Ember Help

Tells you where you stand and which Ember skill to use next. Ask it whenever you are unsure what to do, so you never need to remember a skill's name.

When to Use

• You just finished setup and do not know what comes next.
• You are back on a project after time away.
• You want to know what Ember can do for you.

What to Say

• "What's my next step?"
• "What can Ember do?"
• "Where am I with this project?"
• "Which Ember skill do I use for this?"

What Happens

1. The agent checks your workstation status from the last ember-workstation run.
2. If you are inside a project, it reads ember-project.yaml, runs the context linter, and looks for the evidence index.
3. It tells you the next step, why, and the exact words to ask, for example "Finish my workstation setup." It offers to start that skill.
4. Asked what Ember can do, it lists every skill with an example prompt and a link to its README.

The next step follows the Ember journey: finish the workstation, put the project on the standard, fix lint errors, set up the evidence index, close readiness gaps, request a sandbox, wait for the operator, and then, for production, go through Accreditation and AiRB.

What It Never Does

• Change anything. It only reads.
• Guess. When it cannot tell, it says so.
• Call a network service.
• Treat a sandbox or a clean readiness report as production approval.

What It Changes

Nothing.

Run It Without an Agent
