## What it does

actualize compares the `.fpf/` knowledge base with Git changes after the commit stored in `.fpf/.baseline`. When that baseline file is absent, it starts from the repository’s initial commit. It examines changed-file names and statistics, then checks project configuration against `.fpf/context.md`.

The skill reads evidence in `.fpf/evidence/`, inspects each `carrier_ref`, and flags records tied to changed files. It also follows links from files in `.fpf/decisions/` to their evidence and hypotheses to identify decisions that may need review. It then updates `.fpf/.baseline` and produces a structured report.

Git and an `.fpf/` directory are required because the skill compares repository changes with that knowledge base. Set up FPF before relying on this check.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill actualize -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill actualize -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill actualize -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit actualize
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill actualize -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --path skills/actualize
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill actualize -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/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit/tree/HEAD/skills/actualize/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- compare an FPF knowledge base with Git history
- flag evidence linked to changed files
- identify decisions that may need re-evaluation
- write a new baseline to `.fpf/.baseline`

## Example prompts
- Run the actualize skill for the current repository.
- Use actualize to find stale evidence after code changes.
- Run actualize and update `.fpf/.baseline` after the review.
