What it does

Remnic Entities is an agent skill from joshuaswarren/remnic. Browse entities in the Remnic knowledge graph and surface their facts and relationships. Trigger phrases include "tell me about the entity", "look up", "what do we know about".

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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, covering Knowledge graphs. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source memory and context for user-aware agents: scoped memory, provenance, retrieval quality, correction, boundaries, evals, and MCP/HTTP access. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include tell me about the entity
  • What do we know about

Example prompts

  • “tell me about the entity”
  • “look up”
  • “what do we know about”
  • “/remnic-entities”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): remnic_entity_get

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Extract the entity name from the user's message. Preserve original capitalization unless ambiguous.
  2. Call remnic_entity_get with that name.
  3. If the entity is found, present its facts and relationships in a short structured view (facts, relations, last updated).
  4. If the entity is missing, say so and offer to create one via remnic-remember with the user's permission.
  5. When multiple candidates match, list them briefly and ask which the user meant.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 002ea68. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • remnic_entity_get

    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

Remnic Entities loads about 612 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~612

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.

When to use

Use when the user names a specific project, person, service, or concept and asks what is known about it. Entities are the graph-shaped view of memory — structured facts and relationships rather than free text.

Triggers:

  • "Tell me about the entity …"
  • "Look up …"
  • "What do we know about project/service/tool X?"
  • Any reference to a named thing that could have linked facts.

Inputs

  • name (required) — canonical entity name, ideally as the user wrote it.
  • Optional: entity type hint (project, person, service, tool).

Procedure

  1. Extract the entity name from the user's message. Preserve original capitalization unless ambiguous.
  2. Call remnic_entity_get with that name.
  3. If the entity is found, present its facts and relationships in a short structured view (facts, relations, last updated).
  4. If the entity is missing, say so and offer to create one via remnic-remember with the user's permission.
  5. When multiple candidates match, list them briefly and ask which the user meant.

Efficiency plan

  • Do not call remnic_entity_get speculatively for every proper noun — only when the user asked or the task depends on it.
  • Cache the entity payload within the current turn; do not re-fetch for the same name.
  • Pair with remnic-recall when unstructured context would round out the entity view.

Pitfalls and fixes

  • Pitfall: Guessing entity names. Fix: Use the user's wording; disambiguate rather than inventing.
  • Pitfall: Dumping the full entity payload. Fix: Summarize into a compact facts/relations/last-updated block.
  • Pitfall: Treating a missing entity as a bug. Fix: Missing just means the graph has not captured it yet — offer to create it.

Verification checklist

  • remnic_entity_get was called with a user-supplied or user-confirmed name.
  • Output shows facts, relationships, and timestamps in a compact view.
  • Missing entities are acknowledged plainly with an offer to create.
  • Legacy engram_entity_get alias was not preferred over remnic_entity_get.

Tool names: canonical name is remnic_entity_get. The legacy engram_entity_get alias remains accepted during v1.x.
