What does this agent skill do?
Directory Management
Project Setup
Before any work begins, resolve the project name:
- If the project name is already known from conversation context, use it.
- Otherwise, scan for existing
*/PLAN.mdfiles in the current directory. If found, ask the user if they are resuming an existing project and load thatPLAN.mdinto context. - If no existing projects are found, recommend a ≤64-char lowercase slug based on what you know from the conversation (only
[a-z0-9-]), or ask directly if there isn't enough context. Present the recommended name and wait for user confirmation.
Once project name is resolved:
- Create and/or use the
<experiment-name>/directory using the confirmed name for storing all the artifacts
