    note

    Use this skill to record progress, partial findings, hypotheses, and page-anchored evidence while investigating a long document. Call Note aggressively — any time you read a page and confirm, narrow, or update your understanding of the user's question. Triggers include "jot that down", "save this finding", "note that page 7 says X", or (more often) implicit internal signals — you just learned something and want it recoverable later. Notes persist in the session and Review can select among them. Never paraphrase notes back from memory; write them as you go.

    Quick capture mode (with content) or batch processing mode (no content). GTD-style routing of inbox items to proper folders. Use "/inbox thought to capture" or "/inbox" to process.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 59 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check for and apply updates from the Genesis repository.

    line 9
  2. Distinctive:

    If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user and ask whether to proceed (updates may conflict) or abort.

    line 19
  3. Very specific:

    If the count is 0, report "Genesis is already up to date." and exit.

    line 30
  4. Distinctive:

    Confirm with the user: Ask whether to apply the updates.

    line 38
  5. Distinctive:

    If the pull fails due to conflicts, explain the situation and suggest git stash or manual resolution.

    line 60

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 59 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.

Update Genesis

Check for and apply updates from the Genesis repository.

Steps

  1. Verify location: Confirm you are operating in the Genesis directory (~/claude/genesis/). If not, inform the user and exit.
  2. Check for local changes:
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ status --porcelain

If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user and ask whether to proceed (updates may conflict) or abort.

  1. Fetch updates:
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ fetch origin main
  1. Compare versions:
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ rev-list HEAD..origin/main --count

If the count is 0, report "Genesis is already up to date." and exit.

  1. Show what changed:
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ log HEAD..origin/main --oneline --no-decorate

Present the list of incoming changes to the user. Highlight notable updates (new agents, skills, templates, or stack support).

  1. Confirm with the user: Ask whether to apply the updates. Use AskUserQuestion.
  2. Apply updates:
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ pull origin main
  1. Report results: Summarise what was updated. If new skills or agents were added, mention them. If templates changed, note that future generated projects will use the updated templates.

What is Preserved

The following user-specific files are gitignored and will never be overwritten by updates:

  • personalisation.md -- your locale, output style, and profile preferences
  • environment.md -- your platform, shell, and path configuration
  • .claude/settings.local.json -- local Claude Code permission overrides

The .example versions of these files (shipped with Genesis) may be updated to reflect new configuration options. After updating, check if the examples have new fields you might want to add to your own files.

Notes

  • This skill only updates Genesis itself, not projects previously generated by Genesis.
  • Previously generated projects are independent and unaffected by Genesis updates.
  • If the pull fails due to conflicts, explain the situation and suggest git stash or manual resolution.
