Fork Context Brief (FCB) — Resolve Before You Ask

Section titled “Fork Context Brief (FCB) — Resolve Before You Ask”

A forked skill (context: fork), Agent, or TeamCreate receiver runs with ZERO prior conversation history — ambiguous references ("the plan above", "plan B", "that report") cannot be resolved unless explicitly provided.

Rule

Section titled “Rule”

Sender: before invoking any fork, if the prompt contains an ambiguous reference (above/previous/that/this/the one, a bare plan A/B/C/option N/phase N with no path, or a pronoun pointing at a prior artifact), construct a Fork Context Brief and embed it — artifacts: are paths + a ≤120-char role, never file bodies or excerpts. Pass through an explicit path or a self-contained question unchanged.

Receiver: before responding “I don’t see X” to an ambiguous reference, attempt resolution from local signals — Brief → recent plans/reports → recent git activity → session transcript → user memory/CLAUDE.md — asking is the LAST resort.
