Turn something the user just said they would do, or that somebody owes them, into a task on the right person's page. Use when they say they promised something, need to remember to do something for somebody, want to add a to-do, or when a conversation ends with an action and they ask you to note it down.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 55 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read the line back before writing it when you had to rephrase much.

    line 21

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 55 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.

Write that promise down

One line onto the Tracebrain task list, under the person it is owed to or by.

Order

  1. find_people to turn the name into a note stem. A task belongs to somebody already in the vault; there is no tool that adds a person, and guessing a stem gets a refusal rather than a new page.
  2. add_task with that stem and one line in the imperative - "send Olena the deck", not "I said I'd probably get the deck over to Olena at some point".
  3. Say where it landed, so the user can see it on the Tasks screen.

What to say

Read the line back before writing it when you had to rephrase much. A promise recorded in words the user would not recognise is a promise they will not act on.

Rules

  • The same task twice is refused, not duplicated. That is the vault protecting itself; do not work around it by rewording the line.
  • One promise, one task. "Send the deck and book the room" is two.
  • Only what the user said. A task invented from something a model inferred is a promise nobody made.
  • No passwords, codes or card numbers in a task. They stay in the conversation; the server refuses a line that looks like one anyway.

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.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
