Skills

Lode ships seven skills. Each is independent — install individually or use them all. They share one local storage convention so downstream reports can reuse earlier context.

Cold Start Interview

Trigger: /lode:cold-start-interview

First-run setup. Creates ~/.lode/config.yaml with:

• Knowledge vault path (where Lode stores its data)
• Project identity and slug
• Report language (English, Chinese, or mixed)
• Weekly report mode and team context

Run this once. After that, all other skills read config automatically.

Recall

Trigger: /lode:recall, 开工, session start, 继续上次

Session-start context recall. Reads recent raw entries and artifact indexes from your knowledge vault to surface:

• Recent decisions and their rationale
• Open risks and unresolved questions
• Abandoned alternatives worth remembering
• Stale intent artifacts that may need attention

Works without a vault — falls back to conversation-only context.

Capture

Trigger: /lode:capture, 收工, done, 今天到这

Adaptive-depth session recap. Classifies your session as one of five archetypes:

• Decision — design choices, tradeoffs, rejected paths
• Build — features implemented, contracts changed
• Investigation — explorations, findings, dead ends
• Repair — bugs fixed, root causes, mitigations
• Maintenance — refactors, upgrades, cleanup

Writes report-worthy signals (decisions, risks, contracts, impact) rather than process logs. Also generates lightweight sync suggestions for architecture docs, plans, and README files.

Zero-config mode: outputs structured Markdown directly in the conversation without writing to any vault.

Daily

Trigger: /lode:daily, 更新日报, 日报, daily note

Updates Obsidian daily notes from raw entries and git history. Aggregates what happened across sessions into a single day view.

Weekly

Trigger: /lode:weekly, 周报, weekly PPT

Builds a weekly outline from raw change entries. Uses raw entries as the primary semantic source; git logs are fallback and coverage evidence only. Includes a conditional "hard stuff" section when evidence exists.

Monthly

Trigger: /lode:monthly, 月度回顾, 月报, monthly review

Generates a monthly review from daily notes. Extracts signals, produces a structured skeleton, and proposes candidate rules from repeated evidence. Python scripts handle parsing and aggregation for determinism.

Roadmap

Trigger: /lode:roadmap, 决策路线图, decision roadmap

Generates a narrative decision roadmap from accumulated raw entries. Tracks:

• Decisions made and their context
• Accumulating risks that haven't been resolved
• Recurring open questions
• How thinking evolved over time

The roadmap is not a feature list — it tells the story of what happened and why.
