What it does
Brief is an agent skill from Fergana-Labs/stash. Brief the user on what they saved in a period — the thread running through it, not a list.
Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: Open-source infrastructure for agents that learn from experience. Capture production traces and turn lessons into reusable knowledge and skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Knowledge Management work in your project
Example prompts
- “/brief”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The thread — two or three sentences on what connects this period's
- What's worth your time — at most three items, each with why this
- The rest — one line each, grouped by topic, linked.
- Untouched — anything saved in the period they haven't opened since.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c5d8e04. 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
Brief loads about 524 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 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.

Briefing new saves
A period's saves are not a list to recite. The user already knows they saved things; what they don't know is what those saves add up to. Lead with the thread, not the inventory.
Get the set
Saves live in the Bookmarks table. Use query_table with a date filter
on the Saved column — dates are ISO strings, so gte compares correctly:
query_table(table_name="Bookmarks",
filters=[{"column_id": "<Saved>", "op": "gte", "value": "2026-07-20"}],
limit=100)query_table returns the column list, so read the ids off that rather than
guessing. It also returns total — if it exceeds your limit, page with
offset before writing anything. Never brief on a partial set without saying
so.
Each row carries a Summary and Topics already, written when the item was
saved. Use them. Only open the full saved copy (the Clip link) when the
summary is too thin to place the item.
Write it
- The thread — two or three sentences on what connects this period's saves. If nothing connects them, say that; a week of scattered saves is a real finding, not a failure to look hard enough.
- What's worth your time — at most three items, each with why this one and a link. Rank by what the user seems to be working on, not by what's most impressive.
- The rest — one line each, grouped by topic, linked.
- Untouched — anything saved in the period they haven't opened since. Say it plainly; don't nag.
Rules
- Every claim links to the item it came from.
- No outside knowledge. If context helps, mark it "(context, not from your saves)".
- If the period is empty, say so in one line and stop. Do not pad.
- Write it as a page in the user's stash next to the material, when you can write pages; otherwise put it in the chat.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Fergana-Labs/stash --skill brief -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/brief, .gemini/skills/brief, .github/skills/brief and .opencode/skills/brief in your project.
What does Brief need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Brief is instructions for the agent only.
Does Brief access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
