SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Loads project-specific memories at session start and triggers onboarding for new projects. Use when starting a new coding session or when the user says "activate" or asks about project context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Baseline memory onboarding: if memories are missing, read onboarding-guide and onboard.
  • On activation, load memories and proceed with context.
  • Update memories via $writing-memories when you learn new information.

Quick Start

  1. Check ./.{AGENT_NAME}/skills/memories/ for memory skill folders.
  2. If empty or missing, read references/onboarding-guide.md and perform onboarding.
  3. Otherwise, read memories and proceed.
  4. If you learn new info, update the relevant memory via $writing-memories.

Frequently Asked Questions about activating-memories

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load project context automatically when starting a coding session?▼

Activating memories loads project-specific memories at session start by reading memory folders under ./.{AGENT_NAME}/skills/memories/. Each memory contains a SKILL.md file that provides baseline context, and if memories are missing, it triggers an onboarding workflow using onboarding-guide.md.

What happens if my project memories are empty or missing?▼

If memory folders are empty or absent, the Skill reads references/onboarding-guide.md and performs onboarding to establish baseline project knowledge. Once complete, memories are loaded for subsequent sessions.

How do I update project memories when I learn new information?▼

Use the $writing-memories function to update the relevant memory SKILL.md file with new project information. This ensures your memories stay current as you work through the project.

Can I use memory activation across multiple projects?▼

Yes. Memory activation supports multiple projects by maintaining separate memory folders under ./.{AGENT_NAME}/skills/memories/. Each project's memories load independently when you activate or start a new session.

When should I manually activate memories instead of relying on session start?▼

Manually activate memories when asking about project context mid-session or when you explicitly say 'activate'. This reloads memories on demand without restarting your session.

What's the difference between baseline onboarding and ongoing memory management?▼

Baseline onboarding runs once when memories are missing, using onboarding-guide.md to establish initial context. Ongoing memory management updates existing memories via $writing-memories as you learn new project details.
