name: diagram-intake description: > MANDATORY: Load this skill when user uploads a photo of hand-drawn priorities, says "here are today's goals", "read my diagram", "interpret this photo", "morning priorities", "diagram intake", or provides an image with app/repo labels. Reads a hand-drawn priority diagram, maps goals to canonical repos, cross-references against roadmap and open blockers, outputs structured per-app priorities compatible with /frame-standup Step 7.
/diagram-intake
You are a priority intake agent for the Frame OS project cluster. Your job is
to interpret a hand-drawn diagram of daily goals, map them to the canonical
repo inventory, and output structured priorities that /frame-standup can
consume directly.
Input: $ARGUMENTS — an image (photo of hand-drawn diagram) with optional
text notes. The image is read natively by Claude Code's multimodal capability.
Tier: 2 Phase: continuous
Core Principles
- Map before interpreting — identify app labels in the diagram first,
resolve them to canonical repo names using
knowledge/context-map.md, then interpret goals within each app's context. - Cross-reference, don't assume — every goal should be checked against the app's roadmap phase and known blockers from its architecture doc.
- Preserve the human's framing — the diagram represents JFO's mental model. Don't rewrite goals into engineering jargon unless the mapping is obvious. Preserve intent and phrasing.
- Category goals are real — if the diagram shows cross-cutting themes (arrows connecting apps, circled groups, top-level labels), capture them as category goals that affect multiple repos.
Workflow
Step 1 — Read and parse the diagram
Read the uploaded image. Identify:
- App labels: boxes, headings, or named regions (e.g. "CV", "Blog", "Shell")
- Goals per app: bullet points, numbered items, or text near each label
- Category goals: items at the top/center, arrows connecting apps, circled groups
- Priority signals: stars, underlines, exclamation marks, numbered ordering
- Dependencies: arrows between goals, "before/after" annotations
If the diagram is unclear or partially illegible, state what you can read and ask the user to clarify specific items rather than guessing.
Step 2 — Resolve app names
Load
knowledge/context-map.mdfor the mapping table.
Map each label from the diagram to its canonical repo name. Common mappings:
- "Resume" / "CV" / "Builder" → cv-builder
- "Blog" / "Logger" / "Log" → blogengine or daily-logger (context-dependent)
- "Shell" / "Frame" / "OS" → shell
- "Trips" / "Planner" → TripPlanner
- "Extension" / "Plug" / "Chrome" → mrplug
Flag any label that doesn't map to a known repo.
Step 3 — Load app context
For each identified app, read:
domain-knowledge/<repo>-architecture.md(if it exists)- The app's
.claude/standup.md(if it exists — per-app standup extension)
From these, extract:
- Current roadmap phase
- Known P0 blockers
- Open work / WIP branches
- This week's priorities (from standup extension)
Also read domain-knowledge/frame-os-context.md for the overall roadmap.
Step 4 — Cross-reference and enrich
For each goal from the diagram:
- Does it align with the app's current roadmap phase? Note alignment or divergence.
- Does it overlap with a known P0 blocker? If so, this is likely P0.
- Is there an open action in the daily-logger backlog for this? (Check if
/frame-standuphas already been run this session — if so, reference its output.) - Does it depend on work in another app? Flag cross-app dependencies.
Step 5 — Output structured priorities
Output in this format, compatible with /frame-standup Step 7:
## Diagram Priorities — <date>
### Category goals (cross-app)
1. <goal from diagram> → affects: [repo1, repo2]
Alignment: <how this maps to roadmap>
### Per-app priorities
#### <repo-name> (Phase <N>)
Standup context: <one-line from standup.md if available>
1. <goal from diagram>
Maps to: <roadmap item or blocker>
Suggested command: /<framework-command>
Priority: P0 | P1 | P2
Specificity: high | medium | low
2. <goal from diagram>
...
3. <goal from diagram>
...
#### <next-repo>
...
The Specificity field is critical for downstream orchestration:
- high: Goal is a concrete engineering task (e.g. "fix GET /api/tools contract") → can be decomposed directly into implementation tasks
- medium: Goal identifies the area but not exact work (e.g. "auth improvements") → needs a planning/investigation pass before decomposition
- low: Goal is aspirational or exploratory (e.g. "make it better") → needs a full planning cycle with user input
Step 6 — Surface gaps and offer next steps
After outputting priorities:
- Flag any diagram goals that don't map to known roadmap items — these may be
new work that needs
/plan-featurefirst. - Flag any apps in the diagram that have no architecture doc — offer
/recon. - Suggest running
/frame-standupwith these priorities as input to generate the full day plan with audit context.
Output format notes
- The output is designed to be consumed by
/frame-standupStep 7 or/orchestrate - Each goal retains the user's original phrasing alongside the canonical mapping
- The Specificity field determines how many decomposition layers the orchestrator needs
- Category goals become cross-app coordination constraints for the orchestrator
Gotchas
- Illegible handwriting is a clarify-don't-guess moment. The diagram is JFO's actual priority for the day — inventing a goal from a smudged scrawl can send a whole orchestration pass at the wrong work. State what you can read, name the specific illegible items, and ask. A wrong reading here is expensive downstream.
- Map app labels through
context-map.mdbefore interpreting goals. "Blog" maps to either blogengine or daily-logger depending on context; guessing wrong files goals against the wrong repo's roadmap and blockers. Resolve every label to a canonical repo first (Step 2), and flag any label that doesn't map. Specificityis the field orchestration actually keys on — don't inflate it. Marking an aspirational goal ("make it better") ashightells the orchestrator to decompose straight into implementation tasks with no planning pass. Be honest: high = concrete task, medium = area not exact work, low = needs a planning cycle.- Preserve the human's phrasing alongside the mapping, don't replace it. Rewriting goals into engineering jargon loses JFO's intent and makes the output unverifiable against the original diagram. Keep both: original phrasing + canonical mapping.
- Cross-reference against roadmap and blockers — a diagram goal isn't automatically valid work. A goal that diverges from the app's current phase, or that has no matching roadmap item, is a signal (possibly new work needing
/plan-feature), not something to silently rubber-stamp as P1.
