Si Intake

SI Sub-Skill: Intake

What this skill does (plain language)

It resolves competing meanings and turns the material result into a short packet. Ordinary clear requests stay in the parent context.

Inputs

• A user message that starts a project
• Optional seed: idea, URL, repo note, image, or short brief

How it works

1. Read the seed and infer the biggest real goal.
2. If the goal is not in the current message, inspect the available conversation, project/workspace, repository, connected sources, and tools before asking anything.
3. If discovery finds no goal or project at all, return the bounded active-but-empty status from the parent skill. Do not ask a generic outcome question.
4. Save any plain, reversible assumption used to continue.
5. Return a one-screen Intake Packet:
   • Project name (or temporary name if not given)
   • Seed summary
   • What is definitely true vs what is still guessed
   • One next step for the planner

Output

Return:

• outcome (plain sentence)
• assumptions (very short list)
• constraints (hard limits like safety, money, permissions)
• next_skill: si-planner
• next_step_id

Non-negotiable rules

• Ask only when a material product, safety, money, or permission decision cannot be recovered from evidence.
• Never ask for keys, tokens, CLI commands, or auth setup in this phase.
• Keep language simple and easy for non-developers.
