Canonical turn protocol for agents writing to Neotoma. Bounded retrieval on the user message, store user message PART_OF conversation with REFERS_TO edges to retrieved entities, store assistant reply the same way. Use this skill in any agent loop that should persist conversation state to Neotoma.
Session-end audit. Files remaining work as task entities and lists them as bullets, verifies all data intended for Neotoma storage from this session is actually stored, and persists what's missing. Invoke at the natural close of a working session, before context is lost.
Mid-session status report. Summarizes what's been achieved so far this session and what work remains, in succinct qualitative prose and bullets with only light technical detail. Read-only — stores nothing, files nothing. Invoke any time to take stock without closing the session.
Close a Neotoma working session — store the assistant reply and a session-close summary.
Retrieve the bounded context for the current session — recent interactions and relevant entities.
Begin a Neotoma working session — open a conversation and record the opening interaction.

Meta skill that installs and configures Neotoma so other memory skills can run. Every remember-* skill references this as a prerequisite.
remember-* or store-data skill for the first time.npx neotoma status --output json
If neotoma is not found or status reports installed: false:
npm install -g neotoma
neotoma --version
Run the composite setup command to configure MCP, CLI instructions, hooks, permissions, and skills for the current harness:
neotoma setup --yes
If the user wants to target a specific harness, pass --tool:
neotoma setup --tool cursor --yes
neotoma setup --tool claude-code --yes
neotoma setup --tool codex --yes
Review the setup report. Every step should show ok: true. If any step failed, report the failure reason and suggest remediation.
Use the Neotoma MCP get_session_identity tool to confirm the MCP connection is live:
attribution.tier — software or hardware means verified attribution; unverified_client is functional but unverified.Report the result:
State that the user can now run any remember-* skill or store-data / query-memory.
npm is not found.neotoma setup which handles all harness-specific logic.
