Agent Starter

Choose one next stage. Do not run the whole chain by default.

Route

1. Beginning a work session with existing repository history → morning-brief.
2. A desired outcome exists, but current implementation status is unclear → aim-before-build.
3. The target is still fuzzy and several decisions are open → decision-sheet.
4. A costly or hard-to-reverse plan is still uncertain → converge-plan.
5. Work needs multiple turns and an evidence-based finish line → goal-contract.
6. An approved plan has three or more implementation phases → phase-loop.
7. Work is ready to review or share → evidence-audit.
8. Too many skills, or a skill never triggers → harness-audit; an external source to evaluate → absorb.

Simple questions and one-line edits need none of these. Handle them directly.

Shared habits

• Treat runtime behavior and direct measurements as stronger evidence than old documentation.
• Read the nearest project instructions and current status before editing.
• Search for existing code, standard features, dependencies, and installed skills before creating anything.
• Use the lowest effort that can close the task reliably.
• Delegate only independent, bounded work; keep one writer unless paths are disjoint.
• Never treat an empty result as proof that nothing exists.
• Finish non-trivial work with one runnable check and an explicit remaining-risk statement.

Output

Return the selected stage, why it fits, the first artifact or check to inspect, and one next action.

Next

Hand off to the selected stage and stop; the chain continues from that stage's own ## Next.
