Agent Project File

Q: How do I know the Agent Project File output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Done is observable; Every milestone has a date and a done condition; State lines use drafted, approved, shipped, blocked or waiting, never done; There is a single next action in the resume point.

Set up the project file an AI agent keeps for work that runs over days or weeks: the goal, the definition of done, milestones, the current state, decisions made, open questions, and the exact point to resume from after an interruption. Use when asked to plan a long-running agent task, make my agent work on this over a week, keep state between agent sessions, or hand a multi-day project to an AI. Produces the project file, the update rules, the check-in schedule and the resume checklist.

What to give it

▸The goal and what done looks like

▸The time span and how often the person — wants to check in

▸Known milestones or constraints — deadlines, budget, people to involve

▸Where the file will live — a repo, a shared doc, the agent's memory

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Done is observable

✓Every milestone has a date and a done condition

✓State lines use drafted, approved, shipped, blocked or waiting, never done

✓There is a single next action in the resume point

✓Decisions carry dates and reasons

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not let the agent start a session without reading the file

Do not overwrite the decision log; append to it

Do not report progress without saying which milestone moved

Do not let the goal change without a dated decision
