Automate me

A guided flow for turning the user's working conventions into a skill agents will follow. The output is one -mode skill tailored to them (e.g. jay-mode, priya-mode).

This skill orchestrates three others: an inline mining pass (see step 1), the harness's skill-authoring helper where one exists (authoring), and the unslop skill (prose discipline). It sequences them; it doesn't replace them.

Flow

0. Check for an existing skill

Look recursively for *-mode/SKILL.md files matching the user's handle in the harness's skill locations, project and user level, per the harness skill. Mode skills can live in a personal category directory, not only at the top level. If one exists, confirm intent with the harness's ask-user operation (unless they already said "update my skill" or similar):

• Update the existing skill (default for repeat runs)
• Start fresh (rare; ask why before doing it)

Update mode changes the rest of the flow:

• Step 1 mines only history since the skill was last edited (git log -1 --format=%cI <path>).
• Step 2 asks what's changed or missing, not what to capture from zero.
• Step 4 edits the existing file in place. Preserve sections the user hasn't contradicted; revise ones with new evidence; add new sections only for genuinely new rules.
