ob1-local-http

Capture and search thoughts against a self-hosted Open Brain over plain HTTPS, with no MCP transport involved. Use this skill in environments where Claude Code's MCP feature is disabled or the network blocks remote MCP endpoints, but the brain stack from the companion `local-brain-no-mcp` recipe is reachable on the local network. Triggers: prompts like "remember this", "save that for later", "what did I note about X", "search my brain for Y", "what thoughts touched on Z", or any explicit request to record or recall personal memory.

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body with executable curl recipes, explicit validation, and a thorough error-recovery map. Its only gap is progressive disclosure: it is a single inline file with no bundle references, which is defensible for a self-contained curl skill but does not exercise cross-file structuring.

Suggestions

If failure-mode remediation grows, extract the HTTP-code-to-fix table into references/FAILURE-MODES.md and link to it from the body, demonstrating one-level-deep progressive disclosure.

Consider moving the parameter-tuning guidance (match_threshold/match_count ranges) into a short references/SEARCH-TUNING.md so the main Process section stays a lean overview.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient throughout: direct curl snippets, a compact Failure Modes table, and operational Notes -- with no padding explaining what curl/HTTP/embeddings/JWT are (the one 'it's a long-lived JWT' aside is a security reminder, not a tutorial). Not score 2 because it never explains concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready curl commands for capture, search, and browse with real headers, endpoints, and JSON bodies, plus concrete parameter guidance ('Lower it to 0.5-0.65', 'Cap match_count at 100'). Not score 2 because the examples are complete and runnable, not pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequenced sub-procedures (Capture / Search / Browse) with an explicit env-var validation checkpoint ('If either is missing, stop and tell the user. Do not guess values') and a robust Failure Modes section mapping HTTP codes to remediation -- a feedback loop for error recovery. Not score 2 because validation and recovery checkpoints are explicit; the operations are also non-destructive (de-dupe on capture), so the destructive-cap does not apply.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single-file skill with clear section headers, but at ~113 lines (above the simple-skill <50-line threshold) it keeps everything inline with no one-level-deep references to drill into. Not score 3 because progressive disclosure across files is not demonstrated (no bundle files exist and the only reference is to an external companion recipe); not score 1 because the sectioning itself provides clear in-file navigation rather than a monolithic wall.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that pairs concrete capture/search actions with an explicit use-environment clause and a rich set of natural trigger phrases. It is clearly distinguishable from generic memory skills via the no-MCP, LAN-resident framing.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions -- 'Capture and search thoughts', 'record or recall personal memory' -- rather than vague language. It is not score 2 (which expects only a domain and some actions) because it lists distinct capture and recall operations; it is not below 3 because nothing is abstract.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Capture and search thoughts against a self-hosted Open Brain over plain HTTPS, with no MCP transport involved') and when ('Use this skill in environments where Claude Code's MCP feature is disabled... Triggers: prompts like...'). The explicit 'Use this skill in environments...' plus 'Triggers:' clause clears the completeness-2 cap; not below 3 since neither what nor when is missing or implied.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasings users would actually say: 'remember this', 'save that for later', 'what did I note about X', 'search my brain for Y', 'what thoughts touched on Z'. Good coverage across capture and recall variants, matching the anchor's 'natural terms users would say'; not score 2 because it spans many common variations rather than a few.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (no-MCP environments, LAN-resident Open Brain, companion local-brain-no-mcp recipe) with triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Not score 2 because the 'no MCP transport' / 'MCP disabled' framing carves out a distinct slot rather than overlapping generic memory skills.
