engram-sleep SKILL.md skillA

engram-sleep from techtheist/engram is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add techtheist/engram/engram-sleep@git:20261031.f3cca94

Pins git:20261031.f3cca94 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Consolidate an Engram graph ("sleep") — settle standing conflicts, work the subjects (named piles of close notes) into one state-of note each, merge restatements, link what supersedes what, tie islands (notes nothing reaches) back in, and mark the rest reviewed. On demand only - use when the user asks to sleep, consolidate, tidy or deduplicate memory, invokes /engram-sleep, or complains about too many, duplicate or noisy memories. Not for routine capture — the engram skill covers that.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Engram sleep — consolidate after the fact

A graph that is used grows piles: the same subject restated across versions, an investigation captured as twenty findings, a decision and three paraphrases of it, a release note per version. Every pile costs twice. Search delivers several near-identical notes where one would do, and the current answer competes with its own history for the agent's attention. And nobody can review thousands of notes by hand. Sleep is the cure, applied after the fact: read one subject, write down where it stands now, keep one clear note per claim, record what replaced what, and leave the rest alone. Two smaller queues ride along: conflicts nobody settled, and islands — notes no edge and no tag reaches, which only a lucky text search ever finds.

The daemon nominates; you judge. Engram measures closeness from the stored vectors (no model call):
- The **band** is the cosine this graph calls close: its own top 1% of note pairs. It means "closer than almost everything else here", not a fixed number.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techtheist/engram/engram-sleep@sha256:1c62204f1320674e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.f3cca94, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
