Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Use this skill when the task needs durable memory shared across coding-agent harnesses through the external `brain` CLI and MCP server.Key capabilities
- →Check the availability of the external `brain` CLI
- →Recall prior cross-tool decisions and observations
- →Save concise, durable observations across harnesses
- →Integrate Brain as an MCP stdio server
- →Provide installation instructions for Brain
- →Use returned notes as context for non-trivial work
How it works
This skill integrates with an external `brain` CLI and MCP server to provide durable memory shared across coding-agent harnesses. It allows recalling prior decisions and saving new observations.
Inputs & outputs
When to use brain
- →Store project preferences
- →Recall cross-tool decisions
- →Maintain shared knowledge
About this skill
Brain Integration
Use this skill when the task needs durable memory shared across coding-agent
harnesses through the external brain CLI and MCP server.
Check Availability
python3 .agent/tools/brain_bridge.py status
If Brain is missing, tell the user to install it:
brew install codejunkie99/tap/brain
Recall
Before non-trivial work that could depend on prior cross-tool decisions:
python3 .agent/tools/brain_bridge.py ask "<intent or topic>"
Use returned notes as context, but keep project-local .agent/memory/semantic
as the source for agentic-stack lessons until the user explicitly asks to
promote or migrate them.
Save
Save one concise observation when the user gives a durable preference, cross-project convention, or decision that should survive across harnesses:
python3 .agent/tools/brain_bridge.py note "<one durable observation>"
Do not save secrets, credentials, or ephemeral task details.
MCP
To wire Brain as an MCP stdio server, inspect:
python3 .agent/tools/brain_bridge.py mcp-command
The expected command is brain serve --mcp.
When not to use it
- →When Brain is not installed or available
- →When storing secrets, credentials, or ephemeral task details
- →When project-local memory is preferred over cross-tool decisions
Limitations
- →Brain is an external dependency; installation is required
- →Cannot store secrets, credentials, or ephemeral task details
- →Project-local memory (`.agent/memory/semantic`) is the default source for agentic-stack lessons
How it compares
This skill provides a persistent, shared memory mechanism across different agent harnesses, ensuring consistency in decisions and preferences, unlike ephemeral session-based memory.
