Use on Day 1 of an AIS-OS install, when someone says "set me up", "onboard me", "let's get started", "fill in my AIOS", or has just cloned the kit. Combined wizard — runs the 7-question intake AND scaffolds the Day-1 file set at the end. Idempotent — re-run any time after editing aios-intake.md.

Use when the user faces a real decision with stakes and wants it framed cleanly — options, ranked criteria, a recommendation, the falsifier, and reversibility — then logged to decisions/log.md. Trigger on "/decide", "help me decide", "should I X or Y", "frame this decision", "what's the call here", "log this decision".

Use when the user needs a written communication drafted in their voice — an email, a Slack/Teams message, a team update, an announcement, a reply to a thread, or a post. Produces a ready-to-review draft matching references/voice.md; never auto-sends external. Trigger on "/draft", "draft an email", "write a reply", "draft the update", "draft the announcement", "respond to this thread in my voice".

Use when the user has a meeting, call, 1:1, a person to meet, or a decision coming up and needs to walk in prepared. Assembles a one-page brief from context/, wiki/, connections, open loops, and the knowledge graph — who · what · goal · history · open loops · the ask · risks. Trigger on "/prep", "prep me for", "brief me on <person/meeting>", "what do I need to know before", "get me ready for".

Use when the user brings an external source worth keeping — a URL, a paper, a tweet/thread, a blog post, a docs page — and wants it pulled into the second brain. Fetches the source into the git-ignored capture inbox, admits it to the committed wiki through the admission policy, then refreshes the knowledge graph so it joins the rest of your thinking. Trigger on "/graph-ingest", "ingest this url", "add this paper to my knowledge", "add this tweet/page to my knowledge", "capture this source".

Use when the user asks a question about how things in the codebase or wiki relate — what connects two things, how something works end to end, what depends on what, or what a concept means in this repo. Answers from the knowledge graph in graphify-out/graph.json, with source-location citations. Trigger on "/graph-query", "ask the graph", "what connects X to Y", "trace how X works", "explain <concept> from the graph", "shortest path between".

Use when the user wants to build, refresh, or visualize the repo's knowledge graph — code structure plus the committed wiki/ — via graphify. Produces an interactive graph + a GRAPH_REPORT.md of God Nodes, surprising connections, and suggested questions. Trigger on "/graph", "build the knowledge graph", "graph the repo", "map the codebase", "refresh the graph", "visualize the second brain".

First-run guided setup for a fresh gAIOS clone. Interviews the user (identity, role, priorities, voice, connections, team, pain, guardrails) and fills the templates — CLAUDE.md, context/, references/voice.md, connections.md — then introduces the WAT / wiki / workflows / experiments features. Trigger on "/setup", "set me up", "get started", "onboard me", or a fresh clone where CLAUDE.md still has {{placeholders}}.

Use at the start of a working day (or when the user asks "what should I focus on today / give me my brief / daily standup"). Produces a one-screen daily brief — today's top 3, open loops that need a nudge, what's slipping, and a suggested focus order. Trigger on "/daily", "daily brief", "what should I focus on today", "morning brief", "standup".

Use when the user dumps a batch of inputs at once — a pile of emails, a backlog of Slack/Teams messages, a list of asks, meeting action items, a notes brain-dump — and needs it sorted into action. Classifies each item, assigns owner + next step + priority, and flags which need a full /structure brief or a /decide call. Trigger on "/triage", "triage this", "process my inbox", "sort these asks", "clear my backlog", "what do I do with all this".

Use for a weekly operating review (Friday wrap or Monday plan) — review progress against the 90-day priorities, surface stalled open loops, and set next week's focus. This is the PERSONAL operating review; distinct from /audit (checks the kit's connections/freshness) and /level-up (finds one automation to build). Trigger on "/weekly", "weekly review", "weekly planning", "how did this week go", "plan my week".

Use weekly to find and ship one new automation. Walks the 3Ms interview — Mindset (find the candidate) → Method (scope one) → Machine (build it). Trigger on "let's level up", "what should I automate next", "find me leverage this week", or as a Friday ritual. One run = one shipped artifact.

Template skill for a leadership-transition / executive cockpit — when someone steps into or covers a leadership role and needs to not drop anything. Produces a handoff doc + decision-rights map, an "open loops" tracker, a team-comms cadence, and a recurring report/update drafter. Trigger on "/exec-cockpit", "handoff doc", "decision-rights map", "open loops tracker", "cover for <role>", "interim <role>". Customize the placeholders to your situation.

Use to run an autoresearch-style experiment loop — improve a measurable artifact by trying changes, measuring against one objective metric, keeping if better and reverting if not, on an isolated git branch with a logged trail. Trigger on "/experiment", "run an experiment loop", "autoresearch X", "tune/optimize X against a metric", "hill-climb X". Follows references/sops/experiment-loop.md. Enforces the autonomy gate (objective metric + reversible sandbox + no PHI/external) before any unsupervised looping.

Use when the user brings any fuzzy, half-formed, or interrupt-driven input — an order from a boss, a forwarded email thread, a ticket, a chat message, a "can you look into X", a raw idea — and it needs framing before work starts. Turns the input into a structured brief (Context · Desired outcome · Goal · Owner · Next step · Decision needed). This is the AIOS's front door; run most things through it first. Trigger on "/structure", "frame this", "what's the actual ask here", "structure this", or any vague task that lacks a defined outcome.

Use to run the second-brain loop — turn captures in raw/ into clean, cross-linked knowledge in wiki/, and to answer questions from past thinking. Trigger on "/wiki", "process my raw notes", "update the wiki", "add this to my brain/wiki", "what did I think about X", "what do my notes say about X". Follows references/sops/wiki-translate.md. Enforces the admission policy: no PHI, no live financials, no secrets in the committed wiki.

Use to run a dynamic, goal-driven workflow — orchestrate a multi-step goal by composing skills, tools, and MCPs, with a quality gate and verification at each step. Trigger on "/workflow", "run the <name> workflow", "orchestrate X", or a multi-step recurring goal ("draft the investor update", "give me my morning brief"). Follows references/sops/dynamic-workflows.md and the wf-*.md cards. Respects the autonomy/cadence gate (auto on reversible/internal, draft-then-approve on external/regulated).
