agent-shared-memory — Claude Code skill: redirect setup and role
A transition redirect skill for setups where prompts or workflow plans still reference the older agent-shared-memory name.
npx skills add WenyuChiou/agent-collab-skills --skill agent-shared-memory -a claude-codeWhat agent-shared-memory does
Starting with release 0.6.0, coordination memory lives inside the Durable decisions section of agent-context-budget. This standalone entry persists only as a temporary redirect stub to keep legacy prompts working until version 0.7.0 completely drops it.
The core interaction model stays strict: agent memory outputs remain proposals until a person manually approves them. Applying an approved change simply appends a new event entry, keeping historical records intact.
All schema details, approval mechanics, and the read/propose/decide/apply flows now reside in coord_memory_schema.md. Installing this stub is unnecessary once your repository adopts the newer migration paths directly.
What it helps with
- route deprecated prompt instructions to agent-context-budget
- preserve workflow execution for older plans prior to release 0.7.0
- enforce manual human sign-off on memory proposal changes
- maintain an append-only audit trail without modifying earlier events
Example prompts for the agent
- Migrate tasks referencing agent-shared-memory to agent-context-budget
- Draft a coordination memory proposal using the rules from agent-shared-memory
- Verify that agent memory writes follow the append-only schema in coord_memory_schema.md

Source text
SKILL.md · MIT
--- name: agent-shared-memory description: Use when a plan, prompt, or doc still names agent-shared-memory. Since 0.6.0 proposal-only coordination memory is the Durable decisions section of agent-context-budget; this redirect stub is removed in 0.7.0. --- # agent-shared-memory (redirect) Merged into [agent-context-budget](../agent-context-budget/SKILL.md) in 0.6.0. Use its "Durable decisions" section. The event and proposal schema, approval binding, and read/propose/decide/apply modes moved to [coord_memory_schema.md](../agent-context-budget/references/coord_memory_schema.md). The contract is unchanged: memory output is a proposal, only an explicit human approval lets it apply, and applying appends a new event that never edits an existing one. This stub is removed in 0.7.0. See [migration 0.6](../../docs/migration-0.6.md).
