What's inside

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.

Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping, platform hints
- Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
- Use vocabulary.note / vocabulary.note_plural for note type references
- Use vocabulary.reduce for the extraction verb
- Use vocabulary.reflect for the connection-finding verb
- Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references
- Use vocabulary.inbox for the inbox folder name
ops/config.yaml — processing depth, domain context

If these files don't exist, use universal defaults.

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

If ops/tutorial-state.yaml exists and current_step <= 5: resume from saved step
If target is "reset": delete ops/tutorial-state.yaml and start fresh
If no state file exists: begin new tutorial with track selection

START NOW. Reference below defines the flow.

Resume Detection

Read ops/tutorial-state.yaml. If it exists and tutorial is incomplete, display:

--=={ ars contexta : tutorial }==--

  Welcome back.
  Track: [track]     [step-progress] Step [N] of 5
  Resuming where you left off...

Skip to the saved current_step. Do NOT re-ask for track. If current_step > 5, tutorial is complete — offer to reset.
