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
- Distinctive: line 10
Before changing a project, recover the relevant working context.
- Very specific: line 14
Read WIKI.md, wiki/index.md, and AGENTS.md if present.
- Distinctive: line 16
Search local documentation for the task keywords.
- Distinctive: line 19
Treat current code, canonical docs, and live runtime as authoritative.
≈ “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
Project Memory Refresh
Before changing a project, recover the relevant working context.
Steps
- Read
WIKI.md,wiki/index.md, andAGENTS.mdif present. - Inspect git status, current branch, remotes, and recent commits.
- Search local documentation for the task keywords.
- If
.shipframe/memory/index.mdexists, checkshipframe.memory.setupin local Git config (or invokeproject-memory-state.sh status <repo-root>from the installed skill bundle). A localdeclinedstate means skip project memory for this checkout;enabledactivates 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. - If Engram memory tools are available, call
mem_contextfor the project; if recent context does not cover the task, usemem_searchwith 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. - 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.
- Summarize prior decisions, conventions, and likely drift-prone facts; flag what still needs live verification.
Output
## Project Context Refreshed
**Repo state:** <branch/status/remotes>
**Docs read:** <paths>
**Relevant conventions:** <bullets>
**Needs verification:** <bullets or "None">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.
