Provides templates and lifecycle patterns for storage and documentation systems.

What it does

Storage Templates is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Provides templates and lifecycle patterns for storage and documentation systems. Use when organizing knowledge storage, config lifecycle, or naming conventions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `README.md`, `modules/lifecycle-stages.md` and `modules/storage-patterns.md`).

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

  • Organizing knowledge storage
  • Config lifecycle
  • Naming conventions

Example prompts

  • “Use the storage-templates skill to provide templates and lifecycle patterns for storage and documentation systems”
  • “/storage-templates”

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    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

Storage Templates loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Storage Templates

Overview

Generic template patterns and lifecycle management for structured content storage. Provides reusable templates, maturity progression models, and file naming conventions that work across different storage domains.

When To Use

  • Building knowledge management systems
  • Organizing documentation with maturity stages
  • Need consistent file naming patterns
  • Want template-driven content creation
  • Implementing lifecycle-based workflows

When NOT To Use

  • Simple storage without lifecycle or structure needs

Domain Applications

Add domain-specific fields to templates:

  • memory-palace: palace, district for knowledge organization
  • sanctum: scope, version for commit templates
  • spec-kit: phase, status for specifications

See modules/template-patterns.md for detailed examples.

Common Patterns

Promotion Workflow

Seedling → Growing:

  • Accessed more than once
  • Connected to other entries
  • Expanded with new insights

Growing → Evergreen:

  • Proven useful over 3+ months
  • Stable, not frequently edited
  • Well-connected in system

Evergreen → Archive:

  • Superseded by newer knowledge
  • Technology/approach deprecated
  • No longer applicable
