| name | instinct-export |
| description | Use when the user runs /instinct-export or wants to share, back up, hand off, or publish learned instincts to another machine, harness, or teammate — 'export my instincts', 'make an instinct pack', 'build a house/team instinct library', 'send my rules to a teammate', 'move instincts to my new laptop'. Part of the Instinct Engine. NOT for reading or reviewing memories (use /patterns) and NOT for importing a pack (use /instinct-import). |

/instinct-export — portable instinct pack out
{SKILL_DIR} = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). Shared starter files live at the repo root two levels up: {SKILL_DIR}/../... If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
Turns your confidence-scored instincts into a portable, evidence-backed YAML
pack. The unit of sharing is the instinct: id / trigger / confidence / domain / source_repo plus an action and evidence body.
ECC source pattern: portable instinct format with /instinct-import.
Reimplemented clean per license-hygiene.
Run
python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/instinct.py" export \
--min-confidence 0.70 --out ~/instinct-pack.yaml
python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/instinct.py" export --all --out ~/all.yaml
Flags:
--project <id> — scope to one project id (default: the current working tree's).--min-confidence <f> — drop instincts below this effective confidence.--all — ignore project scope, export every instinct.--out <file> — write to a file (omit to print to stdout).
confidence in the pack is the EFFECTIVE value (staleness decay already
applied), so an importer inherits an honest, time-adjusted score.
Sharing note
A curated, org-specific export is a deliverable in its own right — a shared
"house instinct library" a team can install into every member's harness. Scrub
any project-private instinct before sharing a pack outside your org;
--project global keeps a pack to cross-project rules only.
