis artifacts and categorized interview evidence to construct a narrative arc: bad news, evidence, stakes, and pivot. This produces story-driven deliverables for client strategy and decision-ready reports.

Are there limitations when generating consulting-style reports without structured context files?▼

Generating consulting-style reports requires pre-existing TELOS context files and optional artifact consumption. Without structured personal or project context, the system cannot produce narrative arcs or McKinsey-style reports, as the root SKILL.md-defined workflow depends on structured inputs for validation-friendly outputs.
