open-inquiry
Skill6 starsChanged 3 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Open a bounded parallel **inquiry** — the knowledge-iop vault's barrier-mode coordination primitive for cases where multiple people should explore a question independently before anyone synthesizes. Use this when the user says things like "let's explore alternatives", "I want N people to try this independently", "we need parallel drafts", "let's not converge too early", or when a problem has multiple credible approaches and premature convergence would foreclose options. An inquiry is a *directory*: framing up front, isolated exploration files, synthesis after the barrier releases. If the question has one clearly best answer already, use `propose-design` instead — inquiries are for genuine ambiguity.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
11 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
6
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

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.
