nervepack

Sync ~/Code/nervepack with origin/main using strict-safe semantics (fast-forward only; never auto-rebase or autostash). Use when the user says "sync nervepack", "pull nervepack", "what's new in nervepack", when starting work after a known cron run, or when the SessionStart status file reports anything other than "up to date".

Single entry point for capturing something worth remembering. Classifies the input as durable (→ nervepack repo) or session-scoped (→ local Claude memory store) and routes it to the right destination. Use when the user says "capture this", "remember this", "save this learning", "/capture", or "/learn" — any phrasing that signals "this is worth keeping" without specifying where.

Capture a new durable learning (rule, preference, plugin choice, environment quirk, useful command) into the correct nervepack file. Use when the user says "remember this in nervepack", "save to nervepack", "add this to my AI context", "save this to the team layer", or whenever you notice a fact worth keeping across sessions.

Send a task or a handoff to a fresh agent and supervise it. Use when you want another agent to carry out work — executing a [[np-core-handoff]] doc, running a long/risky job, or parallelizing — especially when you tried to "continue" a previously spawned agent and the SendMessage capability isn't available in this environment. Covers the spawn-fresh-with-context fallback, scoping, stop-points, and verification. The dispatch half of the continuity pair with [[np-core-handoff]] (handoff writes the doc; dispatch sends it).

Pull episodic working-memory themes ("what we did / decided / where we left off") from nervepack's episodic/ layer on demand. Use when the user says "/recall", "what did we do on X", "remind me where we left off on Y", or wants prior-session context that wasn't auto-injected. Read-only — episodic is the lowest-authority layer; durable skills/sources/wiki override it.

Turn Nervepack features on/off and adjust their settings. Use when the user says "toggle off X", "disable memory/lessons/the evaluator/the directive", "turn X back on", "what nervepack features are on", or wants to change a param like the sync interval. Wraps engine/setup/nervepack-toggle.sh.

Gate a branch merge on concurrent work finishing, then decide clean-vs-issues. Use when another agent/session/cron is operating on the same repo (a worktree-agent, a cloud routine, a teammate) and you want to merge a branch without colliding — wait for the repo to go quiet, then merge if the diff is clean or ask the user how to proceed if there are conflicts or forbidden trailers. Trigger phrases: "wait to merge", "merge when the other branch finishes", "is it safe to merge yet".

Run and interpret nervepack's health check (np-doctor.sh) — when to use it, what each check means, how to fix FAIL/WARN results. Use post-install, after moving the repo, when a nervepack feature stops working, or when the user says "run the doctor" / "check nervepack health" / "/np-doctor".

Launch or open the nervepack performance dashboard on demand, and explain its SessionStart auto-open behavior. Use when the user says "open the dashboard", "launch the nervepack dashboard", "show me the metrics", "/np-dashboard", or asks "why didn't the dashboard launch / open on session start". Covers the manual open path, the once-per-boot SessionStart guard, served (http) vs static (file://) modes, and the dashboard_open / dashboard_serve / dashboard_port toggles.

Install/onboard nervepack onto this machine for whatever agentic host you are (Claude Code, Goose, OpenHands, Cline, Continue, …) by reading the tool-neutral onboard contract, wiring the host yourself, and verifying with the doctor. Use when setting up nervepack on a new machine/host, when the user says "/np-onboard" or "onboard nervepack" / "set up nervepack here", or when np-doctor reports MUST failures.

Triage the nervepack performance dashboard's accumulated evaluator suggestions — rank the open ones, decide which to implement (with reasoning), then clear the slate so new suggestions accumulate fresh. Use when the user says "review nervepack suggestions", "evaluate the evaluator/dashboard suggestions", "which suggestions should we build", "clear the suggestions", "/np-suggestions", or after a stretch of sessions when the Suggestions panel has filled up. Tool-agnostic: works from any host (Claude Code, Goose, a terminal); the dashboard's served-mode buttons are the GUI shortcut for the same flow.

Compact the current conversation into a handoff document a fresh agent can pick up from — written to the OS temp dir (never the repo), with a suggested-skills section and any secrets/PII redacted. Use when the user says "/handoff", "hand this off", "write a handoff", or "summarize this for the next session"; when context is about to run out or before a compact; or when switching agents/machines mid-task. Pairs with [[np-core-recall]] (its inverse — recall pulls prior context back; handoff pushes it forward).
