Inbox Memory

This skill reads and writes persistent memory and rules files for the Inbox agent. It abstracts storage so all agents use a single skill instead of calling #memory directly.

File names

• Memory: github-inbox-memory.md — session context, patterns, preferences
• Rules: github-inbox-rules.md — user's rules and preferences

Storage strategy

Two possible backends:

• #memory tool (VS Code Chat) — stores under the virtual path /memories/
• File system (~/.copilot/) — used by Copilot CLI; also usable from VS Code Chat
  • ~/.copilot/github-inbox-memory.md
  • ~/.copilot/github-inbox-rules.md

How to pick a backend (run ONCE per session, cache the choice)
