## Description

Use when someone asks to level up their AIOS, close an audit gap, find what to automate next, or improve one workflow. Walks the 3Ms from choosing the constraint to shipping one useful artifact or verified repair.

## What this skill does

Walks the user through the 3Ms each week to surface and ship one new automation. **One interview = one artifact.** It also installs the 3Ms framework into the user's head over time, after 4-6 runs, the user starts spotting opportunities mid-week without prompting because the questions have become internal defaults.

This is the brain-rewire mechanism. The kit doesn't need cron jobs to anchor behavior; it needs `/level-up` running every Friday.

## What `/level-up` is NOT

- Not `/audit`. `/audit` is structural ("is the AIOS built right?"). `/level-up` is functional ("what business leverage am I missing?"). Run `/audit` first if structure is messy.
- Not a multi-candidate planner. One run = one shipped artifact.
- Not a coach. The user does the thinking. The skill conducts the interview.

## When `/level-up` runs

- **First run: Day 14.** After the user has connected ≥1 MCP/script and run `/audit` once. Earlier yields trivial output.
- **Cadence: weekly, Friday afternoon.** Review the week, surface one automation, ship Monday.
- **On-demand any time.** Mid-week if a manual task itches.

## Inputs the skill reads

First read the applicable operating manual. The paths below are starter-kit defaults: resolve priorities, identity, and connections through the current project's declared routes when it uses different locations. Do not create duplicate context files because these defaults are absent. Use `references/3ms-framework.md` if present; otherwise read the bundled [3Ms framework](references/3ms-framework.md). Ask only for information unavailable in the existing sources.
