Update memory bank after task completion. Detects scope automatically and updates files in priority order. Can be auto-invoked when task completion is detected in conversation.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Add a COMB memory bank to an existing (brownfield) project by analyzing current codebase, dependencies, and architecture. Use when the project already has code but no memory bank.
Initialize a COMB memory bank for a new (greenfield) project. Creates the directory structure, core files, and INDEX.md from templates. For existing projects, use /adopt-memory-bank instead.

Update the memory bank to reflect: $ARGUMENTS
This skill should be invoked automatically when any of these signals are detected:
Determine the update scope based on what changed:
| Scope | When | Files to Update |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal | Single task completed | sprint-tracker + active-context |
| Standard | Feature implemented | + progress |
| Full | Sprint completed / major milestone | + archive + arch/tech files |
| Architecture | Architecture decision made | + arch/patterns-overview + arch/decisions-summary |
| Tech Stack | New dependency or technology added | + relevant tech/*.md |
Priority 1 โ core/sprint-tracker.md
Priority 2 โ core/active-context.md
Priority 3 โ core/progress.md (standard/full scope only)
Priority 4 โ tech/*.md (if tech stack changed)
Priority 5 โ arch/*.md (if architecture changed)
Priority 6 โ Archive (full scope / sprint boundary only)
Update the dynamic section of project-rules.md (below === DYNAMIC CONTENT ===):
Memory Bank Updated
Scope: [minimal/standard/full/architecture/tech-stack]
Trigger: [task description]
Updated:
- core/sprint-tracker.md โ [what changed]
- core/active-context.md โ [what changed]
- [other files if applicable]
Next steps:
- [what's next based on active-context]
After updating, check file sizes against limits:
| File | Max Lines | Action if Exceeded |
|---|---|---|
| active-context.md | 200 | Archive to progress-archive.md |
| sprint-tracker.md | 600 | Archive sprint section to progress-archive.md |
| progress.md | 600 | Archive to progress-archive.md |
| tech/*.md | 600 | Split into sub-domain files |
| arch/patterns-overview.md | 350 | Move details to patterns-detailed.md |
