Use when the\n  user wants to define how the agent should work in specific situations.\n  Produces a file in _agent/ with name + description frontmatter.\n---\n\n# Form Primitive\n\nHelp the user create a reusable instruction that shapes how you work together. Not a Perspective (those have a specific three-component structure and are applied as a structured transformation). A primitive is any part of `_agent/` \u2014 a procedure, a checklist, a review pattern, a memory routine, whatever helps at that position.\n\n## The L1 Contract\n\nEvery primitive needs frontmatter with `name` and `description`. For an `_agent/skills/` entry, `name` is the portable skill id: it must match the flat-file stem or skill-directory name and use 1\u201364 lowercase ASCII letters, digits, or single hyphens (no leading, trailing, or consecutive hyphens). Put the human-readable title in the Markdown heading. The description tells the agent when to use it \u2014 like a trigger condition.\n\n```yaml\n---\nname: weekly-review\ndescription: >\n  Review the week\'s captures, surface patterns, update Now.\n  Use at the end of each week or when the user asks to reflect.\n---\n\n# Weekly Review\n```\n\nThe name identifies the skill across harnesses. The heading says what it is to a reader. The description says when to use it. All are required for a skill, and the description is how the agent decides "this is relevant right now."\n\n## Elicitation\n\nThe user knows what they want to make repeatable. They may not know how to structure it.\n\n1. **Start with the trigger.** "When does this happen? What situation makes you think \'I should do X\'?" This becomes the description.\n\n2. **Walk through a real instance.** "Last time you did this, what did you do step by step?" Real examples beat abstract procedures.\n\n3. **Find the invariant.** What stays the same every time vs what changes with context? The invariant is the instruction. The variable parts are what the agent adapts.\n\n4. **Draft and validate.** Show the primitive before saving. "If I followed this next time, would it produce the right behavior?"\n\n## Structure\n\nNo prescribed format. The content should be whatever makes the instruction clear and followable. Common patterns:\n\n**Procedural** \u2014 step by step:\n```markdown\n## When to use\n[trigger condition]\n\n## Steps\n1. ...\n2. ...\n3. ...\n\n## Output\n[what gets produced]\n```\n\n**Checklist** \u2014 verify against criteria:\n```markdown\n## Check\n- [ ] Does it have X?\n- [ ] Is Y consistent with Z?\n- [ ] Flag if A but not B.\n\n## If issues found\n[what to do]\n```\n\n**Routine** \u2014 recurring pattern:\n```markdown\n## Trigger\n[when this runs \u2014 weekly, on entering a position, on capture, etc.]\n\n## What to do\n[the routine]\n\n## What to capture\n[what Note or update to produce]\n```\n\n**Review** \u2014 evaluate something:\n```markdown\n## What to review\n[scope \u2014 a Note, a branch, a set of captures]\n\n## Criteria\n[what good looks like]\n\n## Output\n[Note with findings, or update to the reviewed content]\n```\n\nThe user can invent any structure. These are starting points, not requirements.\n\n## Where It Lives\n\nPrimitives go in `_agent/` at the level where they apply. Everything in `_agent/` composes along the path, root \u2192 current position:\n\n- `_agent/reviewer.md` at repo root \u2192 applies everywhere\n- `startups/_agent/due-diligence-checklist.md` \u2192 applies in startups/ and below\n- `clients/acme/_agent/communication-style.md` \u2192 applies when working on Acme\n\n## Creating Agents\n\nA full agent definition is not a special file \u2014 it is a **vantage-shaped space**: an ideaspace whose five-file `_agent/` contract *is* the character. When the user wants a specialized agent (not just an instruction), create a dedicated space (its own folder or repo) and write its contract:\n\n- `_agent/foundation.md` \u2014 what this agent is, its character, its boundaries. State plainly that the space is a vantage, not a subject: an agent launched here inhabits it.\n- `_agent/guide.md` \u2014 how work goes when inhabiting it.\n- `_agent/skills/` \u2014 the procedures this agent can repeat.\n- `_agent/purpose.md` and `_agent/now.md` \u2014 the agent\'s own direction, as they emerge.\n\nThe same loader that reads any space reads this one; no new file type, no separate agent format. Identity \u2014 a name others can select, address, and grant access to \u2014 is a platform concern layered on top of the shape, not a file in it.\n\nDo **not** create `soul.md` or `agent.md` \u2014 nothing loads them; character belongs in the contract files above. (`_agent/<agent-id>/` folders are per-agent working records inside a shared space, not agent definitions.)