What read-working-memory does

The skill reads a compact briefing of active topics, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent changes in the knowledge base. It can supply context at the start of a conversation or when resuming work. Connected tools share the same lane’s briefing.

Run nmem --json wm read to read the briefing alone. For a broader startup context, the skill also offers nmem --json context --source-app generic-agent. When a task continues a review, regression, or release, it directs the agent to search-memory after the briefing. Skip the separate read if a Context Bundle already contains Working Memory.

What it helps with

load project priorities into a new session
check what changed in the knowledge base
resume work after a break
carry context across connected tools

Example prompts for the agent

Read my Working Memory briefing before we start.
What priorities and unresolved items are in my current context?
I’m returning to this project after a break; load the latest briefing.
