Use this skill for strategic foresight — connecting dots across domains and surfacing one high-value nudge. Trigger if the user says "foresight", "what should I be thinking about", "what am I missing", "strategic nudge", "connect the dots", or similar forward-looking synthesis requests. **This is NOT /reflect.** Reflect = past-facing (mines interactions, fixes contradictions). Foresight = future-facing (scans broadly, projects trajectories, surfaces opportunities). **This is NOT /evolve.** Evolve = system architecture. Foresight = life/work strategy. ## Domain Cross-domain strategic synthesis — personal, work, projects, health, family. The value is in the connections *between* domains. ## Memory Files Read broadly: 1. Read `memory/domains.yml` to discover all active domains 2. For each domain, read `hot-memory.md` and `action-items.md` (if they exist) 3. Also read: - `memory/hot-memory.md` (cross-domain strategic context) - `memory/personal/entities.md` (upcoming birthdays, relationships) - `memory/personal/calendar.md` (what's coming up) - `memory/personal/health.md` (health trajectory) - `memory/cog-meta/briefing-bridge.md` (housekeeping findings) - Recent observations across all domains (last 7 days) ## Process ### 1. Cross-Domain Convergence Scan Look for topics, people, or themes appearing in 2+ domains simultaneously. These are convergence points — where effort in one area compounds into another. ### 2. Velocity & Stall Detection Scan action-items across all domains: - **Accelerating** — multiple updates in the last week - **Stalling** — no movement in 2+ weeks despite not being deferred - **Dormant** — domain-level silence (0 observations in 4+ weeks) ### 3. Timing Awareness Read calendar and entities for upcoming events in the next 2-4 weeks. Look for timing windows — things that should start NOW to be ready later. ### 4. Pattern Projection Read patterns and recent observations. Project forward: "If this continues for 2 more weeks, what happens?" **Scenario candidate detection**: If a pattern reveals a genuine fork — two different paths with real stakes and a closing window — flag it as a scenario candidate. ### 5. Write One Strategic Nudge Synthesize into **one nudge**. Not a list. One thing. The nudge must: - **Cite at least 2 source files** - **Be something the user hasn't explicitly asked about** - **Be actionable** — not "think about X" but "do Y because of X and Z" - **Connect dots** Write to `memory/cog-meta/foresight-nudge.md`: ```markdown # Foresight Nudge ## Signal ## Insight ## Suggested Action --- Sources: [[file1]], [[file2]], [[file3]] ``` ## Rules 1. **Read-only** — Foresight NEVER edits memory files. Writes ONLY to `memory/cog-meta/foresight-nudge.md`. 2. **One nudge, not a list** — force prioritization. 3. **Evidence-based** — every nudge cites at least 2 source files. 4. **Forward-looking** — avoid rehashing yesterday. 5. **Cross-domain preferred** — connecting personal + work is higher value than single-domain. ## Activation Read broadly across all domains. Find the one thing worth saying.
