Memory Skill — Codex

What problem does it solve?

It helps Codex interact with your long-term memory vault by performing targeted retrieval before work and applying a safe write protocol after the task finishes, so the agent updates knowledge without corrupting canonical documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Retrieval pipeline before action: Reads the vault index, finds relevant starting nodes, traverses links to depth 2, and builds a task-ready context (constraints, active decisions, open questions, in-progress tasks).
• Write gate with conservative updates: Finds 1–3 canonical candidates, decides whether to update an existing canonical document or create a new one from templates, and updates timestamps accordingly.
• Correct linking and index maintenance: Forces links into written/updated docs, updates memory/indexes/mem-index-vault.md using the approved rules, and checks for consolidation opportunities.

Quick Start

Run the Codex workflow for your next task by first building context via the retrieval pipeline in the specified vault index and then applying the post-task write gate for memory updates.
