ed3design Skill Briefing Source TriangulationUse when building a status briefing (morning standup, weekly review, "where was ", session-start briefing) that reads from multiple persistence sources (Daily Note + `.remember/today-*.md` + `.remember/recent.md` + git-log + file mtimes). Without conscious source-priority, briefings can claim items as "open" that were actually completed (e.g. email sent, meeting held, file shipped) because secondary sources lag or summarise. Trigger on phrases like "morning briefing", "daily standup", "where was ", "what was still open", "session-start briefing", "weekly review", "monthly close", "what's new since yesterday", "day overview", or any skill invocation that consumes `.remember/today-*.md` or `recent.md` as status input. Do NOT load when only consuming a single source (just reading the Daily Note for context), when writing INTO `. remember/` files (those are plugin-owned, not briefing input), or for code-only context-gathering (use git-log directly)

ed3design Skill Forensic Hypothesis Disproved Then Read CodeUse when conducting a forensic investigation with explicit hypotheses (H1/H2/H3) on a system bug or anomaly, and 2+ hypotheses have been disproved by code-read or DB-query. Default-behavior is "Hypothesis disproved → investigation done, no real bug". This skill says: continue code-read with no specific hypothesis — bonus-findings often surface during the disproving process and are real bugs that would be missed otherwise. Trigger on phrases like "hypothesis H1 disproved", "all theories wrong", "forensics inconclusive", "no bug found but weird behavior", "abort forensics", "nothing there after all". Do NOT load for hypothesis-testing in research code where "disproved" is success, for time-boxed forensics with a hard stop after X minutes, when user explicitly says "if the hypotheses are disproved Claude are done", or for non-investigative tasks.
-
ed3design Skill Strategic Proposal Vault Persistence CheckUse at session-end (or mid-session when about to wrap a strategic discussion) when the session has produced structured strategic content — multi-row tables (priority/effort/value matrices, tool inventories), JSON/data schemas (API responses, config-shapes), multi-step recommendations ("Stage 1:..., Stage 2:..."), 5-category frameworks, or anything that took >10min to structure. Risk: this content lives in the conversation buffer, NOT in persistent knowledge — when context expires the entire structuring effort is lost. Trigger phrases like "session wrap-up", "end of day", "is that in the vault?", "did Claude capture that?", "summarize for later", "remember", "wrap up". Do NOT load for sessions producing only ephemeral content (chat-only, single-file-edit, debug-trace), mid-task while strategic discussion is still active, or when post-session-skill-review is already covering the same scan.
