What it does
Memory Palace Architect is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Designs memory palace structures with spatial layouts and domain organization. Use when creating a new palace or planning knowledge architecture by hand.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `modules/domain-analysis.md`, `modules/franklin-protocol.md` and `modules/layout-patterns.md`).
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a new palace
- Planning knowledge architecture by hand
Example prompts
- “Use the memory-palace-architect skill to design memory palace structures with spatial layouts and domain organization”
- “/memory-palace-architect”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Analyze Domain - Identify concepts, relationships, and hierarchy
- Design Layout - Choose metaphor and spatial organization
- Map Associations - Create memorable imagery and connections
- Encode Details - Add sensory attributes and ambient atmosphere
- Validate Palace - Test recall efficiency and navigation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Memory Palace Architect loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Status: unwired. As of v1.9.4, no command or agent invokes

Memory Palace Architect
Design and construct virtual memory palaces for spatial knowledge organization. This skill guides you through creating memorable spatial structures that enhance recall and organize complex information.
What It Is
A memory palace is a mnemonic technique that uses spatial visualization to organize and recall information. This skill provides a systematic approach for:
- Analyzing knowledge domains for optimal spatial mapping
- Designing architectural layouts that reflect conceptual relationships
- Creating multi-sensory associations for enhanced recall
- Building navigable structures for knowledge retrieval
Quick Start
Create a New Palace
python scripts/palace_manager.py create "My Palace" "programming" --metaphor workshopVerification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.
List Existing Palaces
python scripts/palace_manager.py listVerification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.
View Palace Status
python scripts/palace_manager.py statusVerification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.
When To Use
- Creating knowledge structures for complex topics
- Organizing large amounts of related information
- Building persistent, project-specific memory systems
- Designing learning pathways for skill acquisition
- Structuring documentation or reference material
When NOT To Use
- Quick knowledge search
- use knowledge-locator instead
- Session-specific context - use session-palace-builder
- Quick knowledge search
- use knowledge-locator instead
- Session-specific context - use session-palace-builder

Integration
Works with:
knowledge-locator- For searching across palacessession-palace-builder- For temporary session palacesdigital-garden-cultivator- For evolving knowledge bases
Expected Outputs
- Complete palace schema with spatial coordinates
- Sensory encoding profile for each location
- Navigation guide and connection map
- Recall testing results and optimization recommendations
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
If palace creation fails, check that the metaphor argument matches one of the supported templates (Fortress, Library, Workshop, Garden, Observatory). For script errors, ensure the palace_manager.py script has executable permissions and that your Python environment meets the requirements listed in pyproject.toml.
Exit Criteria
-
scripts/palace_manager.py create "<name>" "<domain>" --metaphor <template>completes without error and adds the palace to the index -
scripts/palace_manager.py listshows the newly created palace by the name supplied during creation - Created palace schema includes spatial coordinates, a sensory encoding profile, and a navigation guide
- The
metaphorargument resolves to one of the five supported templates (Fortress, Library, Workshop, Garden, Observatory); if not, error is reported with the valid list - Recall testing results or optimization recommendations are produced as part of the Expected Outputs section
