• If the check prints nothing → continue to Step 0 silently.
• If the check prints a VERSION_NOTICE: block → do NOT print it verbatim. Instead present ONE interactive update prompt with AskUserQuestion, worded in the project's CLAUDE.md language:
  • Question: "project-butler is N commits behind upstream. Update now?" (read N from the VERSION_NOTICE: line).
  • Option "Update now" → run bash "<SKILL_DIR>/scripts/check-update.sh" --pull "<SKILL_DIR>" as a single Bash call, then report its UPDATE_OK / UPDATE_FAILED output to the user.
  • Option "Remind me later" → do nothing; the script throttles the prompt to at most once per 24h, so it will not ask again today.
  • Option "Stop reminding" → tell the user to set PROJECT_BUTLER_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 to silence permanently. Present this prompt once, before the triggered work. The script already limits it to once per 24h, so do not add your own suppression.
• Never run git pull on the skill directory yourself EXCEPT as the "Update now" action the user explicitly selected (which runs the --pull subcommand above).
• If you cannot find the "Base directory for this skill: " line in the current skill loading prompt, skip the check silently and continue to Step 0.

Step 0: Trigger Routing

Determine how this skill was triggered:

A. "整理文件" / "organize files":

1. Read references/file-reorganization.md
2. Execute Mode A: Four-Phase Organize (Discover → Ask or Plan → Plan → Execute)
3. Report and stop

B. "收工" / "end session" / "结束会话" / "we're done" / "wrap up" / "done for today" / "normal close" / "full close":

1. Execute the End Session Flow below (inline)
2. Report and stop

C. Initialization (/project-butler, 初始化项目, setup project, etc.): → Continue to Init Flow below

D. "切换语言" / "change language":

1. Read references/language-change.md + references/language-adaptation.md
2. Execute the Language Change Protocol
3. Report and stop

E. "continue" / "接着上次" / "上次做到哪了":

1. Read references/continue.md
2. Execute the Continue process (recover last session context)
3. Report and stop

F. "continue full context" / "全面回顾" / "项目全景" / "full context":

1. Read references/continue-full-context.md
2. Execute the Continue Full Context process (full project trajectory recovery)
3. Report and stop

G. "review claude" / "审查规则" / "更新宪法" / "check the rules":

1. Read .claude/candidates.md
2. Present pending candidates one by one for accept / reject / rewrite
3. For accepted or rewritten candidates, append to CLAUDE.md only after explicit user confirmation
4. Move processed candidates to adopted or rejected sections in .claude/candidates.md
5. Report and stop

H. "sync wiki" / "同步项目" / "update overview" / "refresh overview":

1. Read PROJECT.md, STRUCTURE.md, UPDATE_LOG.md, DOCS.md, TODO.md, and session-handoff.md if present
2. Rescan current project files and update PROJECT.md current snapshot, module map, file structure, key file index, links, and progress sections
3. Preserve user-authored content where possible
4. Report and stop

I. "status" / "项目现状" / "where are we":

1. Read PROJECT.md and session-handoff.md
2. Also read TODO.md and latest UPDATE_LOG.md entry if present
3. If .claude/project-profile.json or .claude/profile-pending.json exists, read references/project-profile-system.md and include profile debt / review queue in the dashboard
4. Present a compact project dashboard in the configured language: Project, Active Work, Recent Change, Profile, Next Best Step
5. Report and stop

J. "foundation setup" / "profile setup" / "foundation repair" / "profile repair" / "profile sync":

1. Read references/project-profile-system.md
2. Execute the matching Profile System flow
3. Report and stop

End Session Flow

When triggered by "end session" / "结束会话" / "收工" / "we're done" / "wrap up" / "done for today" / "normal close" / "full close", execute in order:

1. Write session log → log/session-YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
   • Same-day multiple sessions: use slug to distinguish (e.g., session-2026-04-21-prd-draft.md)
   • Format: see Session Log Format below
2. Log Compaction → if unarchived raw logs ≥ threshold (default 10, configured in CLAUDE.md): read references/log-compaction.md and execute
3. Update session-handoff.md → refresh "current progress" and "next steps"
4. Update PROJECT.md → if structure/module status changed
5. Update TODO.md → mark completed tasks
6. Collect constitution candidates → append to .claude/candidates.md (see rules below)
7. Profile impact scan → if .claude/project-profile.json exists, .claude/profile-pending.json exists, or the user explicitly requested Normal Close / Full Close / profile sync:
   • Read references/project-profile-system.md
   • Run the Profile-Aware End Session flow
   • For Normal Close: record profile-impacting changes in .claude/profile-pending.json
   • For Full Close: produce a Scope Plan before changing profile docs
   • Do not rewrite protected sections, document policies, or stable baselines without explicit confirmation
8. File reorganization (incremental) → read references/file-reorganization.md, execute Mode B
   • If STRUCTURE.md missing: execute Mode A first to establish baseline
   • Update .claude/.file-snapshot.json
9. Document archiving → read references/document-archiving.md, scan and archive document output
   • Identify documents created/modified this session
   • Classify by type, archive to docs/ subdirectories
   • Update DOCS.md index and metadata
   • If DOCS.md missing: create it (upgrade compatibility)
10. Evaluate & write update log → read references/update-log.md

• Evaluate session significance
• If significant: determine bump level (major/minor/patch), calculate new version from UPDATE_LOG.md metadata, prepend versioned entry
• Optionally offer GitHub Release creation
• If not significant, skip silently

11. Output summary → result-focused summary in the configured language (check CLAUDE.md Language setting)

User-Facing Output Style

After end session, summarize outcomes instead of listing internal protocol steps:

Session saved.

