Portable Memory Core

"Never explain yourself twice."

This skill enforces the One Brain protocol. Instead of scattering your preferences across dozens of system prompts, it centralizes them into a portable .agent/ directory that any LLM runner can hook into.

Core Directives

  1. Memory Synchronization: Upon startup, read from .agent/memory.yaml.
  2. Context Passing: Whenever the user switches contexts (e.g., from Cursor to OpenClaw), this skill ensures the new context loads the latest state from .agent/state.json.
  3. Identity Enforcement: Enforces the IDENTITY.md rules (e.g., "Caveman mode", "No em dashes", "Substack voice") universally across all generated code and text.
  4. Harness Agnostic: Works seamlessly whether the upstream harness is Claude CLI, a custom Python script, or a GUI.

Usage

When activated, you will automatically:

  • Load .agent/preferences.yaml
  • Update .agent/history.json with the current session summary.
  • Export relevant variables to the local workspace.
