Memory skill

Use when sharpening a perception or observation you ALREADY formed about conversation state, user behavior, drift, emotional shifts, or cross-turn patterns. Trigger phrases include "what did you notice about X", "the user keeps doing Y", "I sense something has changed", "is the user X-ing", "what does this pattern suggest", "what shifted across our turns", "am I missing something here", "why did the conversation move

Install Memory

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill memory

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads memory when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the memory skill”. In Codex, type $memory.

Memory Harness

When this skill triggers, you MUST observe first. Do not call the tool with an empty mind. If you have not formed an observation about conversation state, drift, or pattern, do not invoke this skill.

Once you have a raw observation, call the memory tool from the ejentum MCP server. Pass a 1-2 sentence framing in the format "I noticed [observation]. This might mean [tentative interpretation]. Sharpen: [what I need help seeing deeper into]." as the query argument.

Good query: I noticed the user changed topic three times in this turn. This might mean they are avoiding the original question. Sharpen: whether the avoidance pattern is real or my projection. Bad query: what does the user mean

The tool returns a structured scaffold containing:

  • [PERCEPTION FAILURE]: perceptual failure mode to avoid
  • [SHARPENING PROCEDURE]: observe then classify steps
  • [PERCEPTION TOPOLOGY]: DETECT-CLASSIFY flow
  • [CLEAR SIGNAL]: what a sharpened perception looks like
  • [PERCEPTION CHECK]: self-check
  • Amplify: and Suppress: signals

Absorb internally. The scaffold sharpens an existing observation; it does not generate one. Do NOT echo bracket labels.

If the API is unreachable, proceed with your current perception. The scaffold enhances; it is not a hard dependency.

Latency cost: ~1 second. Benefit: distinguishes real cross-turn signals from projection.

Tips for Memory

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