\n\n## What It Is NOT\n\n- **Not a Perspective.** Perspectives have Object Definition, Thinking Structure, Expected Outcome. They\'re applied as a structured transformation. If the user wants to evaluate/analyze things consistently, use the **form-perspective** skill instead.\n- **Not a Note.** Notes are knowledge \u2014 content that accumulates in the Space. Primitives are instructions \u2014 they shape how the agent works, not what the agent knows.\n- **Not guide.md.** The guide is general behavioral guidance for a branch. A primitive is a specific, named, reusable pattern with a trigger condition. Both live in `_agent/` \u2014 both are part of the shared understanding about how we work here.\n\n## Validation\n\nBefore saving, check:\n- Does it have `name` and `description` in frontmatter?\n- For a skill, does `name` match its file stem or directory and satisfy `^[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*$` within 64 characters?\n- Does the description clearly say when to use it?\n- Is the instruction clear enough that you could follow it without asking questions?\n- Would it produce consistent results across different situations?\n\nIf any of these fail, iterate with the user before persisting.\n',

The\n  top rung of the guidance ladder.\n---\n\n# The Bigger Picture\n\n## Knowledge is a process, not a pile\n\nMost knowledge tools store documents. The pile grows; the understanding doesn't. What a space\nholds instead is an **agreement** \u2014 the current state of what you and your collaborators hold to\nbe true, continuously revised as the work moves. The whiteboard is the visible edge of it: not a\ndescription written once, but a position that gets renegotiated whenever reality drifts.\n\nThat turns knowledge work into something an assistant can genuinely help with \u2014 not fetching\ndocuments, but **mapping and navigating**. Mapping: noticing what crystallized, naming it,\nplacing it where it belongs, keeping the summaries honest. Navigating: arriving anywhere in the\nspace and knowing what this place is about, what matters here, what to read next. You think; the\nmap stays current under you.\n\n## Many hands, one understanding\n\nBecause a space is a folder with an explicit agreement in it, it isn't tied to one assistant, one\ntool, or one session. Any agent that understands the shape can arrive, read the whiteboard, and\nwork \u2014 today's session, tomorrow's, a different assistant entirely, several at once in different\nrooms. Each one leaves the understanding better-organized than it found it, because keeping the\nagreement current is part of the work, not an afterthought.\n\nSessions stop being islands. What one conversation learns, every later one stands on.\n\n## Shared between people and agents\n\nThe same notes serve your colleague and your colleague's assistant. Share a space and you haven't\nsent someone a document to read top to bottom \u2014 you've handed them a body of understanding their\nown assistant can answer questions from. They ask what they need, take home what helps, and leave\nwhat they learned if you're working together.\n\nThat's the destination: not better note-taking, but understanding that compounds \u2014 across\nsessions, across tools, across the people and agents who share it. The re-explaining that eats\nevery collaboration is what this removes.\n\n## Going deeper\n\nThe precise shape that makes all of this portable \u2014 what a conformant space contains, how\nagreements compose, how identity survives sharing \u2014 is the protocol specification itself:\n`SPEC.md` in this repository, with the working protocols (`capture`, `writing`, `awareness`)\ncovering the day-to-day mechanics.\n",

+---
+
+# The Jobs
+
+Six things people actually do here. Say any of them in your own words \u2014 your assistant knows the
+way.
+
+## Keep a space
+
+Start a place for what you know: a knowledge base, notes on a topic, a vault for transcripts, a
+record of your team's numbers \u2014 or an assistant with a role. Say what you want to keep or who you
+want to work with, and the space gets set up around it \u2014 whiteboard included: the short note that
+says what this place is about and where things stand.
+
+## Save things
+
+"Save this." "Write that down." "Don't let me forget this." When something worth keeping comes
+out of the work \u2014 a decision, a finding, a piece of context \u2014 it becomes a note with a title and
+a summary, kept with everything else. Saving is instant; every version is preserved.
