DefenseAgent

Use when memories reveal a recurring pattern, repeated user feedback, or a frequently needed procedure that would benefit from being a reusable skill. Trigger phrases include "this keeps coming up", "we always do X", "save this approach", "make this a skill". Validates the pattern, drafts a skill candidate, then hands off to skill-creator.

Use when the user asks to reflect, summarise lessons, consolidate memory, recap a session, or take stock after a long working stretch. Pulls recent records via memory_recall, groups them into the four auto-memory categories (user, feedback, project, reference), and asks the user which insights to retain. Does not bypass or reconfigure the existing Reflector.

Use when the user asks to create a new skill, save a workflow as a skill, distil a procedure into a reusable skill, or extract a recurring pattern into one. Walks through brainstorming the trigger, drafting the description, scaffolding files, and validating. Defaults to the project skill directory; pass scope=user for cross-project skills.

Use when starting any conversation or task with DefenseAgent. Establishes how to discover and invoke skills before responding, lists the bundled methodology skills (skill-creator, writing-skills, reflect-and-distill, promote-memory-to-skill), and documents the tool-call shape — each skill is a tool whose name equals the skill name; calling that tool with no arguments returns the skill's instructions.

Use when creating or refining a DefenseAgent skill, before drafting frontmatter or scaffolding files. Defines the frontmatter rules (especially description tuning so skills trigger correctly), file structure conventions, single-responsibility and YAGNI rules. Referenced by skill-creator step 1.
