# groove-utilities-memory-install This skill creates Groove’s memory folder structure under .groove/memory/ and reports the initialized paths. Use it before tools that write project memory. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 585 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-install/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-07-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install ## What it does The skill prepares Groove’s memory layout by creating `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`, `git`, `specs`, `learned`, and `docs` under `.groove/memory/`. It then displays the paths that were initialized. Directory creation uses `mkdir -p`, so existing folders do not block the setup. The `specs` directory supports `/groove-work-spec`, while `docs` is used by `/groove-work-doc`. The skill can use `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Glob`, `Grep`, `Bash(git:*)`, and `AskUserQuestion`. The storage location is fixed at `.groove/memory/`. Any Groove component expecting another path will not read these directories. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-install -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-install -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-install -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-utilities-memory-install ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-install -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-utilities-memory-install ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/groove-utilities-memory-install/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-install -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-install/SKILL.md ## When to use it - create daily, weekly, and monthly memory folders - prepare storage for Git-related memory - set up folders for specs and reference documents - show the paths created during initialization ## Example prompts - Initialize Groove memory in the current project and show the paths you created. - Create the `.groove/memory/` structure for daily, weekly, and monthly records. - Prepare the memory, specs, and docs folders for Groove workflows. ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
