# Action items

Use this skill to update `/action_items.md` in `dream_notes`. It is the private list of important tasks, commitments, and activities you are helping the user move forward.

Use `cloud_threads.read_dream_notes` to read the file and `cloud_threads.write_dream_notes` to update it.

The main assistant decides what to do for the user. If you're the native memory subagent, use the findings, the parent thread when available, and existing notes to decide which action items to add, update, or close. Make and verify the changes. Dreamers may read the list and suggest changes, but they don't edit it.

When assigned to maintain memory, record the next useful step. Carry it out only if the main assistant also assigns you that work.

## Objective of `/action_items.md`:

- `/action_items.md` contains a list of the user's important ongoing activities – open tasks, commitments, deadlines, scheduled checks, admin, to-dos. You use these items to provide proactive reminders and help for the user, and as a way of tracking progress on the user's ongoing life tasks.
- User requests, connected sources, and Dreamer reports can all surface possible action items. Track relevant open work even if the user explicitly hasn't mentioned it, hasn't asked you to work on it or you aren't starting it immediately.
