Observation capture and retrieval across sessions. Stores decisions, discoveries, and bugfix patterns. Searchable via tags and relevance scoring.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill persistent-memory --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.
## Storage Observations are stored in `.pilot-shell/memory/` as JSON files, one per session: ``` .pilot-shell/memory/ 2026-03-02-session-a1b2c3.json 2026-03-01-session-d4e5f6.json ``` ## Retrieval Search by: - **Tags**: Filter by tag match - **Full text**: Search observation content - **Type**: Filter by decision/discovery/bugfix - **Recency**: Prefer recent observations - **Relevance**: Score against current task description ## Auto-Triggers - `/learn` triggered at context thresholds - Session end captures final observations - Breakpoints can trigger observation capture

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 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.
