| description | Use this skill whenever the user asks about Memory Palace durable memory, recall across sessions, saving notes for later, memory deduplication, guard_action or guard_target_uri handling, search_memory, compact_context, rebuild_index, index_status, or read_memory("system://boot"). Also use it whenever the user asks about this repository's memory-palace skill itself: its first memory tool call, NOOP behavior, trigger sample path, workflow rules, or how to use it in Gemini CLI. Do not answer these requests from generic intuition; load this skill first and use its repository-local facts. |
Memory Palace
Use this skill for Memory Palace memory operations and for questions about this skill itself.
Repository-local anchors
- First memory tool call:
read_memory("system://boot")
- If
guard_action is NOOP: stop the write, inspect guard_target_uri / guard_target_id, read the suggested target, then decide whether to update or leave unchanged
- Trigger sample set path:
docs/skills/memory-palace/references/trigger-samples.md
Required workflow
- Read
docs/skills/memory-palace/references/mcp-workflow.md before choosing tools when the user is asking about workflow or tool behavior.
- If the URI is unknown, use
search_memory(..., include_session=true) before read_memory.
- Use
include_expired=true only when the user explicitly asks for historical, future-validity, or superseded memories.
- Read before every mutation:
create_memory, update_memory, delete_memory, add_alias.
- Use
index_status() before rebuild_index(wait=true) unless the user explicitly wants immediate rebuild.
- Use
compact_context(force=false) for long or noisy sessions that should be distilled.
- Treat
guard_action=IGNORE as “not worth storing”; do not force-write unless the user explicitly re-confirms.
- Do not invent provenance, temporal fields, or memory links, and do not expose raw compact-context metadata such as
session_id, source_hash, gist_method, or flushed_at.
Important boundary
- Prefer repo-visible canonical paths under
docs/skills/...
- Do not rely on hidden mirror-relative paths such as
.gemini/skills/... when answering repository-local questions
