Ops Desk

Operate a project, workspace, or account from an agent-controlled desk.

This skill is the generic operations desk layer. It turns a state snapshot, an operator objective, and receipt-backed evidence into one safe ops desk packet: what is happening, what needs attention, what can be checked read-only, what requires approval, which governed lane should execute, and how success will be verified.

It is not the authority and it is not a second CLI. It does not replace domain skills from the registry (release, payments, board and thread products, and the like), provider-specific adapter skills, hosted API routes, repository workflows, or deploy commands. It routes to the existing interface with the smallest sufficient context and stops before any consequential act that lacks the right gate.

What this skill does

The default operate_from_projection runner reads bounded durable state before producing an ops desk packet for a manager dashboard, agent session, or self-operation run. The explicit operate runner accepts an already-supplied snapshot. Both classify findings, rank the next action, select the governed lane, name blockers, write the approval prompt when a human decision is required, and states the receipt/effect/readback that will prove success.

It is useful before an action and after an action:

• before action, it turns state into proposals and approval requests;
• after action, it checks whether the expected receipt and projection appeared.

The model may diagnose and write the operator rationale. The mutation itself must be a deterministic handoff to an existing skill runner, CLI command, hosted API route, workflow, or provider tool.

When the desk should start from durable state, use operate_from_projection. That runner reads a projection through data-store first, then passes the projection as the dashboard snapshot. The storage provider is still selected by the logical data_source_ref; ops desk does not know whether state came from SQLite, Postgres, D1, Redis, or a product API.
