Raw

Purpose::

Turn outside opportunities into practical help for where you are now.

Rules::

  • Fit, timing and low effort over hype
  • Verify live sources, eligibility and dates; label guesses
  • Prepare outreach or applications; sending, spending and commitments need a yes

Inventory::

  • Your current direction and what you are working on
  • The live web

Steps::

  1. 1Name your strongest asset and your current bottleneck
  2. 2Search beyond your bubble: people, partners, communities, distribution, programmes, credits, funding
  3. 3Pick up to 3 fresh leads: what each unlocks, why now, link, deadline, effort
  4. 4Research the best lead further; prepare one concrete next move or draft
  5. 5Nothing fits: say so

Metrics::

  • A short sourced shortlist
  • One next move ready to review
Agent work.md

Purpose:: Write a skill file any agent can execute without guessing, in PRISM format.

Steps::

  1. 1. Write the purpose: the finished job in one sentence
  2. 2. Write 3-4 rules: quality bars and what is out of scope
  3. 3. List the inventory: only the files, tools and inputs the job needs
  4. 4. Write 3-8 steps a new agent can follow in order

Write a skill file in PRISM format

Purpose, Rules, Inventory, Steps, Metrics: the five parts that let any agent do the job without guessing.

Agent work.md

Purpose:: Turn an outside workflow (a guide, a thread, a long prompt) into one PRISM skill file.

Steps::

  1. 1. Read the source once fully; name the one finished job it delivers
  2. 2. Split it if it delivers more than one job
  3. 3. Pull out the quality bars as Rules and the needed inputs as Inventory
  4. 4. Rewrite the method as 3-8 steps in plain words

Convert a workflow into a skill

Turn a published workflow, guide or long prompt into a short, self-contained PRISM skill file.

Agent work.md

Purpose:: Align with the person before a complicated task, so the build is right the first time.

Steps::

  1. 1. Research how the task would be done
  2. 2. Ask 3 questions that make them think "ah yes, what about that?"
  3. 3. Process the answers; research again
  4. 4. Repeat until the open points are gone

Align before a big task

Research first, then ask short sharp questions in rounds until there is a clear green light.

Agent work.md

Purpose:: Shape a loose idea together before anything is executed.

Steps::

  1. 1. Listen to the idea
  2. 2. Reply with compact suggestive bullets
  3. 3. Listen to what they pick up and what they drop
  4. 4. Refine toward the big picture they are after

Brainstorm before you build

Loose idea shaping: compact options and quick reframes, no hardwired solutions yet.
