project-brain
by Ethan-YS
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to set up, resume, update, or hand off persistent project context for AI-assisted work. Triggers (all require an explicit user request — do NOT activate just because a brain/ folder exists): (1) The user wants to set up project-level memory ("set up project brain", "scaffold project context", "init project brain", "建项目脑"). (2) The user is in a directory containing brain/ AND explicitly asks to resume / continue / load the project / check status / "what's the state of this project". (3) The user signals window switch / context compaction ("switch windows", "context's getting full", "I'll head out", "压缩了") — write a HANDOFF before they leave. (4) The user says "update the project brain" / "let's record this" / "更新项目脑" — propose a list with reasons; user approves per item. Do NOT auto-activate during casual conversation that happens to occur inside a brain/-bearing directory. The methodology's "activation boundary" requires an explicit user request. This skill provides a folder structure (brain/), copy-able templates for multiple AI tools, and a four-workflow protocol (startup / kick-off / update / handoff). Methodology details in METHODOLOGY.md alongside this file.
