| description | Use when the user wants the full package on a repo, says run my project workflow, project check-in, or is overwhelmed opening an old or new folder. Runs the project onboarding checklistâexplain-new-project, project-worth-my-time, and project-catch-upâin order or on demand. |

Project Workflow
One sentence
One ask â the right steps in order â three files on disk + a short chat summary.
Pick a path first (routing)
| User means⊠| Run |
|---|
| New folder / âwhat is this?â / guide only | Step 1 only â explain-new-project |
| âWorth my time?â / build vs buy | Step 2 â project-worth-my-time (read PROJECT_GUIDE.md first if it exists) |
| âIâm back after a whileâ / whatâs new | Step 3 â project-catch-up |
| âFull workflowâ / âcheck-inâ / âdo everythingâ | Steps 1 â 2 â 3 in order (unless skip rules below) |
| Unclear | Default: full (1 â 2 â 3) |
Same audience as the other skills: self-taught, plain language, Learn: for jargon.
What each step saves
| Step | Skill | File |
|---|
| 1 | explain-new-project | PROJECT_GUIDE.md |
| 2 | project-worth-my-time | PROJECT_VERDICT.md |
| 3 | project-catch-up | PROJECT_CATCH_UP.md |
Before you start
- Confirm project root (workspace folder or path user names).
- Glance at which
PROJECT_*.md files already existâreport in chat, then follow skip rules or user request.
Execute
For each step you run: read that skillâs SKILL.md and follow it completely (do not shorten sub-skills).
- Step 2 uses Pieces MCP (
user-pieces: get_user_persona, ask_pieces_ltm) when available.
- Step 3 uses web search when available.
Do not ask permission to save filesâsub-skills always save.
Skip rules
| User says | Skip |
|---|
| guide only / step 1 only | 2 and 3 |
| no verdict / no worth | 2 |
| no catch-up | 3 |
| verdict only | 1 if PROJECT_GUIDE.md exists and is usable; else run 1 first |
| catch-up only | 1 if guide missing; else skip 1 and 2 |
| File already exists | Default |
|---|
| All three fresh enough | Ask once: Re-run all three or only whatâs missing? If user said full workflow, re-run all (overwrite). |
| User said full workflow | Overwrite all three |
After you finish â chat reply (keep short)
Use this checklist in the reply:
Done:
- [ ] PROJECT_GUIDE.md â paste "In one minute" + "How you run it"
- [ ] PROJECT_VERDICT.md â paste Quick verdict + What I'd do (if ran step 2)
- [ ] PROJECT_CATCH_UP.md â paste Headline + Do these first (if ran step 3)
Files saved at: [project root path]
If a step was skipped, say which and why.
Prerequisites
| Need | For |
|---|
| Write access to project root | All steps |
PiecesOS + the pieces MCP server configured in your agent | Step 2 (ok to skip Pieces if downâsay so) |
| Web search | Step 3 |
What not to do
- Do not inline the full text of the three skillsâdelegate to them.
- Do not run step 2 or 3 without project context (guide or quick explore per sub-skill).
- Do not add a fourth combined markdown file.

- The Pieces MCP server name can differ between agents (often
pieces or user-pieces). Use whichever name your coding agent exposes; the flow is identical.
