Refresh project context from memory, WIKI/AGENTS files, git state, and repo conventions before work.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Before changing a project, recover the relevant working context.

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    Read WIKI.md, wiki/index.md, and AGENTS.md if present.

    line 14
  3. Distinctive:

    Search local documentation for the task keywords.

    line 16
  4. Distinctive:

    Treat current code, canonical docs, and live runtime as authoritative.

    line 19

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Project Memory Refresh

Before changing a project, recover the relevant working context.

Steps

  1. Read WIKI.md, wiki/index.md, and AGENTS.md if present.
  2. Inspect git status, current branch, remotes, and recent commits.
  3. Search local documentation for the task keywords.
  4. If .shipframe/memory/index.md exists, check shipframe.memory.setup in local Git config (or invoke project-memory-state.sh status <repo-root> from the installed skill bundle). A local declined state means skip project memory for this checkout; enabled activates it. Otherwise read the index and only relevant linked notes. A committed index is the team opt-in signal for a fresh clone; it is not permission to publish changes.
  5. If Engram memory tools are available, call mem_context for the project; if recent context does not cover the task, use mem_search with focused keywords. If unavailable, continue from local memory/docs without installing or configuring anything. Engram and Git-backed memory are independent and must never be synchronized.
  6. Treat current code, canonical docs, and live runtime as authoritative. Include source/date for memory-derived claims and flag stale, unmerged, or contradictory entries. Never write or update memory in this refresh step.
  7. Summarize prior decisions, conventions, and likely drift-prone facts; flag what still needs live verification.

**Repo state:** <branch/status/remotes>
**Docs read:** <paths>
**Relevant conventions:** <bullets>

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
