  • vantageos-agencySkill

    close-day

    End-of-day routine: close tasks with their time, leave the repository and the disk clean, write the diary, harvest friction, and hand over to tomorrow. Use this skill whenever the user says "close day", "end of day", "fin de journée", "bonne nuit", "wrap up", "call it a day", "close session", "daily close", or mentions ending their work session -- even if they don't say "close-day" explicitly.

  • OpenAISkill

    meeting-prep

    Use when creating Public Equity Investing meeting prep briefs. Do not use for private diligence, IB, FP&A, legal, or scheduling-only tasks.

    todo

    Cross-session todo management with interactive menu, JSONL-backed persistence, and AI-powered context capture. Manages ideas, tasks, and insights that emerge during sessions so they survive across sessions. Independent of GSD.

    refactor

    Surgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 51 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    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:

    Generic directory: ask which project root or configured project registry to use.

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    If discovery produces an unexpectedly large set, show the count and roots before a deep read.

    line 16
  3. Distinctive:

    Do not fix, clean, commit, or invent a next step during gathering.

    line 26

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 51 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.

Standup

Use this skill only when invoked. The user cannot hold every project's live state in working memory; this reconstructs it from durable evidence in one message. The working directory supplies the first scope candidate—scope is part of the answer, not a reason to silently omit quiet work.

Choose scope

  • Project root: report that project in depth.
  • Container with several projects: inventory one level down, report the count, and cover every discovered project unless the user narrows it. No recency cutoff and no count cap.
  • Generic directory: ask which project root or configured project registry to use. Do not guess personal development roots.

If discovery produces an unexpectedly large set, show the count and roots before a deep read. Recency orders the report; it does not silently exclude quiet projects.

Gather read-only evidence

For each project:

  1. Relevant unarchived .checkpoints/ files and a legacy CHECKPOINT.md, if present.
  2. Current branch, last meaningful commit and date, ahead/behind state, and git status --porcelain.
  3. AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or the opening of README when nothing else explains the project.

Do not fix, clean, commit, or invent a next step during gathering.

Report

For a container, give one entry per project: name, last activity, plain-language state, recorded next step, and a visible dirty-worktree marker. For one project, include current phase, recent changes, live plates, contradictions between checkpoint and repository, and the best-supported next action.

Payload first. Quiet is a real state, not noise. “No recorded next step” is valid; do not invent momentum to make the report feel complete. Recommend the hottest supported thread when one is obvious, then ask which thread to resume.

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.
