How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Execution

1. Call `ijfw_memory_recall` with the current task or goal as the query. If no specific query, use the last user message or the project name.

2. Also call `ijfw_metrics` to get tier sizes and last-update timestamps.

3. Present findings grouped by tier:

WORKING MEMORY (hot -- .ijfw/memory/)
  <N> entries found
  - <key>: <one-line summary>  [<date>]
  ...

PROJECT MEMORY (project-level decisions)
  - <key>: <one-line summary>  [<date>]
  ...

NOTHING RECALLED
  Clean slate -- no relevant entries found for "<query>".
  Start a session to begin building memory.

4. After presenting, offer in one line: > `<N> things recalled. Want the full text of any entry? (name it)`

Rules

  • Never dump raw file contents. Summarize each entry to one line.
  • If memory is empty or the MCP tool is unavailable, check `.ijfw/memory/knowledge.md`

directly -- it is plain markdown.

  • Omit tiers with zero matches. Show "Clean slate" only when all tiers are empty.
  • Do not fabricate entries. If recall returns nothing, say so clearly.
