Overview
This skill defines the GTD Execution Hub, the single source of truth for all commitments within the Memex. It governs how the `org-agent` perceives priorities and tracks the progress of the Personal Software Foundry (PSF) Consensus Loop.
Philosophy
The Memex follows the Allen-Sovereign Methodology:
- Capture: No friction. If a thought exists, it must be in the `inbox.org`.
- Clarify: Every item is either trash, reference, or a commitment with a defined "Next Action."
- DAG Structure: Following the `org-gtd` v4.0 standard, projects are not linear lists but graphs of dependencies managed via `:TRIGGER:` and `:BLOCKER:` properties.
The Modular GTD Structure
To prevent "Context Rot," the GTD system is partitioned across specialized files:
- inbox.org: High-frequency capture.
- gtd.org: Active projects and the current DAG of commitments.
- Scribe Agent: Automatically moves items from Dailies into the knowledge graph.
Operational Lifecycle
1. Perception (The Weekly Review)
The agent assists the Sovereign Executive in scanning `gtd.org`. It identifies "Stalled" projects—those marked as `NEXT` but with no active sub-tasks or blocked by legacy items.
2. Shadow Orchestration
The PSF uses the `:PSF-STATE:` property within `gtd.org` to track the engineering lifecycle without polluting the standard GTD keywords. The agent monitors this property to decide which "Safety Gate" to trigger next.
3. Evolution
Completed projects are not simply deleted; they are processed by the Scribe to extract permanent learnings into Institutional Memory (SOUL) before the GTD headline is marked `DONE`.
Symbolic Implementation
The following logic defines how the agent interacts with the `org-gtd` system.
(defun gtd-perceive-commitments ()
"Returns a list of all active NEXT actions across the agenda files."
(let ((gtd-file (expand-file-name "~/memex/gtd.org")))
(kernel-log "GTD - Scanning commitments in ~a" gtd-file)
;; Implementation of org-gtd v4.0 DAG perception
(org-agent:run-shell-command (format nil "grep '^\*\* NEXT' ~a" gtd-file))))
