memory-catch-up
Skill0 starsChanged 37 days agoMITView on GitHub
Catches up after a break by listing what was added to long-term Mnemoverse memory since a given time, newest first, in personal memory or in a shared room (beta). Use when the user returns to a project and asks \"where were we\", \"what happened since\", \"catch me up\", or \"any new messages in the room\", or at the start of a session that continues earlier work.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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
- Very specific: line 10
Look for the tool memory_list_recent.
- Distinctive: line 28
If nothing came back, say "nothing new since <time> in <scope>", not just "nothing new".
≈ “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.

Catch up on what changed
Check first
Look for the tool memory_list_recent. If it is missing, memory is not connected: say so in one sentence and use the bundled setup skill if it is installed, otherwise https://mnemoverse.com/docs/api/install-by-host.
Why a list, not a search
A search answers "what do I know about X". Catching up asks "what happened lately", and that needs the newest entries in order, without a query. memory_list_recent returns them newest first, and within one scope it skips nothing.
How to catch up
- Choose the scope. Personal memory needs no
domain. A shared room (beta) is a separate store: pass its address asdomain, or a room is never covered. If the room's address is not at hand,memory_list_roomslists the rooms the user owns or has joined, with their addresses. - Set the starting point. Pass
sincewith the time the user last looked, as an ISO 8601 instant. If the user does not know, use the start of the last working day and say so. - Read to the end. A page can be shorter than
limitwhen entries are long, and then it returns a cursor. Follow the cursor until the page says the feed has ended ("end of feed"); a short page that still carries a cursor is not the end, and neither is a page that says more entries exist but shows no cursor: then narrow the window withsinceanduntiland list again. Stopping at the first page reads as "nothing else happened" when it did. - Several scopes. For personal memory and a room (beta), run one listing per scope. They are not merged.
How to report
- Lead with what needs the user: questions addressed to them, decisions waiting for them, anything with a date that has passed.
- Then what was decided or changed, one line each, with who wrote it and when if that is recorded.
- Say which scopes and which time window were read, so the user knows what the summary covers.
- If nothing came back, say "nothing new since
<time>in<scope>", not just "nothing new".
