    deploy-verify

    Verify a Vercel deployment actually went live and serves the correct production domain. Self-improving: reads its own run history before checking and logs the outcome after. Use when the user asks "did you deploy?", "is it live?", "verify the deploy", "check vercel", or after any Vercel deploy. Part of the Agentic OS (Level 1 backbone).

    reflect

    Learning capture system that extracts HIGH/MED/LOW confidence patterns from conversations to prevent repeating mistakes. Use after user corrections ("no", "wrong"), praise ("perfect", "exactly"), or when discovering edge cases. Complements .squad/agents/{agent}/history.md and .squad/decisions.md.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

7 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 32 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

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

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 32 edited versions of this file we could read. “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.

Session Start Protocol

Run these steps at the beginning of every session, before any task work.

1. Load directives

Call mcp__hindsight__recall with:

  • bank_id: adam-global
  • query: durable directives preferences workflow defaults coding standards model strategy

Then call mcp__hindsight__recall again with:

  • bank_id: the current derived project-* or workspace-* bank
  • query: repository conventions architecture commands failures patterns

Read all results. The global bank carries durable user/workflow rules; the project/workspace bank carries repository-specific context.

2. Load mental models

Call mcp__hindsight__recall with:

  • bank_id: the current derived project-* or workspace-* bank
  • query: mental model primitives agents workflows integrations architecture

Read all results. This is your architectural map.

3. Recall task-specific context (if task is known)

Call mcp__hindsight__recall with:

  • bank_id: the current derived project-* or workspace-* bank
  • query: <the specific module, feature, or component you are about to work on>

4. Orient with CGC

Call mcp__codegraphcontext__get_repository_stats to confirm the graph is current.

If the task involves specific files/functions, also call mcp__codegraphcontext__find_code for the target to understand its position in the graph.

5. Acknowledge

State briefly what you loaded — directives active, mental models loaded, current graph stats — so the user knows the session started warm.

Session End: Retain

Before ending the session or after completing a significant task, call mcp__hindsight__retain with the appropriate bank and content covering:

  • adam-global for durable cross-project preferences or reusable workflow patterns
  • the current derived project-* or workspace-* bank for repository-specific decisions, failures, commands, and architectural insights

Use this format for the content:

[type: decision|pattern|failure|insight] <what happened>
Rationale/why: <the reason>
Context: <module or area affected>

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.
