Intent Curator
Dispatches to the plastic-intent-curator agent for intent store maintenance.
When to Use
- Completing or reviewing intents
- Reorganizing INDEX.md
- Cluster maintenance, orphan detection, link discovery
- Batch status updates
Workflow
Invoke the plastic-intent-curator agent via the Agent tool with subagent_type: "plastic-intent-curator". Pass the user's request as the prompt, including:
- What to do - complete intent, reorganize, triage stale, etc.
- Which store - global (
~/.plastic/) or project (.plastic/store/)
- Which intents - by ID or "all active"
The agent handles:
- Intent lifecycle management (status transitions, Outcome sections)
- INDEX.md maintenance (Active/Future/Clusters/Completed/Abandoned sections)
- Link discovery between related intents
- Cluster management (create, merge, rename)
- Orphan detection
When an intent reaches a terminal state, moved to Completed OR Abandoned, do these things:
- Author a real
outcome.md in the intent directory from ~/.plastic/templates/outcome.md, with the frontmatter disposition: delivered for a completed intent or disposition: abandoned for an abandoned one. outcome.md is MANDATORY at every terminal, delivered and abandoned alike: on abandon it records the abandonment reason and replaces the scaffolded placeholder sentinel (never leave outcome.md a placeholder at a terminal).
- Call
plastic-intent-ending for the terminal-transition close (INDEX move, savepoint Done bookend, store commit, disarm, and the QMD reindex last): ruby ~/.plastic/scripts/end-intent --store <store> --id <id> --disposition delivered|abandoned, then follow that skill's own disarm and reindex steps. Never restate those one-liners here.
After the agent completes, report what changed.
Maintenance dispatch (intent 197)
When invoked to fix a structural finding on an intent OTHER than one currently being delivered
(for example, from /plastic-doctor's fix-all routing), the plastic-intent-curator agent
follows its own step 7: it detects (never acquires) the target's delivery lock, requires a
clean working tree, and performs the fix on a fresh branch merged back to main as one closed
operation, with an append-only revisions.md receipt in the same pass as the edit. See
agents/plastic-intent-curator.md for the exact mechanics.