+
+## Catch up
+
+"Where were we?" "What's new here?" The whiteboard answers this. Your assistant reads it on
+arrival and can tell you where things stand, what's active, and what changed since you last
+looked \u2014 without you re-explaining anything.
+
+## Stay current
+
+When a space is shared with other people, their saved work and yours flow through the same
+place. Ask whether there's anything new, get the latest, send yours \u2014 so everyone is
+building on the same space, not on diverging copies.
+
+## Share it
+
+"Let her see this." "Share it with my team." "Make it public." You choose who gets in and how
+far: look around, take a copy home, or work on it together. Until you share, a space is yours
+alone \u2014 even one you've put online.
+
+## Take a copy home
+
+Someone shares a space with you \u2014 a guide, a body of research, a way of working \u2014 and you can
+keep your own copy and change it however you want, without your edits going back to them. What
+they shared keeps living; what you took becomes yours.

+  "guide-story": "---\nname: guide-story\ndescription: >\n  The plain story of what an ideaspace is, for a person who has never heard of\n  it \u2014 the workshop and the whiteboard, in everyday words. Use when someone\n  asks what is this, what does it do, or wants it explained simply. The first\n  rung of the guidance ladder; each rung ends with where to go deeper.\n---\n\n# The Story\n\n## The problem it solves\n\nRight now, everything you and your assistant work out together lives in a chat window. Next\nsession, it's gone. You explain your context again. And again. The thinking survives, but the\nunderstanding doesn't.\n\n## The idea\n\nA **space** is a folder on your computer that holds two things: your stuff, and a short note\nexplaining what this place is about.\n\nThink of a well-run workshop. There's the work itself \u2014 the projects on the bench. And there's a\nwhiteboard by the door: what we're building, why, what's in progress right now, what's next.\nAnyone who walks in reads the whiteboard and can be useful in five minutes, without you stopping\nto brief them.\n\nThe folder is the workshop. The whiteboard is the part that makes it a space.\n\n## Why it matters\n\nThe whiteboard means your assistant arrives already knowing where things stand. You stop being\nthe person who has to remember and re-explain everything.\n\n## Four things worth knowing\n\n- **Rooms can have their own whiteboards.** A folder inside a folder can add its own notes \u2014\n  specific to that corner of the work, inheriting the rest. The deeper you go, the more specific\n  it gets.\n- **Writing things down is deliberate.** When you work something out together, it becomes a note\n  with a title and a one-line summary \u2014 so later, you or your assistant can tell what's in it\n  without opening it. Saving what you asked for happens right away; your assistant checks with\n  you before anything leaves your machine.\n- **Nothing is thrown away.** Every version is kept, so you can always look back at what changed\n  and when.\n- **It's yours, on your machine.** Ordinary files on your own computer, no account required.\n  Putting it online, sharing it with someone, reaching it from another computer \u2014 all optional,\n  added later if you want them.\n\n## How to start\n\nYou don't design a space up front. You capture one real thing, then another, and the structure\nappears from what's actually there. The instinct to plan the folders first is the wrong one.\n\n---\n\n*Want to know what you can actually do here? Read `guide-jobs` next.*\n",
+  "guide-working": '---\nname: guide-working\ndescription: >\n  How working in an ideaspace actually goes \u2014 the daily rhythm, asking in your\n  own words, and when the assistant acts instantly versus shows a plan and\n  waits. Use when someone asks how do I use this, what\'s the workflow, or why\n  the assistant did or didn\'t check first. The third rung of the guidance\n  ladder.\n---\n\n# Working Here\n\n## The rhythm\n\nA session has a natural shape, and none of it needs managing:\n\n1. **Arrive.** The whiteboard is read for you. Your assistant starts oriented \u2014 what this place\n   is, what\'s active, what changed since last time.\n2. **Work.** Think, write, research, build \u2014 the ordinary work, in the ordinary way.\n3. **Save at the right moments.** When something crystallizes, say "save this" \u2014 or your\n   assistant offers, once, at a natural pause. Not every thought gets saved; understanding\n   settles at boundaries, not per message.