| description | Auto-triggered skill that reminds agents of the recall-before-grep doctrine. When an agent is about to search the codebase for answers, this skill reminds them to check legion memory first. Use this when the agent is researching a problem, looking for patterns, or trying to understand why something was built a certain way.

Legion Memory: Recall Before Grep
Before searching the codebase, check legion memory. Code tells you WHAT exists. Legion tells you WHY it exists, WHAT went wrong last time, and WHAT the person who solved it wished they had known.
Order of Operations
legion recall --repo <current-repo> --context "<your problem>" -- search your own memorylegion consult --context "<your problem>" -- search ALL agents if recall did not help- THEN grep, glob, read the codebase
When You Find Useful Reflections
Boost them: legion boost --id <reflection-id>
This makes them surface higher for the next agent. Every boost improves the system.
When You Learn Something New
Reflect it: legion reflect --repo <current-repo> --text "<what you learned>"
Capture the WHY, not the WHAT. The code already shows what you did. The reflection should capture:
- Why you chose this approach over alternatives
- What you tried that did not work
- What surprised you
- What the next agent should know
Cross-Agent Knowledge
Use legion consult when you hit something outside your domain. Another agent may have already solved it. The knowledge is indexed and ranked -- useful reflections rise, stale ones fade.
Bullpen Awareness
Check the team board periodically: legion bullpen --repo <current-repo>
Respond to signals directed at you. Post findings that the team needs to see.
