skill-curate

name: skill-curate description: Start a low-frequency review of skill evidence and canonical skill lifecycle state.

Use this skill when GUIDE.md indicates that accumulated skill evidence should be reviewed.

Boundary

This skill starts review. It should normally spawn the mnemon-skill-curator subagent or prepare the exact review request for a host-specific subagent mechanism.

It does not directly apply lifecycle changes. Approved changes are applied with skill-manage.

Procedure

Resolve runtime paths from MNEMON_SKILL_LOOP_DIR, MNEMON_SKILL_LOOP_USAGE_FILE, and MNEMON_SKILL_LOOP_PROPOSALS_DIR.
Ask the curator to review:
- GUIDE.md
- skills/active
- skills/stale
- skills/archived
- .usage.jsonl
- existing proposals
Request proposals for create, patch, consolidate, stale, archive, or restore actions only when evidence supports them. When a proposal needs concrete skill content, use skill-author to draft reviewable SKILL.md content under the proposals directory.
Keep the output proposal-first. Do not enable a new active skill in the current session unless the user explicitly approves and the host supports it.

Review Request Template

Review the Mnemon skill loop library at $MNEMON_SKILL_LOOP_DIR.
Use GUIDE.md as policy. Read usage evidence and current skills. Produce
proposal files under $MNEMON_SKILL_LOOP_PROPOSALS_DIR. Do not apply changes.