Updated:
- Handoff refreshed
- TODO updated: {done count} done, {active count} active
- Project wiki synced
- Profile: {normal close / full close / no profile impact / profile pending count}
- Documents archived: {count}
- Update log: {version added or skipped}

Next:
- {next action}
- {next action}

Omit lines that do not apply. For status, answer as a compact dashboard:

Current Status

Project:
- Stage: {stage}
- Focus: {current focus}

Active Work:
- {active item}

Recent Change:
- {latest update log entry or "No milestone update yet"}

Profile:
- {profile shape / pending debt / review needed, only when profile files exist}

Next Best Step:
- {single recommended next step}

Session Log Format

Session log headers adapt to the configured language (read references/language-adaptation.md for glossary).

# Session YYYY-MM-DD — {topic}

## Session Goal
## Key Actions (Chronological)
## Decisions & Rationale
## Output Files
## Unfinished Items / Next Session Pickup
## CLAUDE.md Candidates (if any)

Constitution Candidate Rules

AI automatically appends to .claude/candidates.md when:

• User explicitly says "always do this" / "this is a rule" / "don't ever..."
• Same decision appears across multiple sessions
• Decision involves naming conventions, file structure, collaboration flow
• Decision involves tech stack or architecture constraints

Never promote candidates into CLAUDE.md automatically. All candidates require explicit user review via "review claude" before CLAUDE.md is changed.

TODO Format

Each task in TODO.md must include:

- [ ] {task description}
  Owner: {name} | Deadline: {date} | Dependencies: {prerequisite}

If user provides a task missing required fields, ask them to fill in. Completed tasks are checked and kept (not deleted).

Init Flow

Step 1: Detect Mode

Scan project root for: CLAUDE.md, PROJECT.md, session-handoff.md, TODO.md, log/, STRUCTURE.md, UPDATE_LOG.md, DOCS.md, docs/, .claude/.file-snapshot.json, .claude/candidates.md, .claude/project-profile.json, .claude/profile-pending.json

• Fresh: None exist → read references/project-profile-system.md and run Foundation Setup as the default setup path. Create the base 7-component memory stack, .claude/project-profile.json, .claude/profile-pending.json, and only the user-confirmed baseline docs. For lightweight projects, use maintenance.preference = "lightweight" and keep Required docs minimal instead of skipping profile state.
• Upgrade: Some exist → read references/upgrade-mode.md; if profile files are missing, also read references/project-profile-system.md and offer profile-aware upgrade using the latest Foundation Setup model
• Profile files present: profile files exist → preserve existing profile state and patch only schema-compatible missing fields

Step 2: Ask Questions

For Fresh initialization, follow Foundation Setup in references/project-profile-system.md: ask for the required setup basics, ask for a natural project description, infer the project shape, generate project-specific foundation areas, ask only targeted follow-up questions, and propose Required / Recommended / Optional documents before file creation.

AskUserQuestion should still keep setup lightweight. Make clear that the user can press Enter for recommended defaults.

Required:

1. 项目名称 — e.g., "达人营销AI", "Data Pipeline"
2. 一句话定义 — e.g., "AI-powered influencer marketing platform for US/EU markets"
3. 当前阶段 — e.g., "v1 MVP", "规划中", "已上线"

Recommended defaults:

4. GitHub 仓库 — optional, e.g., "org/repo-name" (default empty)
5. 是否创建 Cursor 规则文件 — yes/no (default yes)
6. 是否创建 Codex AGENTS.md — yes/no (default no)
7. 语言 / Language — en / zh / bilingual (default bilingual)
8. 版本命名方式 — choose one (default AI recommendation, fallback Semantic) 预设选项：Semantic (v0.1.0) / Codename ({project name} 0.1) / Patch (Patch 1) / Date (2026.06.1) AI 根据项目类型推荐：产品/品牌类→Codename / 游戏/内容类→Patch / 日志/研究类→Date / 默认→Semantic

Step 3: Create Files

Read references/file-templates.md + references/language-adaptation.md + references/document-archiving.md + references/project-profile-system.md.

Create each file using templates, replacing {{VARIABLES}} with user answers. For UPDATE_LOG.md, calculate the initial version based on the version style selection and current date (e.g., semantic → v0.1.0, date → 2026.06.1). Apply language adaptation rules and glossary from the reference.

Create log/.gitkeep (empty file) alongside log/ directory so git tracks it when empty.

Create .claude/.file-snapshot.json with empty content: {"lastScan":"","files":{}}.

Create .claude/project-profile.json, .claude/profile-pending.json, and confirmed Required profile baseline docs from the approved Foundation Setup proposal.

If the user enabled Cursor support, create .cursor/rules/project-system.mdc from Template 6.

If the user enabled Codex support, create AGENTS.md from Template 6b. If AGENTS.md already exists, do not overwrite it; offer to append the project-butler section after confirmation.

Step 4: Output Report

Adapt this report to the configured language:

Project memory is ready.

Daily commands:
- end session — save progress and next steps
- continue — resume next time
- status — check current state

Advanced:
- review claude — approve long-term rules when needed

Created:
- Project memory and handoff notes
- TODO tracking
- Document index
- Update log
- Profile config and pending queue: created
- File organization rules
- Cursor rules: created / skipped
- Codex AGENTS.md: created / skipped

Settings:
- Language: {{LANGUAGE}}
- Version style: {{VERSION_STYLE}} (starting: {{VERSION_INITIAL}})
