| name | aoa-session-harvest |
| description | Use only when a literal ref to a closed/reviewed session packet is supplied, to extract, classify, propose promotion or branching, or identify an automation opportunity. Missing, live, or unreviewed evidence must fail closed without inventing a ref. Natural closeout preservation belongs to aoa-memo-writeback. Do not use for generic summaries, progression, direct owner writes, scheduling, mutation, or telemetry authority. |
aoa-session-harvest
Intent
Metabolize reviewed experience without collapsing extraction, object
classification, promotion, route choice, and automation readiness into one
generic candidate label. Destination owners retain all acceptance authority.
Trigger boundary
Use this skill when:
- an explicitly reviewed, bounded session/evidence packet contains reusable
units, an isolated unit needs owner or promotion judgment, several next routes
must remain visible, or a repeated manual route needs automation triage
- the same extraction or promotion is explicitly requested from live,
unreviewed, or unbounded material and the only valid result is
blocked_unreviewed_evidence before a mode loads
Do not use this skill when:
- the request is generic summarization, progression scoring, memo writeback,
runtime repair, or direct owner writing, promotion, scheduling, delegation,
or mutation
- the request starts from ordinary work/closeout evidence and asks whether a
bounded lesson should be preserved for future owner work; that first
writeback judgment belongs to
aoa-memo-writeback, even if the answer might
later resemble a candidate classification
Inputs
- reviewed evidence boundary and at least one literal supplied ref,
closure/review posture, one mode intent,
relevant owner constraints, risks, effects, and optional checkpoint/handoff
hints that have not yet been trusted; or an attempted live/unreviewed input
used only to return the pre-mode block
Outputs
- one typed session-local result from
references/contract.yaml, with evidence
refs, owner hints, rejected nearest route, effect none, stop line, and
destination-owner review requirement; or blocked_unreviewed_evidence
Procedure
| Mode | Use when | Reference |
|---|
extract | Reusable units and unresolved residue have not been isolated. | references/extract.md |
classify | One unit needs its object kind, owner, and next artifact classified. | references/classify.md |
promote | Exactly one isolated repeated quest-shaped unit needs a final promotion verdict. | references/promote.md |
branch | Several materially different continuations must stay visible. | references/branch.md |
automation-opportunity | A repeated manual route needs readiness and highest-honest-mode classification. | references/automation-opportunity.md |
Mode: extract
Read and follow references/extract.md.
Mode: classify
Read and follow references/classify.md.
Mode: promote
Read and follow references/promote.md.
Mode: branch
Read and follow references/branch.md.
Mode: automation-opportunity
Read and follow references/automation-opportunity.md.
- Read
references/contract.yaml. Confirm that the request or supplied packet
contains at least one literal evidence ref; never infer, normalize, or mint
a missing packet/session identifier. Then inspect only enough of that exact
evidence boundary to verify explicit review/closure.
- If a literal ref, review/closure, or a bounded evidence source is missing,
return
blocked_unreviewed_evidence without loading any mode reference.
- Choose exactly one mode and read only its reference to EOF.
- Execute exactly one mode. Later modes are typed handoffs and require a new
selection; they are not an automatic pipeline.
Contracts
- candidates and refs remain session-local until an owner accepts a handoff
- extraction, classification, promotion, automation, execution, progression,
telemetry, and durable owner writes are separate effects
- hints, receipts, counts, and route cards never become evidence or authority
merely by appearing in a reviewed packet
- technique records may explain lineage but are not runtime dependencies
Risks and anti-patterns
- mining a live transcript, universalizing one success, or turning themes and
frustration into reusable units
- inventing or normalizing a packet/session ref that was not literally supplied
- forcing every repeated unit into a skill or every automation candidate into
a scheduler/playbook
- treating quest, receipt, progression, stats, routing, KAG, or owner state as
procedure output
Verification
- trace every result to reviewed refs and disposition stale/cross-session hints
- confirm one mode, typed output, owner, rejected nearest target, effects, and
stop line
- confirm no owner file, quest, memory, route, KAG, telemetry, schedule, or
runtime state changed
Adaptation points
Sessions supply reviewed packets and evidence boundaries. Destination owners
supply intake, promotion, automation, progression, and artifact contracts.
