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.
# AI DevKit Memory CLI Use `npx ai-devkit@latest memory ...` as the durable knowledge layer. ## Workflow 1. For implementation, debugging, review, planning, or documentation tasks, search before deep work unless the task is trivial: ```bash npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<task, subsystem, error, or convention>" --limit 5 ``` For broad or risky tasks, search multiple angles: subsystem, error text, framework, command, and task intent. 2. Use results as context: - Trust repo files, tests, fresh command output, and explicit user instructions over memory. - If memory conflicts with verified evidence, use the evidence and update the stale memory. - Mention memory only when it changes the plan or avoids asking the user again. 3. Search before storing: ```bash npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<knowledge to store>" --table ``` 4. Store or update only after the quality gate passes. ## Quality Gate Before storing, all must be true: - Future sessions are likely to reuse it. - It is verified by code, docs, tests, command output, or explicit user instruction. - It is not merely a restatement of obvious nearby files unless it prevents repeated agent mistakes. - It is scope

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit --skill memory --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 codeaholicguy/ai-devkit, a repository with 1,572 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.
