SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps decide the most effective and efficient place to store information, ensuring it's discoverable when needed without cluttering essential contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Routing: Directs persistent information to the correct storage destination (e.g., CLAUDE.md, auto-memory, rules, skills).
  • Context Management: Balances discoverability with minimizing session load times by choosing appropriate storage layers.
  • Use Case: When you learn a new workflow or a team convention, this skill helps you decide whether to put it in a project-specific rule file, a personal preference file, or a skill description for broader discoverability.

Quick Start

Use the memory-placement skill to decide where to store a new team coding standard.

Frequently Asked Questions about memory-placement

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide where to store persistent context rules and team conventions?

Route persistent context rules and team conventions by evaluating their scope, access frequency, and writer. This determines the optimal storage destination, such as a project file or auto-memory, balancing discoverability with efficient session loading.

What is the best way to organize knowledge management files without cluttering context?

Organize knowledge management files by routing information to appropriate storage layers based on scope. This approach minimizes session load times while ensuring instructions and learnings remain discoverable when needed.

How does routing learnings to specific storage destinations improve context management?

Routing learnings to specific storage destinations improves context management by matching information scope to the correct storage layer. It separates broad rules from personal preferences, preventing context bloat and ensuring efficient retrieval.

Should I put new workflow instructions in project rules or auto-memory?

Place new workflow instructions in project rules or auto-memory based on their scope and access frequency. Broad team conventions belong in project-level files, while personal or task-specific learnings route to auto-memory or skill-specific files.

When should I not use centralized context files for storing team coding standards?

Avoid centralized context files for team coding standards when the information has narrow scope or low access frequency. Routing these details to skill-specific files prevents cluttering essential contexts and keeps session loading efficient.
