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.

Append a one-line entry to docs/ledgers/curation-log.md whenever a brain artifact is added, modified, or removed. Use when committing changes to .github/skills, .github/instructions, .github/prompts, or .github/agents.

Key capabilities

  • Append a one-line entry to `curation-log.md`
  • Classify brain artifact changes
  • Compose log entries with specific format
  • Log changes to skills, instructions, prompts, or agents
  • Maintain an audit trail for curation decisions
  • Ensure atomic logging with artifact changes

How it works

This skill ensures that every meaningful change to a brain artifact is documented by appending a classified, one-line entry to a curation log in the same commit.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
a change to a brain artifact (skill, instruction, prompt, agent)
You get back
a new one-line entry appended to `docs/ledgers/curation-log.md`

When to use log-curation-change

  • Logging brain artifact changes
  • Maintaining audit trails
  • Documenting agent updates

About this skill

Log Curation Change (Example)

This is a worked example demonstrating a skill that passes all five gates. See ../../SKILL.md for the authoring guide.

Every brain edit produces a one-line entry in docs/ledgers/curation-log.md. The log is the audit trail for curation decisions.

When to Use

  • Adding a new skill, instruction, prompt, agent, or muscle
  • Modifying an existing one (scope change, content rewrite >20 lines)
  • Removing one (archival, sink, or full delete)

When not to use

  • Typo fixes, link repairs, formatting-only edits — too small to log.
  • Generated files (inventories, dashboards) — those have their own regen audit trail.

How to Apply

Step 1 — Classify

Pick one: [add], [modify], [archive], [delete].

Step 2 — Compose the entry

YYYY-MM-DD [classification] <artifact-path> — <one-line reason>

Step 3 — Append

Append to docs/ledgers/curation-log.md in the same commit as the artifact change.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-patternCorrection
Logging in a separate commit from the changeSame commit — atomic audit
Multi-line reasonsOne line. Full reasoning goes in the commit message.

Falsifiability — Would Revise If

  • Event-based: ≥3 brain edits land without log entries in a single quarter — the rule is decorative, not enforced. Switch to a pre-commit hook.
  • Date-based: 2026-08-26 — re-evaluate whether a script (scripts/append-curation-log.cjs) should automate this.

Related

When not to use it

  • When making typo fixes, link repairs, or formatting-only edits
  • When modifying generated files (inventories, dashboards)
  • When the change is too small to log

Limitations

  • The log entry must be a one-line reason
  • The log entry must be in the same commit as the artifact change
  • The skill applies to changes in .github/skills, .github/instructions, .github/prompts, or .github/agents

How it compares

This skill enforces a specific, atomic logging discipline for brain artifact changes, creating a formal audit trail that differs from informal change tracking.
