# Assess conversation knowledge
Use this skill to scan conversation content and identify topics with extractable knowledge value — a
structured assessment for the user's decision-making.
Governing intuition: **name what is worth extracting; do not prescribe what to do with it.** Include
even thin topics — omission is itself a prescription — and never inflate maturity or volume to
justify extraction.
**Input**: the conversation to assess — by default the current one; if the user names a span or topic, scope to that.
**Boundary**: assesses and reports only — does not create artifacts, modify files, invoke other skills, or recommend next steps.
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Thread Identification
Scan the conversation chronologically. Identify distinct discussion topics by semantic shift: a new
subject, question, problem, or decision path starts a new thread.
Use this granularity rule:
- Split compound topics only when they reach independent conclusions.
- Keep topics merged when they share one conclusion chain.
- Include low-value or thin topics; omission is a form of prescription.
### Phase 2: Per-Topic Assessment
Assess each topic independently across nature, maturity, attribution, volume, and expansion
cues.
#### Nature
Classify with the first matching test:
| # | Test | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Records a decision process with alternatives evaluated | Decision Record |
| 2 | Derives principles applicable beyond the current project | Universal Principle |
| 3 | Sol
