Fieldwork Skills

Judgment in folders, before that became the obvious shape.

Fieldwork Skills is a public collection of operational runbooks for AI coding agents: browser automation, web search, Google Workspace, summarization, vault access, image generation, ranking, video generation, and the early agent-mux / coordinator patterns.

The repo came from real daily usage. A skill is not a prompt that says "search the web". It is the decision tree, setup path, recovery notes, tool routing, and failure memory that lets an agent handle a class of work without rediscovering every sharp edge.

I call it legacy now because my private skill system and Pratchett-OS workflow moved beyond the repo shape. But it still captures the key idea: agents get better when operational judgment is packaged as reusable, inspectable procedures rather than hidden in one enormous system prompt.

Receipts: public repo, Robots V4, and the agent-mux post.
