Forgetful Repo Encoding
ScottRBK/forgetful
Encodes a repository into the Forgetful knowledge base as a project, entities, atomic memories and documents, so a second run updates instead of duplicating.

dossier-collectBuild a graph-structured dossier on a seed entity via parallel fan-out + recursive expansion across web, memory, knowledge-graph, codebase, ADR index, and git intel
Dossier Collect is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Build a graph-structured dossier on a seed entity via parallel fan-out + recursive expansion across web, memory, knowledge-graph, codebase, ADR index, and git intel
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 Development, covering Architecture decision records and Knowledge graphs. It works with Git and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c04654. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Dossier Collect loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

ScottRBK/forgetful
Encodes a repository into the Forgetful knowledge base as a project, entities, atomic memories and documents, so a second run updates instead of duplicating.

Build a graph-structured dossier on a seed entity via parallel fan-out + recursive expansion across web, memory, knowledge-graph, codebase, ADR index, and git intel. Dossier Collect is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo.
Dossier Collect fits situations like: tasks that involve Architecture decision records; tasks that involve Knowledge graphs.
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill dossier-collect -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ruflo-goals/skills/dossier-collect in ruvnet/ruflo) into .claude/skills/dossier-collect in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill dossier-collect -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ruflo-goals/skills/dossier-collect in ruvnet/ruflo) into .agents/skills/dossier-collect in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill dossier-collect -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dossier-collect, .gemini/skills/dossier-collect, .github/skills/dossier-collect and .opencode/skills/dossier-collect in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Dossier Collect is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search_unified, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__embeddings_search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_pattern-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_pattern-store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_trajectory-start, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_trajectory-step, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_trajectory-end, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__task_create, Bash, WebSearch, WebFetch, Read, Write, Grep, Glob.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Dossier Collect is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
