memory-boost
Skill0 starsChanged 47 days agoMITView on GitHub
Router for the memory-boost CLI (markdown wiki for agents + drift reports + session digests). Use when the user asks what the memory knows, what is stale, what past sessions taught, or when you need to record a decision, checkpoint or lesson from the shell instead of MCP.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 16
Every reading command takes --json (field version pins the schema).
- Very specific: line 35
Prefer the MCP tools (memory_*) when the server is registered.
- Very specific: line 37
Do not edit log.md by hand.
- Very specific: line 38
If the CLI is missing: stop and say so (uv tool install memory-boost).
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
memory-boost
A router, not a manual. The installed binary's help is the reference: run memory-boost --help
once per session and memory-boost <cmd> --help before any subcommand you have not used yet.
Contract
- stdout = data, stderr = warnings/errors with a
fix:line. Exit 0 = trust stdout, 1 = not found / nothing to read, 2 = usage or invalid input. Never retry the same command on exit 2; read stderr and change the input. - Every reading command takes
--json(fieldversionpins the schema). - Reports end with a
next:line: run that command before inventing your own.
Routing
| Need | Command |
| Orient at session start (if the hook did not run) | memory-boost brief --cwd . |
| Find a page or decision | memory-boost recall "<words>" then memory-boost page <slug> |
| What in the memory is stale or contradictory | memory-boost drift (or --project <slug>) |
| How the user's sessions actually go (aggregates only) | memory-boost mine --since 7d |
| Lessons from other projects that apply here | memory-boost lessons --project <slug> |
| Record progress mid-session | memory-boost checkpoint --project … --session … --task … |
| Record a decision or session end | memory-boost save --project … --action … |
| Record a lesson that travels | memory-boost lesson --name … --title … --applies-when … --body - |
Guardrails
mineprints aggregates only; still, never paste transcript contents into the wiki or a report.- Prefer the MCP tools (
memory_*) when the server is registered; use the CLI for scripts, piping anddrift/mine, which have no MCP equivalent beyondmemory_drift. - Do not edit
log.mdby hand;saveappends it. Pages underwiki/are yours to edit. - If the CLI is missing: stop and say so (
uv tool install memory-boost). Do not reimplement it.
Done when
The user's question is answered from wiki content, or the write command printed saved: /
checkpoint: / lesson saved:.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
