SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Standing agendas accumulate un-filed items over time, making it hard for an owner to see what actually needs attention. This Skill runs a scheduled triage pass that files the un-triaged frontier into the agenda's hub graph and surfaces a ranked attention list. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontier-Scoped Placement: Files only un-triaged items into the hub graph using part_of links, seeding placement from each item's provenance-derived project and creating hub notes when two or more items share a project. - Attention Ranking: Ranks what genuinely needs the owner — blocking questions first, then approval-pending manifests, suspended standing effects, decision items, and resolvable blocked items — with a one-line recommendation annotation on each. - Orientation Maintenance: Proposes refreshed orientation paragraphs as annotations when a hub's body drifts from its children, and supplies missing Situate lines for decision items. - Use Case: On a weekly cadence, the run reads the agenda via ctl agenda list --all --json, files new items under project hubs, and parks a single triage:summary item listing every placement and the ranked attention list. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run an agenda triage pass over the un-triaged frontier and produce a ranked attention summary.

FAQPage Schema

How do I triage a backlog of agenda items automatically?▼

Run a triage pass scoped to the un-triaged frontier: open items newer than the newest triage:summary item, plus items lacking placement or triage annotation. Each item is filed into the hub graph and ranked items receive a recommendation annotation.

What is the un-triaged frontier in agenda triage?▼

The frontier is the set of open agenda items newer than the newest triage:summary item, plus open items lacking both a part_of placement and a triage annotation. Daemon-parked items that are already placed are excluded from the frontier.

Can the triage run complete or resolve agenda items?▼

No. The triage mandate is strictly propose-don't-dispose: it never completes or retires items, clears blockers, answers questions, or touches reminder and urgency policy. It only places, links, annotates, and ranks.

What happens when the agenda frontier is empty?▼

The run writes nothing — no summary item and no annotations — and ends by stating that the frontier is empty with no action taken, so the run's write-back records the no-op.

How does triage decide where to place an agenda item?▼

Placement is seeded from the item's provenance-derived project: items go under the matching existing hub, or a new hub note is parked when two or more frontier items share a project. Singletons with no matching hub stay unplaced with a standalone annotation.
