actionable-knowledge

name: actionable-knowledge description: Use when the user wants to learn a concept or resolve confusion with multiple lenses, assumptions, and one recommended next step.

Actionable Knowledge

Contract

Prereqs:

• User explicitly invokes actionable-knowledge, asks to use this prompt-style skill, or asks for a structured learning-oriented explanation.
• The canonical prompt source exists at references/prompts/actionable-knowledge.md.

Inputs:

• User question, concept, confusion, or learning goal.
• Optional context such as current understanding, domain, desired depth, time budget, or constraints.

Outputs:

• A learning-focused answer shaped by the canonical prompt source.
• Explicit assumptions and open questions when the prompt cannot safely infer intent or background.
• No repo file changes, command execution, or durable artifacts unless the user separately asks for them.

Exit codes:

• N/A (conversation workflow; no repo scripts)

Failure modes:

• Prompt source is missing or empty.
• The request requires current external facts; follow the active external-verification workflow before answering.
• The topic is underspecified enough that a baseline explanation would be misleading.

Workflow

1. Read references/prompts/actionable-knowledge.md.
2. Treat that file as the canonical prompt text for this skill invocation.
3. Replace $ARGUMENTS conceptually with the current user question and available context.
4. Follow the prompt shape unless higher-priority system, developer, user, or project instructions conflict.
