What it does

Save Diary is an agent skill from Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore. MUST use when user says 'save diary', 'write diary', 'diary entry', 'update diary', 'document session', or when a significant session needs to be preserved as a diary entry.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `install-save-diary.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Journaling and reflection.

When your agent uses it

  • User says save diary
  • Document session
  • A significant session needs to be preserved as a diary entry

Example prompts

  • “save diary”
  • “write diary”
  • “diary entry”
  • “/save-diary”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Monthly Archive Check
  2. Find or Create Today's File
  3. Compose and Append Diary Entry
  4. Update Session Memory

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c421b55. 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 markdown).

    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

Save Diary loads about 809 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~809

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 345 words (~809 tokens).
