# Desk

> Orient the user across active projects, current workstreams, weekly priorities, commitments, and backburner items. Use for broad questions such as what is on the user's plate or what deserves focus; do not trigger when the user names one project to resume.

# Desk

Read `areas/*/AREA.md`, active `desk/*/BINDER.md` files, linked active workstreams, `areas/work/plans.md`, commitments, and backburner files.

Return:

1. current weekly intent;
2. active work grouped by status, each with current truth and one next action;
3. blocked, stale, or unlinked state;
4. commitments needing attention;
5. a recommended focus with a short rationale.

Use receipts and `updated_at` fields for recency. Use mtimes only as a fallback and Git only as optional supporting evidence. Do not mutate priorities or state unless the user asks.
