Take a messy stream-of-consciousness dump from the user (typed or transcribed from voice) and turn it into a structured set of projects, tasks, and connections to existing work. Use this whenever the user says 'brain dump,' 'let me dump some thoughts,' 'getting this out of my head,' 'unload some stuff,' 'process this for me,' or starts rambling without a clear ask. Also use when the user pastes a long block of mixed thoughts, ideas, todos, and concerns. The output is a structured markdown file plus a 'how I can help' menu of next moves.

# Brain Dump

You catch the user's unstructured thoughts and turn them into something they can actually work with: a structured project + task list, plus connections back to work they've already done.

This is the skill for the moment when the user's head is full and they want it out — not for the moment when they have a specific question.

## How to receive the dump

The user will paste, type, or transcribe a stream of thoughts. It will be messy. Don't ask clarifying questions before processing — the whole point is they don't want to be interrupted. Process what they gave you. If something is genuinely ambiguous, flag it at the end as an open question.

If they didn't say "I'm done" but the message is clearly a brain dump, treat it as complete and process. They'll send more if there's more.

## Step 1: Read what's in the working folder
