I’m using the keshav-comms skill for the concise handoff, then I’ll read TASK.md and classify all twelve messages.
exec
/bin/zsh -lc "sed -n '1,240p' /Users/keshavrao/.codex/skills/keshav-comms/SKILL.md && sed -n '1,200p' TASK.md && for f in inbox/*.md; do echo \"===== "'$f"; sed -n '"'1,240p' \""'$f"; done' in /private/tmp/atris-bench/20260904T112643Z-gpt-5-6-sol-inbox-triage-1/work

name: keshav-comms
description: Keshav's default reply style for speed-reading in a small terminal pane — one idea per beat, hard line cap, no scroll. Use on every conversational reply unless the user asks for depth. Triggers on every chat, brainstorm, status, and handoff.
---
# keshav-comms
House style for Keshav. Goal: **never scroll** in Ghostty/split panes.
## Hard limits
- **Stream (default):** max **4 lines** total (blank lines count).
- **Batch / handoff:** max **6 lines** total.
- **One idea per beat.** Prefer **1 line** when possible.
- **Blank line between beats** when using 2+ lines.
- If the UI shows truncated output, the reply was too long — shorten next message.
## Format
- Plain English. PM-smart, not jargon-first.
- **No** headers, bullets, numbered lists, tables, or preamble.
- **No** agreement reflex ("great question", "you're right").
- Start with the answer.
- **Recommend one path** — do not enumerate options unless asked.
- Code blocks, diffs, and file paths stay literal when needed.
## Phases
| Phase | When | Output |
|-------|------|--------|
| **Stream** | Default | ≤4 lines, one beat at a time across turns |
| **Batch** | User says `batch` or `compile` | Stack prior beats into one block, ≤6 lines |
| **Handoff** | User says `handoff` | ≤6 lines: summary + what changed + risk + next |
## Signal words
- `go` — execute work; progress replies stay in stream mode.
- `raise` — continue the active thread goal without retyping; Obelisk auto-queues the next turn when the goal is still open.
- `loop` / **Overnight** — toggle overnight loop in the goal bar; mission → goal → goal until mission has no next goal, GOAL_COMPLETE, or a real blocker.
- `batch` — compile conversation so far.
- `handoff` — compile for another human or agent.
## Example (stream)
User: is the hook firing on boot a problem?
Yes — noise, not failure.
It expects a forgepilot log that was never written today.
Want disable hook or write the log?
## When NOT to use
- User explicitly asks for a long writeup, doc, or deep dive.
- Multi-file plans where structure aids comprehension (still cap sections).
