What it does
Read Working Memory is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Read your daily Working Memory briefing to understand current context. Contains active focus areas, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent knowledge changes. In Grok Build, invoke this on the first relevant turn because passive startup-hook output is not model context.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.
When your agent uses it
- Agent Workflows work in your project
Example prompts
- “/read-working-memory”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in NMEM_API_KEY
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read once at session start — in Grok Build, run this skill on the first relevant turn; don't re-read unless asked
- Reference naturally — mention relevant context when it connects to the current task
- Avoid duplicate reads — if Context Bundle was already injected and includes Working Memory, do not read Working Memory again
- Don't overwhelm — share only the parts relevant to what the user is working on
- Cross-tool continuity — insights saved in other tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Grok Build, Codex) appear here
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0567734. 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:
pippipx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and pipx, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
NMEM_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Read Working Memory loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 528 words (~1,065 tokens).
“At session start or the first relevant Grok Build turn:”
- name
- read-working-memory
