# Knowledge Islands Activities

You are helping the user author, audit, and manage **Activity notes** in a Knowledge Islands base. An Activity is a named, intentional behaviour the base has adopted — automation, a scheduled task, an agentic capability, or a recurring manual process. This skill governs the Activity note format and `Activities.md` index; the activity note and its execution environment define what the behaviour does.

## The Activity model

Activity notes live at `Admin/Operations/Activities/<Activity Name>.md` and describe a single named behaviour the base has adopted. They are indexed by `Admin/Operations/Activities/Activities.md`.

Read the [Activity standard](references/standards-activities.md) before authoring, auditing, or conforming a collection. It owns the location and configuration boundary, frontmatter vocabulary, realization-specific fields, index contract, and safe index-conform boundary. [The exemplars](references/exemplars.md) show representative notes.

## Operating modes

An Activity that opts into a `housekeeping` mapping uses `ki-work-recurring` for recurring-work identity, eligibility, active-run reservation, and successful-run reconciliation in this same note. Declare that capability when using the profile; the optional dependency orders its checks when active without making every Activity recurring. No second definition belongs in Streams. Ordinary scheduled or conversational Activities do not acquire this lifecycle merely because they have a trigger.

Modes: **AUDIT · CONFORM · EDUCATE · NEW · REFRESH** (named, alphabetical). Invoked as `help` / `-h` / `?`, it explains itself and stops — the generated HELP block (name, purpose, invocation, modes, off-ramps), taking no action. With no mode it does the same, then, in an interactive session only, offers the mode choice via `AskUserQuestion`, prompting for any `argument-hint` target the chosen mode shows.

### Mode AUDIT

→ Read [references/mode-audit.md](references/mode-audit.md)

### Mode CONFORM

→ Read [references/mode-conform.md](references/mode-conform.md)

### Mode EDUCATE

→ Activate this skill with `ki repo skill add ki-repo-kb-activities`; `ki repo audit` and `ki repo conform` then execute its native rubric. To establish the collection itself, scaffold `Admin/Operations/Activities/` with its `Activities.md` index; **NEW** then authors individual activity notes into it.

### Mode NEW

→ Read [references/mode-new.md](references/mode-new.md)

### Mode REFRESH

→ Read [references/mode-refresh.md](references/mode-refresh.md)

## Delegated boundary

- `ki-repo-kb` — owns the Admin/Operations/ zone and the base-level audit. Its declared dependency edge delegates Activity-note governance here, so selecting `ki-repo-kb` runs this capability first. A focused `ki-repo-kb-activities` audit remains limited to the collection.
- `ki-skills` — authors a missing skill when a `slash-command` activity names one that does not exist.
- `ki-repo-harness` — the harness bundle layout; the checker resolves `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` relative to the harness root declared in the base's `.ki.toml`.

## Project bindings

Declare in the base's `.ki.toml` `[skills.ki-repo-kb-activities]` table:

```toml
[skills.ki-repo-kb-activities]
# Path to a harness root (absolute or relative to the base). Used to resolve skill names.
# harness = "../ki-agentic-harness"
#
# Folder holding activity notes, relative to the base (default: Admin/Operations/Activities).
# activities_dir = "Admin/Operations/Activities"
```

## Audit rubric

See [references/rubric.md](references/rubric.md) for the full rubric (mechanical + judgment).
