Based on SOC occupation classification
The capsule verb, invoked explicitly — reconcile from the live memory, write a resume-ready capsule, then stop. Mid-session checkpoint or completion capsule; a rolling best-effort version of the same write also runs automatically on every Stop event via daemons/stop-capsule-writer.mjs.
The resume verb, invoked explicitly — load the newest valid capsule by created_at, re-ground against live memory, then ACT on waiting_on. Mid-session or on explicit ask; the post-clear boot fires the same procedure automatically via daemons/resume-verb.mjs.
Run the volunteering ledger before declaring work done. Forces surfacing of what changed/didn't, what was noticed-but-not-fixed, what was guessed, and what tradeoffs were made on the principal's behalf. The standard - the principal should never be surprised later by something the agent knew at the time.
Capture a confident agent claim (Phase 1) or resolve one as right/wrong (Phase 2) in vault/memory/TRUST_DECAY.md. Builds the longitudinal record of agent calibration over time. Pairs with /honesty-check (which should reduce Phase 1 frequency) and /diagnose (which surfaces causes that often reveal Phase 2 events).
One evidence-gated pass that sequences /dream, /reconcile, /sweep-now, and /digest over your own vault, with a /system-check gate and a ledger-review pass over the measurement layer (Honesty Ledger, Trust Decay, Failure Modes). Stays exactly as human-gated as the legs it calls -- stages, never auto-applies. Skips a leg gracefully when there is nothing to do; every leg that runs leaves an evidence line.
Dispatch Hestia to run all 3 vault sweeps (DELEGATION_TRACKER stale items, HEAT_INDEX dormant flips, broken wikilinks) and append the result to HESTIA_SWEEP_LOG.

Deprecated. This skill is superseded by [[skills/resume/SKILL.md|/resume]] (docs/two-verb-lifecycle.md). New installs should reach for
/resume; this file stays for anyone still invoking/openby habit during the transition.
Run this at the start of every normal working session.
Before the normal protocol, read .aigent/state.json.
status is not ready, run /start instead of the normal open protocol..aigent/first-run-done exists, treat the installation as ready and create the JSON state as a compatibility migration.system/00_identity.md. Product state belongs in machine-readable state, not in whether a sentence happens to survive an edit.Unbanked-session recovery: Compare .aigent/last-close, if present, with the newest Session Captures in vault/daily/. If newer captures exist, recover a short summary into vault/memory/SESSION_LOG.md, mark it (auto-recovered), and continue. State the recovery in one neutral line.
vault/memory/HEAT_INDEX.json when present. Use hot_top_20 as the prioritized reading list. If missing, use steps 2 through 6 normally.vault/daily/.vault/memory/SESSION_LOG.md and extract the newest next action and open threads.vault/memory/ACTIVE_PRIORITIES.md.vault/memory/DELEGATION_TRACKER.md for blocked, stale, or review-ready work.vault/memory/DECISION_LOG.md and vault/memory/DECISION_OUTCOMES.md. Surface at most three unresolved decisions around 30, 60, or 90 days old.vault/daily/ with intended focus in vault/memory/ACTIVE_PRIORITIES.md. Surface material drift only.memory/SKILL_GAPS.md. If an open gap is older than seven days, run /skill-hunt on the oldest one and update the ledger if resolved.python3 "$AIGENT_ROOT/daemons/runtime/update-active-state.py"
vault/memory/runtime/ACTIVE_STATE.json. Use next_valid_action, blocked_items, active reflexes, and mode to orient the session./reconcile and surface contradictions only.Give a brief greeting, then surface only:
If nothing needs flagging, greet the operator and let them drive. Do not dump a full priority report merely because the files exist.
