The skills

In Claude Code, type /ili to list every familiar skill. A skill starts only from its command. The agent can tell you which skill fits, but it never starts one on its own. The one exception is save, which also starts from plain words (“save progress”, “remember this”).

Skill	What it does	Branches
project-status	Checks in and brings the project state up to date, shows where things stand, or sorts what you can start today. The first run sets up a new project.	Check-in, Ongoing, Triage
ingest	Turns a source document into a knowledge page with citations. Later sessions read the page instead of the original.	—
deliverable-brief	Agrees a deliverable’s message, audience, key points and outline before drafting, then locks them. Learns a kind of deliverable from your own examples.	—
draft-document	Builds a deck, a Word or Markdown document, or an Excel workbook. Reviews a Word file that your team owns.	Deck, Document, Review, Workbook
save	Files one note or task change, or brings the project state up to date before a break.	Save progress, To memory
handoff	Parks work for a later session, or writes a standalone brief for someone outside the project.	Session handoff, Assignment brief
online-research	Answers a question from outside sources, with citations and the gaps it found.	—
system-settings	Housekeeping for the installation and the project folders.	Update, Workspace tidy, Tracks, Project closeout, Preferences, Hooks

Name a branch to skip the menu: /ili-save progress, /ili-draft-document deck. The skills quick reference puts every command on one page.

Your own skills work too. Add them to the agent’s skills folder as usual. familiar’s rules still apply while they run. Outputs go to 2-Drafts/ and claims carry sources. If a skill’s own instructions disagree with familiar’s rules, familiar’s rules win.

project-status branches

Branch	What it is for
Check-in	Give it your news, or ask for a full status. It brings tasks, timeline and status up to date, reports drift such as overdue tasks, and sets up a new project on its first run.
Ongoing	A quick “where are we”: what is open, in progress and startable now, from the saved state. Writes nothing.
Triage	Sorts the work you can start today by effort or urgency. Writes nothing.

draft-document branches

Branch	What it is for
Deck	A PowerPoint deck, built on your template from 1-Inputs/Templates/ when there is one, and checked visually.
Document	A memo or report, as a Word file or as Markdown.
Review	Edits a Word file your team already owns, as tracked changes and comment replies under the name AI Review. It never rebuilds the file.
Workbook	An Excel file such as a tracker, register or summary, planned sheet by sheet and checked so nothing from its sources is lost.

Each build is saved as a new version in 2-Drafts/. Nothing is overwritten.

save branches

Branch	What it is for
Save progress	Brings the whole project state up to date before a break: status, tasks, timeline and open handoffs.
To memory	Files one thing: a decision, a risk, a preference, or one task added, changed, done or moved.

handoff branches

Branch	What it is for
Session handoff	Parks work mid-task so a later session picks it up where you stopped. Also resumes an open handoff.
Assignment brief	A standalone brief for a colleague or another AI agent to pick up work outside familiar.

system-settings branches

Branch	What it is for
Update	Brings the project and its extensions up to a newer release. Put the new zips in the project’s _update/ folder and run /ili-system-settings update. It shows what will change and applies the changes when you say yes. It keeps your own edits and backs up every file it replaces (INSTALL.md).
Workspace tidy	Finds old drafts and loose knowledge files and proposes a cleanup. It acts only on what you approve.
Tracks	Optional labels for parallel strands of work in one project, such as a financial model, a market scan and a report. Tasks, timeline, knowledge index and status are then grouped by track. A project with one strand does not need tracks.
Project closeout	Brings the final state up to date and writes a closeout summary. Deletes nothing.
Preferences	Sets this project’s signature, your default signature, and standing preferences for every project.
Hooks	Turns optional hooks on or off, such as session titles and guards. First copy the familiar-hooks package into the project. Copying only adds the files. This branch turns each hook on or off.

You register a project with the optional fleet hub in the hub itself, not here.

Starting a skill on each agent

Agent	How
Claude Code	/ili-project-status, /ili-ingest and so on. A branch goes after the name: /ili-save progress.
Codex	$project-status, $ingest and so on, or the /skills picker.
Gemini CLI	Ask for the skill by name (“run the project-status skill”) and confirm when asked. /skills list shows the skills it found.
Others	Ask for the skill by name. An agent that reads both skill folders can list each skill twice. It is the same skill.

Put the command first in the message. A command in the middle of a sentence often works too. If a skill did not start, send the message again with the command first.
