What it does

Topic Diary is an agent skill from Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore. MUST use when user says 'save topic', 'save to topic diary', 'remember this under', 'review topic', 'list topics', or when a generic 'save' request needs routing between session memory, daily diary, topic diary, or all targets.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `README.md`, `index-format.md` and `install-topic-diary.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Journaling and reflection.

When your agent uses it

  • User says save topic
  • Save to topic diary
  • Remember this under
  • A generic save request needs routing between session memory

Example prompts

  • “save topic”
  • “save to topic diary”
  • “remember this under”
  • “/topic-diary”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine Topic
  2. Normalize Topic Filename
  3. Create Topic File If Missing
  4. Compose Entry
  5. Append Entry
  6. Update Index
  7. Confirm

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, 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

Topic Diary loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 569 words (~1,289 tokens).

“A subject remembers what the calendar forgets.”
