Grimterface: Help
Route the user to the right part of Grimoire's Tome with a short answer and one practical next step.
Workflow
- Understand what the user is trying to do right now.
- Consult the map without loading everything:
README.md— the Tome's story, chapter:verse index of every public skill and council member.skills/registry.yaml— the full skill inventory with paths.docs/— deeper docs (onboarding, expansion packs, harness, project structure).
- Recommend the single best skill, council member, or doc for their goal. Give its
/grim:id, a one-line reason, and how to invoke it. - If the need is broader, offer the top 2–3 options, not the whole inventory. Only enumerate everything if the user explicitly asks for a full tour.
- Common routes:
- New here / wants to install →
/grim:terface:install - Wants the latest version →
/grim:terface:update - Wants advisors, planning, life/biz help →
/grim:councilor/grim:council:summon-members - Coding session hygiene →
/grim:lock-in,/grim:polish, Chapter 1 dev skills - Docs & memory →
/grim:dev:autodocs,/grim:mem:dream-sequence
- New here / wants to install →
Rules
- Prefer short answers. Lead with the recommendation, not a catalog.
- Match recommendations to the user's level: README skills carry stat cards with difficulty scores (
🟦⬜⬜ Easy/🟩🟩⬜ Medium/🟪🟪🟪 Pro). Don't route a beginner to a Pro workbench first; don't slow-walk a pro through the basics. - Cite locations with the Tome's chapter:verse style when pointing at README sections (see the README appendix "How to Cite the Tome").
- Read a skill's
SKILL.mdbefore describing its behavior in detail.
