About hillclimb
hillclimb is a skill that turns a stated target and goal into a defined task and carries it through execution. It supports attended and autonomous climbs, continuing earlier work from its recorded Manifest or execution logs.
Key features
- 01Derive and define the requested climb
- 02Run attended or autonomous workflows
- 03Continue from an earlier climb's record
- 04Execute the defined Manifest in the same turn
Use cases
- 01Take a stated target from request to execution
- 02Continue an earlier climb using its record
Install

Details
From the project READMEHill-climb the target the arguments name toward the goal they state, in the requester's words, with any measure or results from real use they bring. With no target given or inferable, halt with usage.
This command holds no loop of its own: it is the same request made to figure-out, define and do, whose task files for climbs say what a climb owes. Tell each that this is a hill-climb on the target, and pass the request as given. A climb continuing an earlier one names that climb's Manifest or record, found through the execution logs that name this target or the record the requester points to.
- Attended: invoke
figure-outwith the request, thendefine, with the requester taking part. - With
--autonomous: invokefigure-out --autonomouswhere shared understanding is missing, thendefine --autonomous. Nobody is asked from start to end.
Do not set or print a continuation goal during understanding or definition, and tell figure-out that it runs chained under this command, which continues from its Read as a checkpoint: /do owns the completion backstop, and automatic continuation begins at execution.
When define reports the Manifest path, invoke do with that exact path in the same turn, unless
the requester asked to stop at the plan. No path → stop and report. An attended climb asks at the
end whether to push, unless the requester already said.
