Work Summary Updater Skill

This skill covers routing decisions at the start of work and the index.json (single source of truth) update at completion.

Targets

• work_index/index.json (single source of truth)
• index.json (top-level summary)

Included Script

• scripts/manageworkindex.py : ensure/upsert/query for work_index

Routing Steps

1. Summarize the instruction and extract key keywords.
2. Match against keywords / query_patterns in index.json.
3. Select the best-matching work folder.
4. If multiple candidates or unclear, confirm via Slack.
5. If none match, create work/<short-name>.

Update Policy

• Keep index.json aligned with the latest user request and repo status.

Update Steps

1. Read the latest record in workindex/workindex.db.
2. Organize summary / tags / query_patterns for the target folder.
3. Update index.json (single source of truth; reflect latest request/status).

Format Rules

• index.json must include folder / summary / keywords / querypatterns / lastused.

Notes

• index.json is the single source of truth.
• Keep JSON valid (no trailing commas).

Example

python scripts/manage_work_index.py ensure
