Help (System Assessment)
Deep assessment of workspace state. Identifies blockers, suggests priorities.
When to Activate
- User says: "help", "what should I work on?"
- When stuck or unsure
- Returning after time away
- Multiple things competing for attention
Process
1. Deep Context Check
Git status:
git status -sb
git log --oneline -5
git diff --stat
Inbox:
ls -lt inbox/session-summaries/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5
ls inbox/ 2>/dev/null
Decisions pending:
ls decisions/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -10
Schema/summary:
cat .claude/tachikoma-summary.yaml 2>/dev/null
2. Report Findings
System Assessment (YYYY-MM-DD):
Git Status:
- Branch: [name]
- Uncommitted changes: [yes/no]
- Recent commits: [summary]
Inbox Status:
- Session summaries: [N files]
- Status: [Clean / Needs processing]
Pending Decisions:
- [N] decisions waiting for review
- [List key ones]
Tachikoma Summary:
- Last scan: [date]
- Observations: [key points]
3. Suggest Priorities
If uncommitted changes:
Priority 1: Git hygiene

- Review and commit before other work
If inbox has items:
Priority 1: Process inbox
- [N] session summaries from [dates]
- Run "learn" to update system
- Then "cleanup" to archive
If pending decisions:
Priority 1: Review decisions

What do you want to work on?
4. Ask What User Wants
Based on this, what do you want to focus on?
Difference from Start/Startup
- start/startup: Quick context, begin work
- help: Deep analysis, identify problems, suggest priorities
Use help when stuck or returning after time away.
