Maliot100XSkillsend-user-message
Send a proactive message to a paired user via their channel (Discord, Telegram, or WhatsApp). Use when the agent needs to notify, alert, or send an unsolicited message to a user — especially during heartbeat invocations, scheduled tasks, or when the agent wants to reach out without a prior user message in the current conversation. Triggers: 'send message to user', 'notify user', 'alert user', 'message the user on discord/telegram/whatsapp', or any need to proactively communicate with a paired sender.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 82 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 49
Ask which type: project / user / feedback / reference.
- Distinctive: line 50
Ask for the title (slug becomes the filename).
- Distinctive: line 51
Ask for the description (one line — used for relevance scoring later).
- Very specific: line 52
Ask for the body. For project/ and feedback/, prompt for Why: and How to apply: explicitly.
- Distinctive: line 85
Never write a memory the user didn't volunteer.
- Distinctive: line 86
Always update over add when the topic overlaps.
- Distinctive: line 87
Always convert relative dates to absolute.
- Distinctive: line 88
Never put secrets, API keys, tokens, or PII into memory.
- Very specific: line 89
Always update the MEMORY.md index when adding/removing.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 82 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.
Files
/memory
Operate on .claude/memory/. Memory persists across sessions and is shared across all 12 toolkit agents.
Subcommands
list (default)
Print the current memory index, grouped by type. One line per entry: name, description, last-verified date.
## Project (4)
- monorepo-layout — apps/, packages/, infra/. Yarn workspaces. (2026-04-18)
- billing-flag-state — webhook still off in prod, on in staging. (2026-05-01)
- migration-plan-q3 — auth migration to Lucia, target 2026-07-01. (2026-04-30)
…
## User (2)
- role — senior eng, owns the platform team. (2026-04-15)
- preferences — terse responses; no emojis; vitest over jest. (2026-04-15)
## Feedback (1)
- no-mocks-in-integration — integration tests must hit real DB. (2026-04-22)
## Reference (1)
- linear-eng-board — pipeline bugs tracked in Linear project ENG. (2026-04-15)
## Inherited (0)
## Handoffs (3)
- 2026-05-01 — auth migration shipped; billing flag pending.
- 2026-04-30 — design system v2 RFC opened.
- 2026-04-29 — initial repo onboarding.search <query>
Find memories whose name, description, or body matches the query. Use to remind yourself of context before answering a related question.
save
Walk through writing a new memory:
- Ask which type: project / user / feedback / reference.
- Ask for the title (slug becomes the filename).
- Ask for the description (one line — used for relevance scoring later).
- Ask for the body. For
project/andfeedback/, prompt for Why: and How to apply: explicitly. - Show the file you're about to write. Get confirmation.
- Write the file.
- Update
.claude/memory/MEMORY.mdindex.
Frontmatter:
---
name: <title>
type: project | user | feedback | reference
description: <one-line>
created: 2026-05-02
last-verified: 2026-05-02
---
<body>update <name>
Find the memory by name. Show its current contents. Ask what to change. Update the file and bump last-verified.
delete <name>
Find the memory. Show what would be deleted. Ask for confirmation. Delete the file and remove the line from MEMORY.md.
dedupe
Scan memories within each type for likely duplicates (same topic phrased differently). Surface candidates. Never auto-merge — always show pairs and ask which to keep.
Behavioral rules (enforced by the auto-loaded memory-discipline rule)
- Never write a memory the user didn't volunteer.
- Always update over add when the topic overlaps.
- Always convert relative dates to absolute.
- Never put secrets, API keys, tokens, or PII into memory.
- Always update the
MEMORY.mdindex when adding/removing.
Output format
For list, render the grouped index above. For search, show matching memories with their full body. For save / update / delete, show before/after diffs and confirm before writing.
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.
