SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a repeatable, auditable workflow to archive temporary MERLIN agents once their task completes, handle unarchive when scope expands, and document re-archival triggers, reducing roster drift and improving governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect archival triggers when a temp's scope is complete.
  • Decide between archiving or retaining based on the Retain-vs-Archive rules.
  • Update the Temporary Agents roster by flipping Status to Archived (YYYY-MM-DD) or back to Active.
  • Record, format, and locate re-archival triggers as blockquotes for future sessions.
  • Keep file locations stable (no filesystem moves) and preserve agent identity.

Quick Start

Use this skill to archive a completed temporary agent by flipping their roster status and recording a re-archival trigger.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive temporary MERLIN agents after task completion?▼

To archive temporary MERLIN agents, this workflow validates scope completion, flips the Temporary Agents roster status from Active to Archived with a YYYY-MM-DD date, and records re-archival triggers without moving files.

What is the process for unarchiving a temp agent when scope expands?▼

Unarchiving a temp agent involves flipping the roster status back to Active and recording the re-archival trigger as a blockquote for future sessions, ensuring the agent's file location and identity remain stable.

When should I use an automated archival workflow for temporary agents?▼

You should use an automated archival workflow when a temporary agent's assigned scope is finished, ensuring roster drift is reduced and offboarding governance is maintained through auditable status updates.

Does archiving a MERLIN temp agent move files on the filesystem?▼

Archiving a MERLIN temp agent does not move files on the filesystem; it keeps file locations stable and preserves agent identity by only updating the roster status and recording archival triggers.

How does the retain-vs-archive rule decide whether to offboard a temp agent?▼

The retain-vs-archive rule decides whether to offboard a temp agent by evaluating if the defined scope is truly complete, applying governance checks before flipping the status to Archived and preserving history.
