Craft Skills and Memories

One skill for both ends of the lifecycle of an agent's instruction sources: creating skills and memories worth keeping, and repairing them when they fail in practice.

A broken skill or a stale memory is a bug. Working around it and moving on re-breaks the next session.

Scope:

• Skills are general-purpose. Nothing in a skill should be project-specific. A fact that only holds for one project belongs in that project's own docs or memories, not in the skill.
• Memories may be project-specific or common. Create and fix a memory at the scope the agent's memory system offers (project, user, or global), matching where the fact holds.

When to Apply

Creating:

• "Save this as a memory" / "make this a skill" / "remember this"
• The decision is made to encode a lesson or workflow for future sessions (deciding the response to a correction is /never-twice's job, and its rung 3 hands off here)

Fixing:
