memory-direct-task-start - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: memory-direct-task-start version: 0.9.4 description: Record a task memory before starting direct no-plan implementation work when the user asks to implement, fix, change, add, update, release, install, or otherwise mutate the repository without first approving a plan

Memory Direct Task Start Skill

Use this skill when:

the user gives an actionable implementation instruction
there is no approved checklist plan for the work
repository files, packaging, release metadata, services, or local install state may change

Do not use this skill for:

pure questions or explanations
planning-only turns
work already covered by memory-plan-execution
trivial read-only checks

Script

Before any implementation work or file edits, record the task start:

go run ./.agents/skills/memory-layer/scripts/main.go start-task-execution \
  --project <project-slug> \
  --title "<short task title>" \
  --prompt "<original user request>"

Workflow

Run the script before mutating files or services.
Use the original user request as --prompt; do not summarize away the ask.
Keep --title short and action-oriented.
If the helper fails, stop and surface the failure before implementation.
After the work is complete, use memory-remember to record the implementation outcome.

Runtime Requirement

This focused skill uses the shared Go helper under .agents/skills/memory-layer/scripts/. go must be available on PATH for these helper commands to run.
