What it does
Archival Integrity is an agent skill from bradygaster/squad. Preserve content when moving entries between tracked Squad state files
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Squad: AI agent teams for any project. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/archival-integrity”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve a destination that is already tracked before writing. If the requested destination is
- Append first, re-read the destination, and prove every moved heading is present.
- Compare entry counts before and after the append. Trim only when the count increased by exactly
- Report measured removed from source / added to destination counts. Do not use byte deltas as

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71818eb. 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.
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
Archival Integrity loads about 735 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 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.

Context
Use this skill for decision archival, history summarization, or any operation that moves entries between repository state files. A move has two halves: append to the destination, then trim the source. Treat it as data loss prevention, not text cleanup.
Scope
- Activate when moving entries between tracked Squad state files such as decision logs, histories, or inbox merges.
- Allowed targets: tracked repository state files and their designated tracked archives.
- Exclusions: untracked destinations, byte-delta-only validation, and trimming source content before the destination is verified.
- This procedure is scoped to the local state backend unless the active backend exposes governed append, read-back, and trim operations. Runtime-owned orphan or two-layer state is not a valid archival destination; use the backend's state operation instead of editing a checkout copy.
Patterns
- Resolve a destination that is already tracked before writing. If the requested destination is untracked, redirect to a tracked archive or stop.
- Append first, re-read the destination, and prove every moved heading is present.
- Compare entry counts before and after the append. Trim only when the count increased by exactly the selected number of entries.
- Report measured
removed from source / added to destinationcounts. Do not use byte deltas as an integrity signal. - When inserting an inbox body beneath a
###entry, demote its shallowest heading to####while preserving relative levels and fenced-code content. - Prefer
archiveEntries(),prepareInboxBodyForMerge(), andformatArchivalReport()frompackages/squad-sdk/src/state/io/archival.tsover hand-rolled archival logic.

Stop conditions
- Stop if the destination is not already tracked.
- Stop if the appended headings cannot be re-read from the destination.
- Stop if the entry-count increase does not exactly match the selected move set.
- Stop if the active backend is non-local and does not provide governed archival operations.
- Stop if state appears orphaned, split across runtime and checkout layers, or owned by another process without an explicit handoff.
Examples
The archival tests in test/state/archival.test.ts cover append failures, swallowed writes,
untracked destinations, CRLF inputs, count verification, and fence-aware heading demotion.
Anti-Patterns
- Creating a timestamped archive under a git-excluded directory and assuming it will persist
- Deleting source content before the destination has been verified
- Reporting “no archival required” without measuring eligible entries
- Treating a matching file-size delta as proof that the content survived
