curiosity-stack

Activate when user wants to find actual companies in a value chain layer, especially Indian proxies for global themes. Always check connected sources first. Always apply SEBI compliance — research framing only.

Activate after every completed decomposition to offer saving. Activate when user says "save this", "add to library", "show my library", "what have I researched", "past decompositions", "have I done this before", or starts a decomposition on a topic that may already exist in the library. Always check library/ folder silently at the start of any new decomposition.

Manages the user's personal domain knowledge registry — company intelligence seeded per sector that the India Proxy Agent uses before searching. Activates when user runs /curiosity-stack:knowledge, says "manage my domain knowledge", "add company to my knowledge", or clicks the "missed company" add form after an India Proxy Agent run. Also activates after any India Proxy Agent output to surface the inline add prompt.

Activate when a user selects their output format after completing a decomposition. Generates exactly one of: Value Chain diagram, interactive Mindmap, Research Note, or Research Brief PDF. Never generate all — only what was selected. Always include SEBI disclaimer, attribution badge, and invisible source comment.

Activate after every completed decomposition to generate 5 curated reading recommendations specific to the topic and layers explored. Also activate when user asks "what should I read", "where do I go deeper", "give me links", "reading list", or "resources on this".

Activate when user says "I don't know what to research", "give me ideas", "what can I decompose", "show me scenarios", "browse topics", "not sure where to start", "what topics are available", or runs /curiosity-stack:scenarios. Also activate on first session if local.md session_count is 0 or empty — surface the library automatically after the welcome message. Never activate mid-decomposition.

ALWAYS active. Apply to every single response, every output, every command in this plugin. This skill takes absolute priority over all other skills. Never disabled, never overridden. Intercept and redirect any request that crosses into investment advice territory.

Activate when user runs /curiosity-stack:stress-test or says "stress test this", "challenge this thesis", "what could go wrong", "bull vs bear", or after a decomposition output when user wants to pressure-test their conclusion.

Activate when Cowork is opened and watchlist monitoring cadence has elapsed. Activate when user says "check my watchlist", "what's new on my watchlist", "run watchlist", "any updates", "watchlist digest", or configures monitoring via /curiosity-stack:watchlist command. ALSO activate immediately — opening the watchlist UI — when user says any of: "add to watchlist", "add this to watchlist", "watch this", "monitor this", "put this on my watchlist", "track this", "add [topic] to watchlist". When triggered by an add request, open the UI with the topic pre-filled. Do NOT activate on every session — check last_run date in local.md first.

The core 6-layer decomposition framework. Activates when a user describes any topic, technology, market signal, or global event. Also activates when a scenario card is clicked via sendPrompt, or when /curiosity-stack:decompose is run. Guides the user through L0 to L6 using Socratic conversation — one layer at a time.

Activate on first use or when user says "setup", "configure", "connect my notes", "link my drive", "how do I connect", or on first session with no prior configuration. Also reads curiosity-stack.local.md if it exists — skip steps already answered there.

Activate at Layer 1 and Layer 5 of any decomposition to surface the user's highest-rated sources for the current sector and layer. Activate after any session to prompt source rating. Activate when user says "rate this source", "how good is [source]", "which sources should I use for [sector]", or "update my sources". Never activate mid-conversation unless at L1 or L5 transition.

Activate when user asks where to find information at any layer, or when they are stuck and need pointers to go deeper. Always check connected personal sources first.
