What it does

User General Facts is an agent skill from memodb-io/Acontext. Capture and organize general facts about the user by topic

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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 Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills as a Memory Layer. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/user-general-facts”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 259d73b. 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

User General Facts loads about 439 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~439

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.

Capture and organize general facts about the user by topic

User General Facts

Learn and recall general facts about the user — preferences, background, goals, and other persistent information that helps personalize interactions.

File Structure

Organize facts into topic-specific files named [TOPIC].md. Create a new file when a new category of facts is discovered; update the existing file when new facts are found for that topic.

File Format: [TOPIC].md
# [Topic Name]

- [third-person fact about the user, e.g. "The user prefers TypeScript"]
- [third-person fact about the user, e.g. "The user's name is Gus"]
Example Topics
  • coding-preferences.md — preferred languages, frameworks, code style conventions
  • tech-stack.md — tools, services, and infrastructure the user works with
  • communication-style.md — how the user prefers to interact (concise vs. detailed, etc.)
  • work-context.md — role, team, projects, company details
  • goals.md — current objectives, priorities, long-term goals

Guidelines

  • One topic per file — do not mix unrelated facts in the same file
  • Use lowercase kebab-case for file names (e.g., coding-preferences.md)
  • Choose clear, broad topic names
  • Update existing facts when corrections are provided — do not keep stale information
  • Keep facts concise, objective, and actionable
  • Only record facts explicitly stated or clearly demonstrated by the user — do not speculate
  • Always use third-person pronouns when referring to the user. Write "The user prefers X" or "The user's name is Y", never "I prefer X" or "My name is Y". These files are read by agents who would mistake first-person "I" as referring to themselves.
