SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Import portable YAML instinct packs into your vault with confidence-gated merge to prevent clobbering existing instincts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safely merge external instinct packs into the local vault, updating only higher-confidence imports and routing new packs into inherited/ for review.
  • Provide deterministic merge behavior with explicit rules to add, update, or skip based on import confidence to preserve local instincts and guardrails.

Quick Start

Run a dry-run first to preview changes, then apply the import PACK.yaml to merge into your vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely merge YAML instinct packs into a vault without overwriting existing data?

Use confidence-gated merge to import YAML instinct packs, which prevents clobbering by skipping equal-or-lower confidence imports and only applying higher-confidence updates to existing instincts.

What is a confidence-gated merge for importing instinct packs?

Confidence-gated merge is a deterministic import process that compares instinct confidence levels, adding new packs to inherited/, updating existing instincts only if the import has higher confidence, and skipping equal-or-lower ones.

Can I preview changes before applying a YAML instinct pack import?

Yes, you can run a dry-run first to preview all proposed changes and verify deterministic merge outcomes before actually applying the PACK.yaml import to your vault.

How do I share and import instincts across different teammates or tools?

Export instincts as portable YAML packs and import them into the target vault, where new packs are automatically routed to inherited/ for review, enabling safe and auditable memory augmentation across teammates.

What are the limitations of using confidence levels to merge instincts?

The deterministic merge rules strictly prevent updating existing instincts with equal-or-lower confidence imports, meaning you cannot force-overwrite higher-confidence local instincts without manually adjusting their confidence values first.

Does instinct-import require any external dependencies to process YAML files?

No external dependencies are required; the Skill operates using internal scripts to execute deterministic merge rules and dry-run capabilities directly on your local YAML instinct packs.
