Before / After Comparison

1
Before

Before this skill, developers lacked a unified format and guidelines for writing or updating agentmemory skills, leading to inconsistent quality. Reviewers spent significant time manually checking for consistency, and new team members struggled to quickly understand and follow development standards.

After

This skill provides clear formats and rules, significantly reducing the time required for skill review and improving the quality and consistency of skill contributions. New developers can grasp standards faster, enhancing team collaboration and ensuring a healthy skill ecosystem.

SKILL.md

agentmemory skills follow one tiered format so they stay skimmable, accurate, and current. Match it exactly.

Directory layout

plugin/skills/<name>/
  SKILL.md      (required, under 100 lines)
  REFERENCE.md  (optional, dense facts; auto-generate data tables)
  EXAMPLES.md   (optional, worked transcripts)

SKILL.md rules

  • Frontmatter: name, description, optional argument-hint, and user-invocable. Set user-invocable: true only for skills the user runs as a slash command; reference and knowledge skills are false.
  • Description is two sentences and the only thing the agent sees when deciding to load the skill. Sentence one states the capability. Sentence two starts "Use when" and lists concrete triggers. Keep it distinct from sibling skills, under 1024 chars, third person.
  • Body order: Quick start (one concrete example), Why (the governing principle), Workflow (numbered steps with decision gates), Anti-patterns (a WRONG vs RIGHT callout for the top mistake), Checklist, See also (cross-link siblings), Reference or Troubleshooting pointer.
  • Stay under 100 lines. Move dense facts to REFERENCE.md and examples to EXAMPLES.md.
  • Cross-references link one level deep only. Shared recovery steps live in ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md, never inlined.

Keep it current

Facts that exist in source (tool names and parameters, REST endpoints, env vars, connect adapters, hook events) are generated, never hand-typed. Edit the source, then run npm run skills:gen. CI runs npm run skills:check and fails on drift, so generated tables cannot fall behind the code.

Style

No external or competitor product names. No emojis. No em-dashes. No filler. State the thing and stop.

Checklist

  • Description has a "Use when" sentence with real triggers.
  • SKILL.md is under 100 lines.
  • No time-sensitive claims and no duplicated troubleshooting block.
  • Concrete example present; generated facts come from the generator.
  • Cross-links resolve and go one level deep.
