Reconcile completed, changed and new project next actions in the selected deployed vault; refresh related state when those actions affect it.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 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.

  • 0

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read the vault rules, Project Type, and Procedure completely before acting.

    line 18
  2. Distinctive:

    Keep 3–7 outcome-level actions.

    line 22
  3. Distinctive:

    Remove completed items, rewrite partial work, and merge overlaps instead of appending duplicates.

    line 23
  4. Distinctive:

    Add a milestone only for a meaningful state transition and reconcile the human view when needed.

    line 26
  5. Distinctive:

    Avoid broad cascades, preserve unrelated edits, review the diff, and push only with current explicit authorization.

    line 27

≈ “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.

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

Update Project Next Actions

Reconcile what should happen next: remove completed actions, rewrite remaining work and merge overlaps. Refresh related project state when the action changes affect it.

For a broader refresh of current state, scope, blockers and links, use update-project-summary. Both workflows keep actions and state consistent.

Source of truth

  • Vault rules: AGENTS.md
  • Project contract: project.md
  • Complete workflow: procedures/update-project-next-actions.md

Read the vault rules, Project Type, and Procedure completely before acting.

Guardrails

  • Keep 3–7 outcome-level actions; review lists above 10.
  • Remove completed items, rewrite partial work, and merge overlaps instead of appending duplicates.
  • Route durable uncertainty, knowledge, ownership, workflows, and decisions into the appropriate existing Type only when direct and high-confidence.
  • Refresh Project state, questions, links, workflows, or guardrails when action changes affect them.
  • Add a milestone only for a meaningful state transition and reconcile the human view when needed.
  • Avoid broad cascades, preserve unrelated edits, review the diff, and push only with current explicit authorization.

Select this package by the requested vault role, not its name alone. Reuse rules and the complete Procedure already read in this session while they remain current; reread after a relevant change.

Does it work?

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

No reviews yet

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.

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.
