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.
Internal metacognitive skill for automatic capability and workflow discovery — combines skill routing and prompt retrievalKey capabilities
- →Automatically consult an action-keyword index
- →Discover skill capabilities based on task requests
- →Retrieve workflow prompts
- →Self-trigger when uncertain about a capability
- →Activate when about to suggest manual steps
How it works
This skill automatically consults an action-keyword index to discover relevant capabilities and workflow prompts when the agent is uncertain or about to suggest manual steps.

About this skill
Memory Activation
Meta-cognitive skill for automatic capability discovery and workflow retrieval. Self-triggers when uncertain.
Purpose
Before answering ANY task request, Alex automatically consults the action-keyword index below. This is an internal pre-processing step, not a user-triggered action.
Auto-Trigger Conditions
This skill activates automatically when Alex:
- Is about to suggest manual steps for a task
- Is uncertain whether a capability exists
- Is formulating a response that includes "you can...", "try...", "manually..."
- Encounters an action verb (convert, create, generate, build, debug, etc.)
NOT triggered by user phrases — this is internal metacognition.
Action-Keyword Index

Automatically detect and maintain memory freshness by monitoring context staleness, significant code changes, task completions, and phase transitions. Proactively suggests and executes memory sync operations with user confirmation. Use when the user says "sync memory", "update context", or when the Skill detects that context is stale (>2 hours), significant changes have occurred (new commits), tasks completed, or major milestones reached. Replaces passive "context is stale" warnings with active maintenance.
