bearings

name	bearings
description	Generate a "pick up where I left off" fleet digest from firstmate's live fleet state. Use when the captain invokes /bearings or asks for a bearings report, morning brief, status report, catch-up, "where did I leave off", or "what's in the works". Plain /bearings is chat-only by default, while /bearings file explicitly writes the dated data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md artifact; live PR enrichment remains opt-in and composes with file mode.

bearings

Generate a complete current snapshot from the fleet's current state, so the captain can resume in one read after a break, a night, or a context reset. Plain /bearings returns only the concise four-section chat digest. Only /bearings file writes the dated markdown report artifact and then returns the concise four-section chat digest linked to that report. This skill is operationally read-only in both modes. It never tears down a task, merges a PR, dispatches new work, steers a worker, answers a decision, cleans up work, mutates backlog or task state, or writes any file except the single dated report in explicit file mode.

Invocation modes

• Plain /bearings gathers a fresh bounded snapshot and renders the four-section chat digest without creating, deleting, reading, or replacing data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md.
• /bearings file gathers a fresh bounded snapshot, replaces today's data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md from scratch, and renders the four-section chat digest with a link or path to that report.
