At a glance

One-screen quick reference for the Origin plugin. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude.

  • The user says help
  • SKILL.md covers How to invoke, When to use and When NOT to use
  • Calls git
  • List origin commands

What it does

Help is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. One-screen quick reference for the Origin plugin. Lists the daily verbs, the daily flow, where data lives, and how to view it without a GUI. Use when the user says "help", "what can I do", "list origin commands", "how do I use origin", or invokes /help.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says help
  • List origin commands
  • How do I use origin

Example prompts

  • “what can I do”
  • “list origin commands”
  • “how do I use origin”
  • “/help”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. 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:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Help loads about 808 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 91 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~808

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.

help
description
One-screen quick reference for the Origin plugin. Lists the daily verbs, the daily flow, where data lives, and how to view it without a GUI. Use when the user says "help", "what can I do", "list origin commands", "how do I use origin", or invokes `/help`.

/help

Print the Origin plugin reference card. Read-only — never calls a tool.

How to invoke

When triggered, output the block below verbatim. No editing, no abbreviating, no embellishing. The user is asking for the menu.

Origin plugin — daily verbs

  /init         set up Origin (auto-installs daemon + local memory)
  /brief        load identity + topic context (start of session)
  /capture <x>  save one durable memory in flow
  /recall <q>   search local memory
  /distill [t]  synthesize pages from clusters (scoped to current repo)
  /read <p>     preview a distilled page inline
  /review <surface>   deep audit (surface = captures|revisions); /brief handles daily
  /forget <id>  delete a memory by ID
  /handoff      end-of-session ritual (session log + captures)
  /debrief      alias for /handoff (brief/debrief symmetry)
  /help         this card

Daily flow (~1 min overhead per session):

  1. start session  →  hook auto-checks daemon, silent if up
  2. /brief         →  ~5 s, load context
  3. work normally  →  Claude proactively /captures durable facts
  4. /recall X      →  as needed for lookups
  5. /handoff       →  ~30 s, narrative session log + captures

Where your data lives (everything under ~/.origin/):

  ~/.origin/pages/      wiki pages distilled from your memories (md)
  ~/.origin/sessions/   session logs by date (md)
  ~/.origin/sessions/_status/  current per-project goals + last-handoff
  ~/.origin/db/         memories + knowledge graph (symlink to libSQL)
  ~/.origin/bin/        installed binaries

View it without a GUI:

  open ~/.origin/                  browse in Finder
  code ~/.origin/                  open in VS Code
  git -C ~/.origin log --oneline   timeline of every memory + distill pass
  ln -s ~/.origin/pages ~/Vault/origin   # symlink into Obsidian for graph view

~/.origin/ is a git repo. Skills auto-commit per logical batch (one per
session, distill pass, or forget). Use git log / git diff / git revert
as a free audit trail. No remote — purely local history.

Three classes of artifact:
  - memories: granular, queryable, live in DB only (confirmed = stays in DB)
  - pages:    synthesized wikis, DB + ~/.origin/pages/*.md projection
  - sessions: chronological narrative, ~/.origin/sessions/*.md only

Daemon must run at 127.0.0.1:7878. Hook prints "/origin:init" if down.

Optional upgrades for richer distill cycles:
  origin model install            local Qwen, no API cost
  origin key set anthropic        Anthropic API, higher quality

When to use

  • User explicitly types /help.
  • User asks "what can I do with origin", "list origin commands", "how does this plugin work", "remind me what verbs are available".
  • First session after install — print this once on /init success too.

When NOT to use

  • Specific factual lookup → use /recall.
  • Setup troubleshooting → use /init (it diagnoses + auto-installs).

How do I install Help in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill help -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/origin/skills/help in davepoon/buildwithclaude) into .claude/skills/help in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Help in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill help -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/help, .gemini/skills/help, .github/skills/help and .opencode/skills/help in your project.

What does Help need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Help needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).

Does Help access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Help safe to install?

What licence does Help use?

Help is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Help use?

About 808 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Help?
