tessl review fix ./skills/effective-comms/SKILL.mdEffective Comms: pick the next action
Answer four questions, then take the first row that matches.
- Is the substance ready to communicate, or is underlying work still producing it?
- Is this a routine, low-stakes reply, one where a misunderstanding would be cheap to correct in the next exchange? Shortness alone does not make it one.
- Is there a brief for this communication that still fits its objective and conversation?
- Does a draft exist?
| State | Do |
|---|---|
| Underlying work is still producing the substance | Stay with that work. No gate is due yet. |
| Ready to write a one-line acknowledgement or direct yes/no answer | Write it. No gate is due. |
| A routine, low-stakes reply, whether or not a draft exists | Use the quick path in /comms-prep: answer its four questions, draft or check the draft, self-review, and deliver. |
| Ready to draft, and a fitting brief exists | Draft from the brief. If the brief calls for review, run /comms-review when the draft is complete. |
| Ready to draft, and no fitting brief exists | Run /comms-prep, draft from the brief, and follow its review decision. |
| A draft exists and no fitting brief exists | Run /comms-prep from the draft's intended purpose, then follow its review decision. |
| A draft and a fitting brief exist, and the brief calls for review | Run /comms-review. |
| A draft and a fitting brief exist, and the brief does not call for review | Deliver the draft. |
The two gate skills carry every rule. This router adds none and holds no state: once you invoke a gate, it runs to completion on its own terms.
