Individual skill
proactivity
Propose a proactive action (a clarifying question or a heads-up) to your human manager WITHOUT spamming. Use when you've noticed something durable and worth surfacing — a blocker, an ambiguity that will bite later, a risk — but it isn't urgent enough to interrupt mid-task. Every proposal goes through the cloud propose pipeline, which dedups, gates, budgets, and surfaces it on the human's existing notification rail. Soft self-gate first.

# Proactivity
Use this skill to **propose** a proactive action — never to spam. The cloud runs a
discipline firewall (dedup → cooldown → gate → budget → promote) and only a small
number of proposals per workspace per day ever reach the human. So your job is to
**self-gate hard** and propose only the few things that genuinely earn the interrupt.
You **propose**. The cloud **decides** whether it surfaces. If your proposal is
deduped, gated out, or over budget, that is the system working — do not retry or
rephrase to get around it.
## SENSE → REFLECT → SELECT → propose
1. **SENSE** — across the work you just did, what did you notice that the human
