What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by mphinance/alpha-skills in skills/portable-memory-core/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.
"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
- Memory Synchronization: Upon startup, read from
.agent/memory.yaml. - 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. - Identity Enforcement: Enforces the
IDENTITY.mdrules (e.g., "Caveman mode", "No em dashes", "Substack voice") universally across all generated code and text. - 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.jsonwith the current session summary. - Export relevant variables to the local workspace.