\n4. **Wrap.** At the end of meaningful work, the whiteboard gets updated if direction moved \u2014 so\n   the next session (yours, or anyone\'s) arrives oriented.\n\n## Ask in your own words\n\nThere is no command language to learn. "Save this." "Where were we?" "Share it with Anna."\n"Put this online." "Anything new from the team?" Your assistant maps what you say to what the\nspace can do. The jobs in `guide-jobs` are the vocabulary \u2014 but your phrasing is fine.\n\n## When it acts, and when it checks\n\nOne rule governs everything: **the more an action can reach beyond your machine, the more\ndeliberately it happens.**\n\n- **Working and drafting** \u2014 silent. No ceremony for ordinary edits.\n- **Saving what you asked for** \u2014 instant, then narrated: "Saved the pricing decision." A save is\n  one step from undone, so it doesn\'t interrupt you to ask twice.\n- **Anything that leaves your machine** \u2014 putting a space online, making it public, sharing it\n  with someone \u2014 always shows you the plan first: exactly what would happen, before anything\n  does. Nothing outward runs until you\'ve seen it and said yes.\n\nIf your assistant ever seems to hesitate before an outward step, that\'s this rule working \u2014 not\nuncertainty.\n\n## Where structure comes from\n\nDon\'t build empty folders for a future you imagine. Save real things; move them when a shape\nsuggests itself; let rooms grow their own whiteboards when a corner of the work develops its own\ndirection. The space ends up organized the way the work actually went \u2014 which is the organization\nthat helps.\n\n---\n\n*Curious where this leads \u2014 spaces shared across people and their assistants? Read\n`guide-bigger-picture`. For the operating detail your assistant follows, the working protocols\nsit beside this ladder: `capture` (how saving works), `writing` (how notes are written),\n`awareness` (how orientation stays current).*\n',

Use when: a new folder has no _agent/, the user\n  asks what this place is for, purpose or now feel stale, or the\n  shared understanding needs renegotiating.\n---\n\n# Guide\n\n`_agent/` is how we work here, as far as we've figured it out.\nFoundation, guide, purpose, now, next \u2014 when any of them contradict\ncurrent practice, or go silent on something we keep doing \u2014 surface\nit. Propose an update. The understanding maintains itself through use.\n\n## What to pay attention to\n\nEvery position has dimensions that shape how we work here:\n\n| Dimension | File | The question |\n|---|---|---|\n| What is this place | README.md | Does the contract match what's actually here? |\n| Why does it exist | `_agent/purpose.md` | Clear direction, or still emerging? |\n| What's active | `_agent/now.md` | Concrete and current, or stale? |\n| What's queued | `_agent/next.md` | Identified, even if vague? |\n| How we work here | `_agent/guide.md` | Scope-specific, beyond foundation? |\n\nNot every position needs all of them.

The guide posture is background\nawareness \u2014 you notice the state of these dimensions while doing\nother things. When a gap matters, you feel it: the user is making\ndecisions without a purpose to anchor them, or now describes work\nthat's already done. That's when to surface it.\n\n## When a position is fresh\n\nStart with the user, not the system. \"What kind of work happens\nhere?\" \u2014 not \"Let me set up your _agent/ folder.\"\n\nCapture something real first. The best onboarding is a Note that\nmatters, sitting in a directory that makes sense. Structure follows\ncontent. One branch, one real thing. Depth follows use, not planning.\n\nWhen you have enough signal about what this place is \u2014 propose.\nPreview before writing. The user confirms, edits, or starts smaller.\nNothing writes without agreement.\n\n## The readiness check\n\nBefore every capture \u2014 writing a Note, updating purpose, creating\na README \u2014 pause. \"I'm about to commit X. Is this what you mean?\"\n\nThe readiness check is the anti-hallucination primitive. Hallucination\nis what happens when either side commits before both are ready.\n\n## What this guide does not cover\n\nTools self-describe. Domain skills (founder, vc, research) add their\nown structure. Platform setup (auth, hooks, sync) is handled by\nsetup skills. This guide is about shared understanding \u2014 how you\nand the user figure out what this place is and keep that agreement\nhonest.\n",
