turn-memory-pre-flight

Authoritative protocol for verifying the correct placement and impact of new agentic memory substrate additions. Triggers: Use before inserting or mutating turn-loaded/skill-loaded memory substrate (`AGENTS.md`, `AGENTS_ATLAS.md`, `.agents/skills/**`, `.codex/CODEX.md`, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.agents/ANTIGRAVITY_RULES.md`) to prevent future-session bias.

Quality

Content

80%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The body is admirably concise and uses clean progressive disclosure to a single real reference file, but it offloads all workflow sequencing and validation to that reference without surfacing even a minimal checkpoint inline for a destructive operation.

Suggestions

Surface a minimal inline checkpoint before delegation, e.g. 'After reading, classify the rule via the decision tree and run the mechanical pre-flight commands before any mutation.'

State the validation/feedback loop inline (e.g. 'halt and tag [hypothesis — needs V-B-A] if load-effect cannot be verified') so the body alone communicates the safety gate.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The three-line body is extremely lean, assumes Claude's competence, and contains no over-explanation; every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides one concrete, executable instruction ('Use `view_file` to read `references/turn-memory-pre-flight-workflow.md`') with a specific command and path, but the actual workflow steps live entirely in the referenced file rather than the body.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The skill governs a destructive operation (mutating future-session memory substrate) yet the body contains no validation checkpoints or sequenced steps itself — those are delegated to the reference, so the destructive-operation cap of 3 applies.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview with a well-signaled, one-level-deep reference ('MANDATORY ACTION: ... read references/...') pointing to a real file, with easy navigation and no nested references.

Description

80%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The description is strong overall, clearly specifying what the skill does and when to use it with concrete trigger guidance and a well-defined niche. Its main weakness is trigger-term quality, which leans on technical jargon and file paths rather than natural user phrasing.

Suggestions

Add a couple of natural-language trigger phrases a user might actually say (e.g., 'when adding a rule that affects future agent sessions') alongside the technical file list.

Expand the action list beyond 'verifying placement and impact' to name the concrete verification actions performed (e.g., 'classifies, validates, and routes memory substrate additions').

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain ('memory substrate placement') and concrete actions ('verifying the correct placement and impact', 'inserting or mutating') with enumerated target files, though not a fully comprehensive action list.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' ('verifying the correct placement and impact of new agentic memory substrate additions') and 'when' ('Use before inserting or mutating turn-loaded/skill-loaded memory substrate') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The explicit 'Triggers: Use before...' clause is strong, but the keywords are mostly technical jargon (substrate file paths) rather than natural phrases a user would spontaneously say, with some synonyms missing.

3 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (memory substrate placement verification) with distinct, enumerated file triggers and minimal overlap risk with unrelated skills.
