🎯 AI Proactive Triggering (ONBOARDING SKILL)
This is an ONBOARDING skill with HIGH PRIORITY. Natural follow-up after setup-goals.
When to Proactively Suggest (AI MUST check user-config.yaml)
Check learning_tracker.completed.setup_workspace in user-config.yaml. If false:
PROACTIVELY SUGGEST when user:
- Just completed setup-goals (natural next step)
- Asks where to save files or how to organize work
- Creates files in wrong locations (04-workspace/ should be for user content)
- Mentions file organization, folder structure, or workspace setup
- Has been using Nexus for 2+ sessions without workspace setup
- At menu display when
workspace_configured: false
Suggestion Pattern (after setup-goals):
💡 Great, your goals are set! Next recommended step: 'setup workspace' (5-8 min).
This creates a practical folder structure in 04-workspace/ for your files,
tailored to your work patterns. Quick and makes file organization effortless.
Suggestion Pattern (file organization confusion):
💡 I notice you're working with files. Would you like to run 'setup workspace'
(5 min) to create a practical folder structure? It'll help keep your work
organized and make files easier to find.
Menu Integration:
When displaying menu with workspace_configured: false:
📁 WORKSPACE
Not configured ▸ 'setup workspace' (5 min)
DO NOT suggest if:
learning_tracker.completed.setup_workspace: true- User has already organized 04-workspace/ manually
- User explicitly prefers ad-hoc organization
Setup Workspace
Guide user through workspace folder design using just-in-time organization.
Purpose
Create a practical folder structure in 04-workspace/ based on user's actual work patterns. Follows just-in-time principle: create only what you need now, add more later.
Time Estimate: 5-8 minutes
Workflow
Step 1: Understand Context
Read goals.md for role/goals context.
Ask: "What types of files and content will you work with?"
Listen for: document types, client/project categories, research vs output patterns.
Step 2: Just-in-Time Principle
Explain briefly:
━━━ KEY PRINCIPLE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Just-in-time organization": Only create folders you need NOW.
Don't over-organize on day 1. Structure emerges from real work.
We'll start with 3-5 essential folders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 3: Collaborative Design
Based on role, suggest 3-7 folders. Example for sales:
📁 04-workspace/
├── clients/
├── proposals/
├── research/
├── templates/
└── personal-notes/
Iterate until user is satisfied.
Step 4: Create Folders
Create agreed structure in 04-workspace/.
Step 5: Update Workspace Map
Create/update 04-workspace/workspace-map.md with structure and usage notes:
# Workspace Map
> Auto-generated by setup-workspace skill
> Last updated: {date}
## Folder Structure
{folder tree with descriptions}
## Usage Notes
{any user-specified notes about organization}
Step 6: Finalize
Actions (MUST complete all):
Create workspace-map.md in 04-workspace/ (if doesn't exist)
Mark skill complete in user-config.yaml:
learning_tracker: completed: setup_workspace: true # ADD THIS LINEDisplay completion:
✅ Setup Workspace Complete! Created: • {N} folders in 04-workspace/ • workspace-map.md with structure documentation Principle: Just-in-time organization. Add folders when needed. Next steps: • 'learn projects' - Understand project workflow • 'learn skills' - Create reusable workflows • 'create project' - Start your first projectPrompt close-session:
💡 When you're done working, say "done" to save progress.
Success Criteria
- User's file types/patterns understood
- 3-7 folders created in 04-workspace/
- workspace-map.md created with structure documentation
-
