Coach
Run a structured coaching session.
Step 0: Load Config
Read $PRAXIS_DIR/config/coach.yaml. All vault paths in this skill and reference.md refer to keys from this config. Resolve YYYY-MM-DD patterns with today's date. All paths are relative to vault_path from config.
If config file missing → ask user: "No coach config found at $PRAXIS_DIR/config/coach.yaml. Copy the template from the skill directory and customize your vault paths."
Subcommand Routing
Parse $ARGUMENTS (first word, lowercase):

pro |
Stub: "Pro coaching not built yet. Use /coach for personal." |
family |
Stub: "Family coaching not built yet. Use /coach for personal." |

Personal Session
Load reference.md and follow the 6-step protocol exactly in order (1-Pulse, 2-Surface, 3-Accountability, 4-Explore, 5-Commit, 6-Review). Complete ALL 6 steps in a single response — do not stop after Step 5 or defer Step 6 to a follow-up turn.
Vault paths from config personal: section:
- Coaching log:
personal.coaching_log - Habits context:
personal.habits_path(read-only) - OKRs:
personal.okr_file→ section matchingpersonal.okr_section - Projects:
personal.project_refs[](read-only)
Signal Session
Load reference.md and follow the 6-step Strategic Signal Protocol in order (1-Scorecard, 2-Positioning, 3-Accountability, 4-Signal-Gap Scan, 5-Commit, 6-Debrief+Persist). Complete ALL 6 steps in a single response.
Vault paths from config signal: section:
- Coaching log:
signal.coaching_log(readsignal:block + write signal session) - Projects:
signal.project_refsglob (read-only, for signal-gap scan) - Streams:
signal.streams(active stream definitions) - Previous sessions: same coaching log dir (read-only, for accountability)
Invariants
- MUST capture pulse (energy/mood/stress) before proceeding (personal domain)
- MUST capture signal scorecard (counts, not feelings) before proceeding (signal domain)
- MUST produce a commitment (action + deadline) before review
- MUST write session output to coaching log path — never to habits or project paths
- stress > 7 → surface emotional regulation flag before anxiety step (personal domain only)
- Signal domain MUST NOT modify
