v3.0: The Cascade — end-to-end goals-to-tasks flow

Add /project and /monthly skills to complete the cascade chain from
3-year vision through daily tasks. Add agent memory, model hints,
agent team workflows, and cascade context surfacing across all skills.

New skills:
- /project (new, status, archive) — bridge between goals and daily tasks
- /monthly — roll up weekly reviews, check quarterly milestones

Agent upgrades:
- memory: project on all 4 agents for cross-session learning
- Agent team workflow in /weekly for parallel reviews

Skill enhancements:
- /daily: cascade context surfacing (ONE Big Thing, project next-actions)
- /weekly: project progress table, agent team coordination
- /goal-tracking: project-aware progress, orphan goal detection
- /onboard: auto-discover and summarize active projects
- model: sonnet on goal-tracking, obsidian-vault-ops, push, onboard

Infrastructure:
- session-init.sh surfaces priorities, project count, review staleness
- settings.json adds cp/mv permissions for project archiving

+# Monthly Review Skill
+
+Facilitates monthly review and planning by rolling up weekly reviews, checking quarterly milestones, and setting next month's focus.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+/monthly              # Run monthly review for current month
+```
+
+Or ask:
+- "Help me with my monthly review"
+- "Plan next month"
+- "How did this month go?"
+
+## What This Skill Does
+
+1. **Creates or opens monthly goals file** (`Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md`)
+2. **Rolls up weekly reviews** from the past month
+3. **Checks quarterly milestones** against yearly goals
+4. **Plans next month's** focus areas and priorities
+
+## Review Process
+
+### Phase 1: Collect Monthly Data (10 minutes)
+
+1. Read all weekly reviews from the past month (`Goals/3. Weekly Review.md` or weekly review notes)
+2. Read daily notes from past 30 days (scan for patterns)
+3. Read current `Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md` for this month's targets
+4. Scan `Projects/*/CLAUDE.md` for project status updates
+
+**Extract:**
+- Wins from each week
+- Challenges and recurring blockers
+- Goal progress percentages
+- Project milestones completed
+- Habits tracked (completion rates)
+
+### Phase 2: Reflect on Month (10 minutes)
+
+1. Read `Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md` for quarterly milestones
+2. Calculate which quarter we're in and check milestone progress
+3. Identify patterns across weeks (energy, productivity, focus areas)
+4. Compare planned vs actual outcomes
+
+**Generate:**
+- Monthly accomplishment summary
+- Quarterly milestone progress check
+- Pattern analysis (what worked, what didn't)
+- Goal alignment assessment
+
+### Phase 3: Plan Next Month (10 minutes)
+
+1. Identify next month's quarterly milestones
+2. Surface projects that need attention
+3. Set next month's primary focus (ONE thing)
+4. Define 3-tier priorities (must/should/nice-to-have)
+5. Plan habits to build or maintain
+
+**Write:**
+- Update `Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md` with next month's plan
+- Set specific weekly milestones for the month ahead
+
+## Output Format
+
+```markdown

+
+Always read these files:
+- `Goals/0. Three Year Goals.md` - Long-term vision context
+- `Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md` - Quarterly milestones and annual objectives
+- `Goals/2. Monthly Goals.md` - Current month's plan (to review) and next month's (to write)
+- `Goals/3. Weekly Review.md` - Weekly reviews from past month
+- `Daily Notes/*.md` - Past 30 days of notes
+- `Projects/*/CLAUDE.md` - All active project statuses

