# groove-utilities-memory-graduate Promotes a stable workflow insight from .groove/memory/learned/ into AGENTS.md, so the rule applies to every future session without running prime. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 510 installs · ★ 6 - Author: andreadellacorte - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-07-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate ## What it does The skill takes an entry from `.groove/memory/learned/.md` and appends it to `AGENTS.md` as a permanent constraint. From then on every agent session sees it, not just the ones where you ran prime first. Here is the flow. Give it a topic and it reads that file; give it nothing and it lists the `*.md` files in the learned folder and asks which one to work from. It prints the contents, asks which entry to graduate, then shows the exact text headed for `AGENTS.md` and waits for yes, edit or skip. On confirmation it writes the bullet and marks the source entry with `[graduated YYYY-MM-DD]` inline — the entry stays in the file, context and all. Tools used: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, AskUserQuestion. The write goes into a `` / `` block under `## Graduated Learnings`. No block yet? It creates one. No `AGENTS.md` at all? It creates the file with just that section. The block is yours — `groove update` leaves it alone. Nothing gets written without your confirmation of the exact wording, so a half-formed note can't slip in by accident. Keep each bullet to one actionable sentence; longer text gets sent back for trimming. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-graduate -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-graduate -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-graduate -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-utilities-memory-graduate ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-graduate -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-graduate -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-memory-graduate/SKILL.md ## When to use it - pin a working lesson so it holds across every session - move a note out of a learned file without losing the original context - create the Graduated Learnings section when it does not exist yet - stamp a graduated entry with its date instead of deleting it - skip an entry that is already in the block ## Example prompts - graduate the branch naming lesson from learned into AGENTS.md - list the topics in .groove/memory/learned/ and suggest what to promote - graduated: run the test suite before every commit ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 12c87e36a8d98885 ````text --- name: groove-utilities-memory-graduate description: "Graduate a workflow insight from learned/.md into AGENTS.md as a permanent constraint. Use when a lesson is stable enough to apply to every future session." license: MIT allowed-tools: Read Write Edit Glob AskUserQuestion metadata: author: andreadellacorte --- # groove-utilities-memory-graduate Promote a stable workflow insight from `.groove/memory/learned/` into `AGENTS.md` as a permanent constraint — visible to every agent session without needing to run prime. Use $ARGUMENTS as the topic or insight text if provided. ## Outcome The lesson is appended to a `` / `` section in `AGENTS.md`, making it permanently visible to all future sessions. ## Acceptance Criteria - Insight is appended to the `## Graduated Learnings` section in `AGENTS.md` - Section is created if it does not exist - User confirms the exact text before writing - Source `learned/.md` entry is marked as graduated (not deleted) ## Steps 1. Memory path is always `.groove/memory/` 2. If $ARGUMENTS names a topic, read `.groove/memory/learned/.md` and show its entries. Otherwise, list all `*.md` files in `.groove/memory/learned/` and ask which topic to graduate from. 3. Show the file contents; ask: "Which entry should be graduated? (paste or describe it)" 4. Show the exact text that will be written to AGENTS.md; ask: "Confirm? (yes / edit / skip)" 5. If confirmed: write to AGENTS.md (see section management below) 6. Mark the entry in the learned file by appending `[graduated YYYY-MM-DD]` inline after the bullet 7. Report: "Lesson graduated to AGENTS.md → ## Graduated Learnings" ## Section management in AGENTS.md Look for a `` / `` block: - If the block exists: append the new insight as a bullet under `## Graduated Learnings` inside the block - If the block does not exist: append the following to the end of `AGENTS.md`: ``` ## Graduated Learnings Stable workflow insights promoted from `.groove/memory/learned/`. These apply to every session. - ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 12c87e36a8d98885 The third-party file has ended.
