# action-converter

This skill reads your agent's memory and logs, finds open loops and turns them into five concrete actions for today.

## What it does

The skill mines your agent's memory: `memory/MEMORY.md`, the last 7 days of `memory/logs/`, every file in `memory/topics/`, cron state, and open pull requests via `gh pr list`. From that it builds a deduped list of open loops — in-flight things, not broad areas. Each loop gets scored on three axes: leverage, urgency and concreteness. Only loops above the cutoff move on.

The top loops become five actions, and each one has to clear several gates. It must name a file path, a PR number, a handle, a repo or a CLI command; vague items like “review your goals” get rejected. A banned-phrase lint throws out filler such as “go for a walk” or “meditate”. Every action fits in two hours or less, and its definition of done is observable: a PR opened, a commit pushed, a message sent to a named person.

One more filter checks novelty over 14 days — if the same verb plus main noun already showed up in the logs, the action is dropped. On a cold start with empty logs the skill does not invent tasks; it switches to setup mode: enable specific skills in `aeon.yml`, configure notification secrets, run the first digest. When nothing is available at all, it notifies the operator and stops. Open PRs only appear if `gh` is in `PATH`; without it that whole source of loops is lost.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill action-converter -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/action-converter/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill action-converter -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill action-converter -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon action-converter
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill action-converter -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/action-converter
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill action-converter -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/action-converter/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn a list of open PRs into steps you can take today
- surface loops that have stalled for more than three days
- filter out vague items like “think about goals”
- fix a failing skill flagged in `memory/cron-state.json`
- fall back to setup tasks when memory is still empty

## Example prompts
- Read my memory and the last week of logs, then give me five concrete actions for today
- What's stalled? Run action-converter with a focus on `repo`
- Build actions from my open PRs and any failing skills

name: action-converter
description: 5 concrete real-life actions, leverage-scored against open loops with specificity and anti-fluff gates
metadata:
  title: Action Converter
  category: basics
  var: ""
  tags:
    - meta

<!-- autoresearch: variation B — sharper output via specificity gates, leverage scoring, banned-phrase lint, open-loop anchoring, empty-state taxonomy -->

> **${var}** — Optional focus area (e.g. `health`, `networking`, `learning`, `shipping`, `crypto`, `repo`). If empty, covers all areas. Treated as a tiebreaker, not a hard filter.

Read `memory/MEMORY.md` for stated goals, "Next Priorities", tracked items, and current topics.
Read the last 7 days of `memory/logs/` for recent activity, patterns, and what's already been suggested or done.
Read `memory/topics/` (every file) for active threads.
Read `memory/cron-state.json` for failing or stuck skills.
Read `memory/watched-repos.md` for repos under attention.
Read `output/articles/` (last 7 days, filenames only — peek at the 2 most recent for theme).
If `soul/SOUL.md` exists, read it for identity, voice, focus areas.
Run `gh pr list --state open --limit 20 --json number,title,createdAt,isDraft,reviewDecision,headRefName 2>/dev/null` to get open PRs (used to anchor "ship" / "review" / "merge" loops).

**Graceful bootstrap** — each of the reads above may be missing on cold starts. For every source, if the file/directory is missing or empty (including `memory/topics/*.md`, `memory/cron-state.json`, and `gh pr list` returning empty or erroring), skip it and record `BOOTSTRAP: <resource> not yet populated` in the run's working notes. Continue with whatever signals are available — the skill must degrade gracefully, never fail. If every single source is empty, fall through to the `ACTION_CONVERTER_NO_CONTEXT` mode below.

## Steps

### 1. Detect mode

Decide which exit mode this run will produce based on context volume:

- **ACTION_CONVERTER_NO_CONTEXT** — if BOTH `memory/logs/` has 0 entries AND `memory/MEMORY.md` is the unmodified template (matches "*Last consolidated: never*" AND "Configure notification channels"). Notify the operator and stop — do not invent actions out of thin air.
```