+# Project Skill
+
+Create, track, and archive projects that bridge the gap between goals and daily tasks.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+/project              # Interactive: create new project or view status
+/project new          # Create a new project
+/project status       # Dashboard of all active projects
+/project archive <name>  # Archive a completed project
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### `/project` or `/project new`
+
+Creates a new project folder with a CLAUDE.md context file, interactively linked to a goal.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Read `Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md` to list available goals
+2. Ask user which goal this project supports (or "none" for standalone)
+3. Ask for project name
+4. Create `Projects/<ProjectName>/CLAUDE.md` with structure below
+5. If linked to a goal, add `[[Projects/<ProjectName>]]` reference in the yearly goals file
+
+**Project CLAUDE.md Template:**
+```markdown
+# Project: <Name>
+
+## Overview
+[Brief description of what this project achieves]
+
+## Goal Link
+Supports: [[1. Yearly Goals#<Goal Name>]]
+
+## Status
+- **Phase:** Planning | Active | Review | Complete
+- **Progress:** 0%
+- **Started:** <date>
+- **Target:** <date>
+
+## Key Decisions
+- [Decision 1] - [Date] - [Rationale]
+
+## Next Actions
+- [ ] [First concrete step]
+- [ ] [Second step]
+
+## Notes
+[Running log of updates, blockers, learnings]
+```
+
+### `/project status`
+
+Scans all `Projects/*/CLAUDE.md` files and displays a dashboard.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Glob for `Projects/*/CLAUDE.md`
+2. Read each file, extract: name, status/phase, progress%, goal linkage, next action
+3. Display dashboard table
+
+**Output Format:**
+```markdown
+## Project Dashboard
+
+| Project | Phase | Progress | Goal | Next Action |
+|---------|-------|----------|------|-------------|
+| ProjectA | Active | 60% | [[Goal 1]] | Review PR |
+| ProjectB | Planning | 10% | [[Goal 3]] | Draft spec |
+
+### Summary
+- Active projects: N
+- Total progress (weighted): X%
+- Projects without goal link: [list]
+- Stalled projects (no update in 14+ days): [list]
+```
+
+### `/project archive <name>`
+
+Moves a completed project to the archives.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Verify `Projects/<name>/` exists
+2. Confirm with user before archiving
+3. Update project CLAUDE.md status to "Complete" and progress to 100%
+4. Move folder: `mv Projects/<name> Archives/Projects/<name>`
+5. Create `Archives/Projects/` directory if it doesn't exist
+6. Update any goal references to note completion
+7. Report what was archived
+
+## Project Naming Conventions
+
+- Use PascalCase for folder names: `Projects/LearnSpanish/`
+- Keep names concise but descriptive
+- Avoid special characters
+
+## Cascade Integration
+
+Projects are the critical middle layer:
+
+```
+Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md     <- "What I want to achieve"
+    |
+    v
+Projects/*/CLAUDE.md         <- "How I'll achieve it" (THIS SKILL)
+    |
+    v
+Daily Notes/*.md             <- "What I'm doing today"
+```
+
+When creating tasks in daily notes, reference the project:
+```markdown
+- [ ] Draft API spec — [[Projects/MyApp/CLAUDE.md|MyApp]]
+```
+
+## Task-Based Progress Tracking
+
+### New Project Tasks
+```
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Read yearly goals"
+  description: "Load goals for project linking"
+  activeForm: "Reading yearly goals..."
+
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Create project structure"
+  description: "Create folder and CLAUDE.md for new project"
+  activeForm: "Creating project structure..."
+
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Link project to goal"
+  description: "Add project reference to yearly goals file"
+  activeForm: "Linking project to goal..."
+```
+
+### Status Dashboard Tasks
+```
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Scan project files"
+  description: "Glob and read all Projects/*/CLAUDE.md files"
+  activeForm: "Scanning project files..."
+
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Generate dashboard"
+  description: "Compile status dashboard from project data"
+  activeForm: "Generating project dashboard..."
+```
+
+Mark each task `in_progress` when starting, `completed` when done.

 Task tools are session-scoped and don't persist between Claude sessions—your actual weekly review content is saved in the review note.
 
+## Agent Team Workflow (Optional)
+
+For a faster, more thorough weekly review, use agent teams to parallelize the collection phase:
+
+```
+Team Lead (coordinator)
+├── collector agent — Read all daily notes, extract wins/challenges/tasks
+├── goal-analyzer agent — Read goal files, calculate progress, find gaps
+└── project-scanner agent — Scan Projects/*/CLAUDE.md, get status updates
+```
+
+### How to Use
+When invoking `/weekly`, you can request the team-based approach:
+```
+/weekly
+"Use the team approach for a thorough review"
+```
+
+The team lead:
+1. Spawns three agents to work in parallel
+2. Collector reads daily notes and extracts highlights
+3. Goal-analyzer reads all goal files and calculates progress
+4. Project-scanner reads all project CLAUDE.md files for status
+5. Team lead synthesizes findings into the weekly review note
+
+This makes the review faster (parallel collection) and more thorough (dedicated analysis per area).
+
+### Vault Health Check (Ad-hoc)
+
+The weekly review can optionally include a vault health check using multiple agents:
+- **note-organizer**: Scan for broken links, orphan notes
+- **goal-aligner**: Check daily-to-goal alignment
+- **inbox-processor**: Check for unprocessed items
+
+Request with: "Include a vault health check in my weekly review"
+
