Transfers insights from agent reflections and critique sessions into CLAUDE.md. Keeps your context file sharp by structuring lessons instead of bloating it with raw logs.

## What it does

The skill covers the curation step within the Agentic Context Engineering workflow. When conversations or reflection tools like `/reflexion:critique` uncover a pattern, memorize turns that finding into a concise rule. If the target scope is ambiguous, the agent asks whether to harvest the last response, a text selection, or an issue report.

Processing runs through structured stages. It gathers reusable patterns and domain constraints, categorizing each item by impact. Before modifying `CLAUDE.md`, the skill checks existing entries to avoid duplicates. Unsubstantiated claims without code evidence or documentation must stay out of the context file, otherwise the project manual degrades quickly.

If a fresh finding clashes with existing guidance, the skill favors the more specific, evidence-backed rule. The older entry is flagged for consolidation rather than deleted automatically. It organizes outputs under dedicated sections like architecture decisions and verification rules.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill memorize -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/memorize/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/memorize/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill memorize -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/memorize/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill memorize -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/memorize/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit memorize
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/memorize/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill memorize -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --path skills/memorize
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/memorize/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill memorize -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/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit/tree/HEAD/skills/memorize/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn review findings into actionable guidelines in `CLAUDE.md`
- prevent context file bloating with duplicate instructions
- document codebase anti-patterns discovered during debugging
- maintain clear verification rules for recurring tasks

## Example prompts
- Use memorize to save the lessons from our latest refactoring debate into `CLAUDE.md`
- Run memorize on the critique output and update our testing rules
- Record this performance anti-pattern in `CLAUDE.md` using memorize
