// Curate durable knowledge from the completed Codex turn into Forgetful memory. Use when asked to save or curate memory, or when the conversation produced reusable decisions, preferences, project knowledge, or technical patterns worth preserving.
Gather implementation context before planning or coding by delegating retrieval to subagents that combine Forgetful memory, local code inspection, Context7 documentation, and web search when needed. Use when the user asks to gather context, run context_gather, prepare an implementation brief, or check prior decisions and framework guidance before making changes.
Bootstrap a repository into Forgetful by creating or updating the project, memories, entities, relationships, documents, and code artifacts. Use when the user asks to encode a repo, bootstrap a codebase into memory, port the Claude /encode-repo workflow, or prepare a project for future agent context retrieval.
Create or initialize Forgetful project records for the current repository by matching the current working directory to an existing Forgetful project, asking before creating a missing project, and maintaining generic device/location metadata. Use when the user asks to initialize, create, register, or set up Forgetful project context.
Load recent Forgetful context for an already registered project by matching the current working directory to a Forgetful project and retrieving recent project-scoped memories. Use when the user asks to load, refresh, resume, or catch up on recent Forgetful project information.
Install or verify Forgetful dependencies for Codex by interactively configuring Forgetful MCP and optional Context7 MCP. Use when the user asks to install Forgetful, set up Forgetful for Codex, or check Forgetful dependencies.

Use this skill to decide whether the completed turn contains durable knowledge that should be saved to Forgetful, then perform careful curation.
This skill is deliberately stricter than ordinary note-taking. Most turns should not create memories.
When asked to curate memory, inspect the completed turn and decide whether there is reusable knowledge. If nothing qualifies, reply exactly:
Forgetful memory curation: No durable memory to save.
Create or update memories for:
Do not save:
execute_forgetful_tool("query_memory", {
"query": "<candidate topic>",
"query_context": "Checking for existing memories before automatic curation",
"k": 5,
"include_links": true
})
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Existing memory is accurate but incomplete | update_memory |
| Existing memory is contradicted by explicit new decision | create replacement, then mark_memory_obsolete with superseded_by |
| Existing memory is related and still accurate | create memory if truly distinct, then link_memories |
| Existing memory already covers the candidate | do nothing |
| No related memory exists | create a new atomic memory |
Each saved memory must:
context.When project association is obvious from the current repository or prior memory context, use project_ids. If uncertain, omit project association rather than guessing.
Do not assume project ID 1.
If a memory is created with importance >= 7, announce:
Forgetful memory curation:
Saved to memory: "<title>"
Tags: [tags]
Related: [linked memory titles or "none"]
If existing memory was updated or obsoleted, include the memory title or ID and the action taken.
If nothing qualifies, reply exactly:
Forgetful memory curation: No durable memory to save.
