--- > **Imprint**, *verb.* To stamp a mark that cannot be erased. > *noun.* The mark itself, permanent, portable, unmistakably yours. > > In ethology, *imprinting* is the moment a young animal learns, once and > forever, who it belongs to. In printing, an *imprint* is the publisher's > signature pressed into every page. In both meanings, something is **marked > at its core**, and that mark travels with it. > > This project is that mark, for human-AI work. --- ## What this is **Imprint** is a single plugin that captures **how *you* work** and carries it across every AI agent you use. On first run, the skill has a short conversation with you. **Not about your project, about you.** How you debug, how you plan, how you write commits, what you've shipped, what went wrong, what you prefer. That conversation becomes a **portable profile**, a working imprint, stored alongside your code. Under 500 tokens. Structured. Readable. Yours. Every session after that, the skill applies your imprint automatically: your code style, your review standards, your planning rhythm, your design taste, your git habits. Portable across any SKILL.md-compatible agent. **Switch models. Switch platforms. Switch teams. Your imprint comes with you.** --- ## Install ### Claude Code (recommended) ``` /install imprint ``` [View on Claude Code Marketplace](https://platform.claude.com/plugins/imprint) ### Any SKILL.md-compatible agent (universal) Copy `skills/imprint/SKILL.md` into your agent's skills directory. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Roo, and any agent that reads SKILL.md files. ```bash git clone https://github.com/ilang-ai/Imprint.git cp Imprint/skills/imprint/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/imprint/SKILL.md ``` Replace `~/.claude/skills/` with your agent's skills path. ### Hermes Agent ```bash hermes skills install ilang-ai/Imprint ``` ### Cursor Browse and install from [Cursor Directory](https://cursor.directory/plugins/imprint). ### VS Code / VS Code forks Search "Imprint" in the Extensions panel, or: - [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ILang.imprint) - [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/ILang/imprint) - [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/ILang/imprint) The VS Code extension auto-installs SKILL.md to 14 agent directories on your machine. --- ## What It Overlaps With Imprint covers ground that these skills address individually. Not a drop-in replacement for all of them, but a single file that handles the common cases. | Instead of installing... | Imprint covers this by | | :--------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `claude-mem` (memory) | Stores **how you work**, not what happened. ~90% smaller. | | `Caveman` (compression) | Structured format is the default, not a mode. | | `onboard` | Project context extraction on first run. | | Code-review skills | Review against **your** standards, not universal rules. | | `systematic-debugging` | Architecture first, then binary search. Lessons become immunity. | | `superpowers` (planning) | Your rhythm, not a fixed methodology. | | Progress-tracking skills | Auto-checkpoint on meaningful state changes. | | TDD skills | Resources decide strategy, multi-model or single, auto-adapts. | | Git-workflow skills | Searchable commits, README as landing page when discoverability is on. | | `seo-audit` | Structured output is more parseable by AI search engines. | | Copywriting skills | Tone, terminology, and rhythm derived from your imprint. | **One file. Eleven capability areas. Depth varies by area.** --- ## Compatibility
| Agent | Status | Install | | :-------------- | :----------: | :----------------------------------- | | **Hermes** | native | `hermes skills install ilang-ai/Imprint` | | **VS Code** | extension | [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ILang.imprint) | | **Claude Code** | marketplace | `/install imprint` | | **Cursor** | directory | [Cursor Directory](https://cursor.directory/plugins/imprint) | | **Codex CLI** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.codex/skills/imprint/` | | **Copilot** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.github/skills/imprint/` | | **Gemini CLI** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.gemini/extensions/imprint/skills/imprint/` | | **Windsurf** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.windsurf/skills/imprint/`| | **Trae** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.trae/skills/imprint/` | | **Cline** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.cline/skills/imprint/` | | **Roo** | SKILL.md | copy to `~/.roo/skills/imprint/` |
**native** = one-command install from the platform's skill registry. **directory** = listed in the platform's plugin directory. **extension** = VS Code extension with auto-install to 14 agent directories. **SKILL.md** = copy the file to the agent's skills directory. --- ## Your imprint is yours The imprint is a **plain text file** sitting next to your code. You own it. - **Read** it, no black box, no vendor cache - **Edit** it, nudge a preference, commit the change - **Version** it, it's just git - **Share** it, hand it to a teammate, they inherit your working style - **Port** it, every SKILL.md agent speaks the same file Switch tools, the imprint comes with you. No lock-in. Ever. --- ## Schema at a glance ```text META schema version, timestamps, session count CORE global behavioral genes with confidence and scope GENE traits (T:) and