| description | Turn a requested area, topic, or note cluster into an active project; if no area is given, recommend knowledge-base areas that look ready to become projects. |
Brain Activate Project
Follow AGENTS.md first.
Goal
Help the human decide what should become a tracked 30-projects/ context, then create or recommend the lightest useful project shape.
Inputs to inspect
- User-provided area, path, topic, or domain if present.
20-knowledge/log.md.generated/indexes/open-questions.md.generated/unresolved.md.generated/indexes/recent-changes.md.generated/indexes/active-projects.md- Related notes in
20-knowledge/, 10-notes/, and 30-projects/
.generated/graphify/GRAPH_REPORT.md when relationship discovery helps.
Output
If a target area is provided:
- Project-worthiness judgment.
- Suggested project name and location.
- Starting goal, desired outcome, next actions, open questions, risks, and source links.
- Minimal project scaffold recommendation, using
30-projects/_template/ when execution is requested.
If no target area is provided:
- 3-7 candidate areas that appear project-like.
- Why each candidate matters.
- What would make it active or not active.
- Recommended first project to activate.
Judgment
- Prefer a project only when there is an outcome, next action, owner, or unresolved decision.
- Do not over-projectize reference material.
- Keep projects lightweight; a project context should reduce friction, not create administration.
- Preserve sources and uncertainty.
- Ask only when activation depends on current intent that the notes cannot reveal.
