At a glance
Catch up on everything that changed in an indexed source-code repo since the last session, using stored session anchors and Memtrace change memory.
- Works in 5 steps: Find or bootstrap the session anchor → Call get_changes_since → Interpret the response → …
- The user asks to continue
- SKILL.md covers Overview, Steps, Output and Common mistakes
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Memtrace Session Continuity is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Catch up on everything that changed in an indexed source-code repo since the last session, using stored session anchors and Memtrace change memory. Use when the user asks to continue, catch up, resume, see what changed while away, recover prior context, or orient at session start without guessing timestamps. Do not use git log, Grep, or manual file search for catch-up; Memtrace provides session anchors and change memory.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 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. 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 asks to continue
- See what changed while away
- Recover prior context
- Orient at session start without guessing timestamps
Example prompts
- “/memtrace-session-continuity”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Find or bootstrap the session anchor
- Call get_changes_since
- Interpret the response
- Decide whether changes are relevant
- Always persist the new anchor
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 (its code samples are json).
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 Session Continuity loads about 935 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 319 words (~935 tokens).
“Session continuity for agents. Store a timestamp from your last session and call get_changes_since to see exactly what happened since then — then drill into details with get_evolution if needed.”
