Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory --skill write-agentmemory-skill- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads write-agentmemory-skill automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
agentmemory skills follow one tiered format so they stay skimmable, accurate, and current. Match it exactly.
Directory layout
plugin/skills/<name>/
SKILL.md (required, under 100 lines)
REFERENCE.md (optional, dense facts; auto-generate data tables)
EXAMPLES.md (optional, worked transcripts)
TROUBLESHOOTING.md (generated support file)
SKILL.md rules
- Frontmatter:
name,description, optionalargument-hint, anduser-invocable. Setuser-invocable: trueonly for skills the user runs as a slash command; reference and knowledge skills arefalse. - Description is two sentences and the only thing the agent sees when deciding to load the skill. Sentence one states the capability. Sentence two starts "Use when" and lists concrete triggers. Keep it distinct from sibling skills, under 1024 chars, third person.
- Body order: Quick start (one concrete example), Why (the governing principle), Workflow (numbered steps with decision gates), Anti-patterns (a WRONG vs RIGHT callout for the top mistake), Checklist, See also (cross-link siblings), Reference or Troubleshooting pointer.
- Stay under 100 lines. Move dense facts to REFERENCE.md and examples to EXAMPLES.md.
- Keep supporting files inside the skill directory so each skill works when installed separately. Link TROUBLESHOOTING.md; the generator copies shared recovery instructions into each skill root.
Keep it current
Facts that exist in source (tool names and parameters, REST endpoints, env vars, connect adapters, hook events) are generated, never hand-typed. Edit the source, then run npm run skills:gen. CI runs npm run skills:check and fails on drift, so generated tables cannot fall behind the code.
Style
No external or competitor product names. No emojis. No em-dashes. No filler. State the thing and stop.
Checklist
- Description has a "Use when" sentence with real triggers.
- SKILL.md is under 100 lines.
- No time-sensitive claims and no duplicated troubleshooting block.
- Concrete example present; generated facts come from the generator.
- Cross-links resolve and go one level deep.
