plugin/skills/memory-recall/SKILL.md
Use this skill when starting a task to surface prior decisions, gotchas, or conventions that apply — to query `.ai-skills-memory/learnings.md` (L4 project memory) and optionally `~/.claude/ai-skills/learnings.md` (L5 user-global) by topic or keyword, returning matching excerpts with surrounding context.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Search L4 (project) and optionally L5 (user-global) for memory entries relevant to a topic. Output is plain Markdown excerpts with provenance — paste-ready for context injection into the next task.

This skill reads L4 + (opt-in) L5.development
Use this skill when running the recurring (daily) knowledge-base rescan for a repo that already has knowledge/.knowledge-sync.yml — the main-thread dispatcher that reads the config, computes the git delta since last_scanned_sha, maps changed paths to affected doc areas, early-exits cheaply when nothing changed, then fans out one Agent(content-writer) per affected area, applies the propose/direct update policy, advances the baseline only on success, and writes an L4 run log — all with the G1 untrusted-content choke-point, secret-scan, deny-list, and budget controls woven in. For first-time setup use /knowledge-sync-init.
development
Use this skill when bootstrapping scheduled knowledge-base sync for a repo that has no knowledge/.knowledge-sync.yml yet — to run one-time setup that detects the knowledge_root from CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, maps doc areas to source globs, records opt-in external sources (Linear/Notion/WebFetch, all disabled by default), captures a baseline last_scanned_sha, sets the per-area update policy, generates or seeds knowledge/CONVENTIONS.md, provisions the L4 memory dir, and offers to register the daily routine. Routes ongoing recurring sync operations to /knowledge-sync.
tools
Use this skill when bootstrapping a target repository to be ai-skills-aware — on the first run of any ai-skills workflow in a fresh repo, when adopting the ai-skills plugin in an existing repo, or after upgrading to a plugin version that adds new memory paths or templates, including when the user does not say "init" but asks to "set up" or "onboard" the repo — to detect codebase type, create CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md scaffolding, initialize the .ai-skills-memory/ directory tree from L1 templates, and configure .gitignore. Idempotent — safe to re-run. Accepts `--codebase-type <type>` and `--overwrite`. Not for re-initializing only memory — use `/memory-init` instead.
tools
Use this skill when extending, repairing, or improving plugin assets, when ingesting a `/feedback` report as a fix-cycle backlog, or when you do not remember which lower-level command is right for the job — the umbrella workflow for ai-skills plugin-asset authoring and maintenance: creating, auditing, fixing, improving, refactoring, and migrating skills, agents, rules, hooks, prompts, schemas, and rubrics inside the plugin. Auto-classifies the request, loads the right knowledge skills (`@prompt-engineering`, `@context-engineering`, `@team-protocols`), and spawns the right subagents (`prompt-engineer`, `system-architect`, `python-engineer`, `software-engineer`, `qa-engineer`, `eval-judge`) via the `Agent` tool.
