🎯 AI Proactive Triggering (ONBOARDING SKILL)

This is an ONBOARDING skill with HIGH PRIORITY for proactive suggestion.

When to Proactively Suggest (AI MUST check user-config.yaml)

Check learning_tracker.completed.learn_skills in user-config.yaml. If false :

PROACTIVELY SUGGEST when user:

• Says "create skill" for the FIRST TIME (suggest learning before creating)

• Describes repeating work patterns ("every week I...", "I always have to...")

• Asks about automating workflows or creating templates

• Expresses confusion about what makes something a "skill"

• Creates multiple similar things (report-jan, report-feb anti-pattern)

• At the END of learn-projects (natural progression)

• When user completes a workflow that could be skill-worthy

Suggestion Pattern:

💡 I notice you're describing repeating work. Before creating a skill, would you like a 10-minute tutorial on what makes workflows "skill-worthy"? It covers:

• The 3-criteria skill-worthiness framework
• How skills are structured
• How AI triggers skills automatically

Say 'learn skills' to start, or continue with your current task.

Anti-Pattern Detection:

If user creates: report-jan, report-feb, report-mar... → "I notice you're creating similar items. This is a perfect use case for a SKILL instead of multiple projects. Want to 'learn skills' to understand how to capture this as a reusable workflow?"

DO NOT suggest if:

• learning_tracker.completed.learn_skills: true

• User explicitly says "skip" or "just create the skill"

• User has already created skills successfully

Learn Skills

Teach how to identify skill-worthy workflows and create effective skills.

Purpose

Help user understand what makes something skill-worthy, how skills are structured, and how skill triggering works. Includes hands-on practice identifying their own workflows.

Time Estimate: 10-12 minutes

Workflow

Step 1: Concrete Examples

✅ SKILLS (repeating workflows):

• Weekly status report (same format weekly)
• Qualify sales lead (same questions each time)
• Process expense reports (same steps)

❌ NOT SKILLS (one-time):

• Research competitor Acme (one-time)
• Build Q1 marketing plan (one-time)

Key question: Will I do this AGAIN?

Step 2: Skill-Worthiness Framework

Three questions:

1. FREQUENCY: 2+ times per month? YES → keep evaluating

2. REPEATABILITY: Steps mostly the same? YES → keep evaluating

3. VALUE: Saves >5 minutes per execution? YES → Create a skill!

ALL 3 YES = Skill-worthy ANY NO = Just do it manually

Step 3: Skill Structure

📁 weekly-status-report/ ├── SKILL.md # Instructions + triggers ├── references/ # Documentation (optional) ├── scripts/ # Automation (optional) └── assets/ # Templates (optional)

Step 4: How Triggering Works

AI checks your message against ALL skill descriptions. Match found = skill loads.

Example description: "Load when user says 'status report', 'weekly update', 'progress summary'"

ANY of these triggers it: • "Generate my status report" • "Weekly update please" • "Progress summary"

Step 5: Practice

Ask: "What did you do last week that you'll probably do again?"

For each: apply 3-criteria framework, brainstorm trigger phrases.

Step 6: How to Create

To create a skill, say: • "create skill for [workflow]" • "new skill: [name]"

YOUR skills go in 03-skills/ (prioritized!) SYSTEM skills in 00-system/skills/

Step 7: Finalize

Actions (MUST complete all):

Mark skill complete in user-config.yaml:

learning_tracker: completed: learn_skills: true # ADD THIS LINE

Display completion:

✅ Learn Skills Complete!

You now understand: • Skills = reusable workflows (do AGAIN → skill) • 3-criteria framework (Frequency + Repeatability + Value) • Skill structure (SKILL.md + optional references/scripts) • Trigger mechanism (keywords in description)

Next steps: • 'create skill' - Create your first skill • 'learn projects' - Learn about temporal work • 'learn nexus' - System mastery

Prompt close-session:

💡 When you're done working, say "done" to save progress.

Success Criteria

• User understands skill vs project distinction

• User can apply 3-criteria skill-worthiness framework

• User knows skill folder structure

• User understands trigger mechanism

• User identified at least one potential skill from their work

• learning_tracker.completed.learn_skills: true in user-config.yaml
