At a glance

Use official hosted Memtrace documentation before guessing, web search, or stale local copies.

  • Works in 4 steps: ask_docs(question="") → If refused: true or ok: false →… → Quote the answer; link slugs as /docs/… → …
  • The user asks how Memtrace works
  • SKILL.md covers The Iron Law, Server check (once per session), The decision rule and Standard workflows, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls npx; reaches memtrace.io

What it does

Memtrace Docs is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Use official hosted Memtrace documentation before guessing, web search, or stale local copies. Trigger when the user asks how Memtrace works; how to install, configure, or deploy CLI, MCP, fleet, Cortex, or enterprise MemDB; what tools, skills, or commands exist; wants to find or locate official docs for a topic; or provides/asks to read a full docs page or slug. Routes internally across askdocs for cited natural-language answers, searchdocs for page discovery, and readdoc for complete page text. Separate from…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 MCP servers and Web search. It works with Model Context Protocol. 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 asks how Memtrace works
  • Enterprise MemDB
  • Locate official docs for a topic
  • Provides/asks to read a full docs page

Example prompts

  • “/memtrace-docs”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ask_docs(question="")
  2. If refused: true or ok: false → search_docs with shorter keywords → read_doc on best slug
  3. Quote the answer; link slugs as /docs/ when helpful
  4. If docs say "not found", say so — do not invent flags or behavior

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • memtrace.io

    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 Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 646 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 646 words (~1,606 tokens).

“Docs tools call the hosted Memtrace docs API over HTTPS. They do not read your local MemDB or your repo. Core graph tools stay offline; docs tools degrade gracefully when the network is down (ok: false + hint).”