anti-patterns (A:), conditional via when: FACT verifiable environment data (stack, deploy target, model access) PROJECT repo-specific overrides, stack, constraints, mismatches LESSONS cross-project traps, accumulated from real experience PROGRESS milestone-only checkpoints, auto-summarized every 10 entries RUNTIME current mode settings (transparency, speed, compression) DECAY lifecycle rules for tentative genes and inactive projects ``` Core imprint stays under 500 tokens. Project and progress layers can grow. --- ## Example: real .dna.md This is what an actual profile looks like after a few sessions: ``` ::DNA{user} ::META{schema:2.0|updated:2026-04-18|sessions:5} ::CORE{ ::CONTEXT{role:fullstack_dev|experience:4yr|model_access:2|discoverability:yes} ::GENE{style|conf:confirmed|scope:global} T:conclusions_first T:minimal_output|when:task_simple T:full_detail|when:task_complex A:verbose_without_signal⇒waste ::GENE{planning|conf:confirmed|scope:global} T:build_first_plan_later A:monolithic_spec⇒reject ::GENE{debug|conf:4/5|scope:global} T:check_architecture_before_code A:guess_from_error_message⇒wrong_direction } ::FACT{ ::ITEM{key:preferred_stack|value:react,node|conf:confirmed} ::ITEM{key:models_used|value:claude,gpt|conf:confirmed} } ::PROJECT{repo:my-saas} ::STACK{frontend:next.js|backend:node|db:postgres} ::CONSTRAINT{auth:clerk|deploy:vercel} } ::LESSONS{ ::LESSON{id:middleware_order_matters|type:debug|scope:project|conf:confirmed} ::LESSON{id:always_check_env_vars_first|type:deploy|scope:cross_project|conf:3/5} } ::PROGRESS{ ::ITEM{date:2026-04-18|done:auth_flow|learned:clerk_webhook_needs_raw_body|next:stripe_integration} } ::RUNTIME{transparency:quiet|speed:balanced|compression:structured_default} ::DECAY{tentative_unseen_30d=>remove|repeated_3x=>confirm|progress_10_items=>summarize} ::END{DNA} ``` 312 tokens. Carries code style, debugging approach, project context, lessons, and progress across every session and every agent. --- ## Changelog ### v2.1 (2026-04-19) - **Add** Hermes Agent compatibility: native install via `hermes skills install ilang-ai/Imprint` - **Add** agentskills.io-compatible frontmatter (version, author, metadata.hermes.tags) - **Update** compatibility table and install docs ### v2.0 (2026-04-18) - **Schema 2.0**: CORE/PROJECT layered separation. Global genes no longer mix with project overrides. - **Conditional genes**: `T:minimal|when:simple` + `T:full_detail|when:complex`. Context-dependent behavior. - **Five conflict types**: user vs history, global vs project, two confirmed contradicting, multi-agent disagreement, lesson vs task. Each with explicit resolution. - **Progress compression**: auto-summarize every 10 entries, keep file lean. - **User transparency**: quiet/explain/audit three modes, natural switching. - **Reflexion reframed**: part of the thinking process, not an extra API call. Zero visible latency. - **Context drift protection**: re-read profile before major decisions in long sessions. - **Team override**: project linter and team style rules always override personal genes. - **Speed mode**: `RUNTIME{speed:fast}` skips reflexion for latency-sensitive work. - **Version sync**: all manifests aligned to 2.0.0. ### v1.5 (2026-04-18) - **Add** reflexion loop for single-model code review: AI self-critiques and fixes its own output before presenting to user - **Improve** code review no longer uses a static checklist, now runs an active self-correction cycle checking against user's profile and lessons ### v1.4 (2026-04-18) - **Rebrand** from all-in-one to Imprint - **Add** Imprint design assets: banner, logo, social preview - **Add** `.cursor-plugin/` for Cursor Marketplace compatibility - **Add** `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` for self-distribution - **Submit** to Claude Code official marketplace and Cursor Marketplace ### v1.3 (2026-04-18) - **Add** plugin manifest (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`) for official marketplace - **Move** SKILL.md to `skills/imprint/SKILL.md` per plugin spec - **Update** install instructions for plugin format ### v1.2 (2026-04-18) - **Fix** enforce *one question per message* with explicit forbidden/correct examples - **Fix** platform memory cache no longer bypasses onboarding - **Improve** Rule 1 and Rule 2 promoted to top-level critical rules - **Improve** onboarding wrap-up phrasing more natural ### v1.1 (2026-04-18) - **Fix** onboarding now asks one question at a time (was dumping 4-6 at once) - **Fix** never expose internal terminology to user - **Add** activation rules with auto-trigger on session start - **Add** conflict resolution, mutation, decay, priority rules - **Add** upgraded schema with META / FACT / PROJECT / PROGRESS / RUNTIME layers ### v1.0 (2026-04-18) - Initial release --- ## Contributing Issues and PRs welcome. Keep the imprint under 500 tokens and the file human-readable, those are the two hard constraints. --- ## Links - [ilang.ai](https://ilang.ai) - [GitHub](https://github.com/ilang-ai/Imprint) - [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ILang.imprint) - [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/ILang/imprint) - [Cursor Directory](https://cursor.directory/plugins/imprint) - [skills.sh](https://skills.sh/ilang-ai/Imprint/imprint) - [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/i-Lang/Imprint) - [SKILL.md spec](https://github.com/ilang-ai/ilang-spec) --- ## License MIT License. 2026 Eastsoft Inc. / Palm Media Technology / Canada. ---
