# Help
Read the current repo state and recommend the next pipeline step. This skill does not do any work itself — it orients the user by pointing to the right next skill, citing the state it observed so the recommendation can be overruled.
This is the front door for users who are returning to a repo after a break, onboarding to Skill Kit for the first time, or stuck mid-pipeline and unsure which skill to invoke next.
## Invocation Position
This is a side-route skill. It reconnects to the main pipeline at whichever skill the diagnosis points to.
Use `/help` when:
- The user is starting a session in a repo that already uses Skill Kit and wants to know where they are in the pipeline
- The user has been away from a feature for a while and needs a refresher on what state the work is in
- A new team member is learning the pipeline and wants guidance rather than reading all of `references/SYSTEM-OVERVIEW.md`
- The user explicitly asks "what should I do next?" or "where am I?"
Do not use `/help`:
- To actually run the recommended skill — `/help` only recommends; the user runs the next skill themselves
- When the user already knows the next step and just wants to execute
- As a substitute for reading `references/SYSTEM-OVERVIEW.md` when the question is conceptual rather than state-specific
- For tasks unrelated to the feature pipeline (bug fixes with no upstream artifacts, one-off cleanups)
## Process
### 1. Gather repo state
Build a state snapshot in two phases: first dete
