At a glance

Orient at the start of a coding session, review what recently changed in a repository, and self-audit after completing work.

  • Works in 3 steps: Orient at session start → When the task is refactoring or cleanup → Self-audit before declaring work done
  • The user wants the daily briefing (what changed in the last 24h with complexity deltas)
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick Reference, Steps and The standard a session should…, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Memtrace Daily is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Orient at the start of a coding session, review what recently changed in a repository, and self-audit after completing work. Use when the user wants the daily briefing (what changed in the last 24h with complexity deltas), hotspots (complexity × churn refactor priorities), or a session review (clean/review/risky verdicts per editing session). For catching up after time away or resuming a prior session, use memtrace-session-continuity; daily is the last-24h briefing + hotspots + self-audit. Do not reconstruct…

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 Refactoring. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Structural memory for AI coding agents. Bi-temporal graph, MCP-native, zero LLM calls. Cursor · Claude Code · Codex · DeepSeek Harness · Hermes · VS Code · Windsurf.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants the daily briefing (what changed in the last 24h with complexity deltas)
  • Hotspots (complexity × churn refactor priorities)
  • A session review (clean/review/risky verdicts per editing session)

Example prompts

  • “/memtrace-daily”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Orient at session start
  2. When the task is refactoring or cleanup
  3. Self-audit before declaring work done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a3084d. 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

Memtrace Daily loads about 803 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~803

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 324 words (~803 tokens).

“Session bookends: orient before you start, audit before you finish. All three tools read the bi-temporal version history — every save is a change event with complexity deltas, so "what happened" includes "did it make the code better or worse".”
