- [find-the-subject](https://starlingshq.com/skills/find-the-subject): Find the subject (project, lead, partner or event) a request is about before you act on it.

- [read-the-chain](https://starlingshq.com/skills/read-the-chain): Read a subject's history (calls, decisions, open tasks, goals, recent messages) before you write anything to it.

- [file-to-the-subject](https://starlingshq.com/skills/file-to-the-subject): File every output (a task, a document, a message, an issue, a note) to the subject it is about, with attribution.

- [propose-dont-apply](https://starlingshq.com/skills/propose-dont-apply): Propose a consequential change and wait for approval before you apply it.
