archive
Archive session learnings, debugging solutions, and deployment logs to .archive/yyyy-mm-dd/ as indexed markdown with searchable tags. Use when completing a significant task, resolving a tricky bug, deploying, or when the user says \"archive this\". Maintains .archive/MEMORY.md index for cross-session knowledge reuse.
npx skills add ReScienceLab/opc-skills --skill archive --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Archive Skill Capture, index, and reuse project knowledge across sessions. ## When to Archive - After completing a significant task (deploy, migration, major feature) - After resolving a tricky debugging session - When the user says "archive this" - After any multi-step process with learnings worth preserving ## When to Consult Archives - Before debugging infrastructure, deploy, or CI issues - Before repeating a process done in a past session - When encountering an error that may have been solved before **Search**: `grep -ri "keyword" .archive/` **Index**: `.archive/MEMORY.md` ## Archive Workflow 1. Read `.archive/MEMORY.md` — check for related existing archives 2. Create `.archive/YYYY-MM-DD/` directory if needed 3. Write markdown file with YAML frontmatter (see `references/TEMPLATE.md`) 4. **Update `.archive/MEMORY.md`**: add one-line entry under the right category 5. If related archives exist, add `related` field in frontmatter ## Lookup Workflow 1. Read `.archive/MEMORY.md` to find relevant entries 2. Read the specific archive file for detailed context 3. Apply learnings to current task ## Categories - **infrastructure** — AWS, ECS, IAM, networking, secrets, CloudWatch - **re

What does the archive skill do?
Archive session learnings, debugging solutions, and deployment logs to .archive/yyyy-mm-dd/ as indexed markdown with searchable tags. Use when completing a significant task, resolving a tricky bug, deploying, or when the user says \"archive this\". Maintains .archive/MEMORY.md index for cross-session knowledge reuse.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ReScienceLab/opc-skills --skill archive --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ReScienceLab/opc-skills, a repository with 1,192 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
