Create Environment Skill
Generate Memory Bank documentation for a project using the workflow engine. Supports three strategies: Fresh (clean generation), Resume (missing files only), Regenerate with merge (preserve local changes).
Invocation
Prerequisite: This skill requires the memento-workflow plugin. If mcp__memento-workflow__start is not available as a tool, stop and tell the user: "The memento-workflow plugin is required but not installed. Install it via Claude Code: /install-plugin memento-workflow".
Before starting the relay loop, load the relay protocol by invoking the Skill tool with skill: "memento-workflow:workflow-engine".
Then call mcp__memento-workflow__start with:
- workflow:
create-environment
- variables:
{"plugin_root": "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "plugin_version": "1.6.0"}
- cwd:
.
- workflow_dirs:
["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/create-environment"]
Follow the relay protocol to execute each returned action and call mcp__memento-workflow__submit with the result until the workflow completes.
Workflow Phases
Phase 0: Check Existing Environment
- Detect if
.memory_bank/ exists, count modified files
- If existing: prompt for strategy (Resume / Merge / Fresh)
- If new: proceed directly to Phase 1
Phase 1: Detect & Plan
- Create
.memory_bank/ directory
- Run tech stack detection →
project-analysis.json
- Build generation plan (evaluate prompt conditionals + manifest) →
generation-plan.md
- Confirm plan with user
Phase 2: Execute Strategy
Fresh (default): Copy static files, parallel-generate all prompt-based files, update plan
Resume: Load existing plan, generate only missing files in parallel
Merge: Copy statics with 3-way merge, sequential generate + merge per file, update plan
Phase 3: Finalize
- Fix broken links (
fix-broken-links skill)
- Check redundancy (
check-redundancy skill)
- Create generation commits (
analyze-local-changes commit-generation)
Required Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|
plugin_root | Absolute path to memento plugin |
plugin_version | Plugin version for commit metadata |
File Access
During generation, Claude Code requests permission to read plugin files. Pre-approve with Read(~/.claude/plugins/**) in .claude/settings.json.
