Choose the job in front of you.
6 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Capture Purpose Filter
Use this workflow when an inbox, task list, or note system is filling with interesting material and vague projects, and each item must be tied to a future action, a specific decision, useful reference at work time, or deliberate release.
Output Return a processed-capture ledger, concrete project and next-action rewrites, decision questions, reference destinations, released items, current priority judgment, missing evidence, and processing rule.
Notes to Output Pipeline
Use this workflow when saved quotes, observations, meeting fragments, links, and annotations must become a strategy memo, brief, scorecard, board update, postmortem, decision record, or draft instead of remaining an inert collection.
Output Return a defined artifact and reader, processed-note ledger, use statements, artifact cluster, evidence and gap map, structured draft, source checks, disposition, and next action.
Retrieval First Knowledge System
Use this workflow when a growing note collection is hard to navigate, PARA or another taxonomy consumes maintenance, duplicate copies undermine trust, or notes cannot be understood and found at the moment of work.
Output Return a retrieval-use map, boundary and link rules, duplicate disposition, note-context standard, audit findings, repair actions, and lightweight maintenance cadence.
System Decay Triage
Use this workflow when a personal productivity or knowledge system has drifted from current work, reviews are slowing, next actions are missing, retrieval is failing, or a crash has produced an intimidating backlog and a choice between bounded recovery and structural rebuild.
Output Return an immediate stabili
Thinking to Artifact Session
Use this workflow when processing, messages, meetings, and system maintenance are displacing a hard judgment call, and uninterrupted attention must be protected around a clear question and a visible thinking artifact without pretending insight is a checkbox.
Output Return the framed question, selected artifact, bounded context pack, session contract, working artifact, evidence and uncertainty labels, decision or learning milestone, and resumption state.
Weekly Review Protocol
Use this workflow when a personal operating system needs a short, repeatable weekly reset that clears physical and digital commitments, restores next actions and waiting loops, trims irrelevant reading, and names the week’s most important outcomes without turning maintenance into planning.
Output Return a cleared-capture summary, updated projects and next actions, waiting follow-ups, recovered commitments, trimmed reading queue, three to five weekly outcomes, deferred thinking questions, and health signals.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
