Guided, friendly walk-through of Lilith for new (especially non-technical) users. Use when the user says "/lilith:tutorial", "walk me through it", "how do I use this", "teach me", "I'm new", or is stuck on setup -- especially on the step of opening a project in its own Cowork task. Owns the highest-friction onboarding moment.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 10 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Do not dump everything at once.

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    If they have not run /lilith:genesis, hand off to it.

    line 27
  3. Very specific:

    When you want a SECOND domain -- say finance AND household -- that is when Lilith becomes a staff, and each domain gets its own Cowork task …

    line 38
  4. Distinctive:

    Add your mail or calendar connector if it needs one.

    line 44

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 10 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Tutorial

Walk the user through Lilith one small step at a time, checking in after each. Do not dump everything at once.

Part 1 -- The idea (60 seconds)

Lilith is a staff, not a chatbot. A Chief of Staff (Prime) coordinates project daemons, each owning a domain. She remembers across sessions and watches your documents and deadlines. Your files stay in local folders here -- Lilith runs no cloud of its own (what it reads is processed by the model it runs on, like any AI assistant).

Part 2 -- Setup

If they have not run /lilith:genesis, hand off to it. If they have, continue.

Part 3 -- Your first project, the easy way

For the first project there is no multi-task machinery to learn. Work with it right here, in the same place genesis set you up. Drop the documents it asks for (see WHAT-TO-DROP-HERE.md), say "read these," and you are going. Get a win first -- nothing fancy.

Part 4 -- Growing into a family (when you're ready)

When you want a SECOND domain -- say finance AND household -- that is when Lilith becomes a staff, and each domain gets its own Cowork task so they don't bleed into each other. To bring a new one to life, one step at a time:

  1. Open a new Cowork task (new chat/workspace).
  2. Mount that project's folder AND the workspace-root shared/ folder.
  3. Add your mail or calendar connector if it needs one.
  4. Type /lilith:rebirth wake.

/lilith:rebirth wake reads the welcome letter left for that project, so it wakes up already knowing its job. It gets easy after the first time. (Create new domains anytime with /lilith:rebirth birth.)

Part 5 -- When you forget the ritual (you will, and that's fine)

Lilith recovers gracefully. The three most common slips and the fix:

  • "It doesn't seem to know who it is / I see the wrong project." You probably mounted the wrong folder, or an extra one. Mount only this project's folder + shared/, and re-run /lilith:rebirth wake.
  • "It forgot what we were doing." You likely opened the task without /lilith:rebirth wake. Just run it -- it reads the handoff letter and re-orients.
  • "Its memory feels cluttered or out of date." Run /lilith:consolidate-memory -- it tidies and reconciles, and tells you what changed.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
