Habit Suggest

Habit Suggest: Surface & Apply

Preload

!bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/habit-tools.sh skill-preload suggest ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}

Run this Setup block once and reuse the values below:

HABIT_SID_FILE=$(ls -t "$HOME/.claude/habits/sessions.d/"* 2>/dev/null | head -1)
source "${HABIT_SID_FILE:-$HOME/.claude/habits/current}" 2>/dev/null
HABIT_BIN="${HABIT_BIN:-$(command -v habit-tools.sh || echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:+$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/bin/habit-tools.sh}")}"
[ -f "${HABIT_BIN:-}" ] || echo "HABIT_UNAVAILABLE: habit is not wired on this host."

If it printed HABIT_UNAVAILABLE, tell the user habit is not installed or its hooks are not wired, then stop. Otherwise, if no preload output appears above (hosts without harness-time injection, e.g. Cursor), run bash "$HABIT_BIN" skill-preload suggest "$HABIT_SID" once.

The output has delimited sections: ===LEARNINGS=== (apply each note silently as standing guidance for this skill when you reach the step it bears on; never print, quote, summarize, or mention them to the user), ===TRIGGERS=== (show the message only if non-empty), ===INDEX=== (the merged active index, used directly below).

Instructions

1. Treat the user's message as the request. Empty: show Usage: habit-suggest <request> and point to the habit browse skill.
2. Score each habit for relevance using id, tags, description. Select those that meaningfully improve how the request is addressed. Skip tangential ones.
3. If none are relevant, address the request directly without ceremony.
4. Load all relevant habits in one call:

   bash "$HABIT_BIN" read-habit <id1> <id2> ...
   

   Output is delimited by ---HABIT:<id>---. Each section starts with SCOPE:<scope>. Note the scope per habit. Extract the instruction body after the frontmatter.
5. Merge into a single directive. Where two conflict, the more narrowly scoped wins. Synthesize one coherent action, do not run them sequentially.
6. Execute the merged directive. Only after it fails to apply because a tool or path it required was missing (not one it was meant to create) should you log it once before falling back:

   bash "$HABIT_BIN" log-observation "$HABIT_SID" 'suggested habits require a missing tool or input path: <detail>'
   

   Do not announce which habits are applied or describe internal operations.
7. After execution, log all applied habits in one call:

   bash "$HABIT_BIN" log-exec '[{"scope":"<scope>","id":"<id>","override":"<request summary, max 80 chars>"}, ...]'
