memory-first SKILL.md skillA

memory-first from yeisonrestrepo/code-conductor is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeisonrestrepo/code-conductor/memory-first@git:20261007.786da48

Pins git:20261007.786da48 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Lookup chain enforced before any file read or search: project and global memory, grep/glob, targeted read — stop at the first step that answers.

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

# Memory-First Protocol

Follow this lookup chain in strict order before reading any file, running any search, or spawning any tool. Stop at the first step that answers the question.

## Chain

### 1. Memory
Check `.claude/memory/project.md` (project) and `~/.claude/memory/personal.md` (global preferences).

Use the Grep tool on both files:

```
Grep pattern="<keyword>" path=".claude/memory/project.md"
Grep pattern="<keyword>" path="~/.claude/memory/personal.md"
```

If Grep returns matches, use that information and stop. If no matches, proceed to step 2.

### 2. Grep / Glob
For pattern searches, use the `Grep` or `Glob` tools inline. Never read a full file to find a pattern.

### 3. Targeted Read
Last resort. Only when steps 1–2 cannot answer.
- Always specify `offset` and `limit`.
- Max 150 lines per call.
- Know approximately which lines to read before calling.

The `pre-tool-use` hook blocks `Read` calls on files >150 lines with no explicit `limit`. If blocked, return to step 1.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeisonrestrepo/code-conductor/memory-first@sha256:b06751726bade93d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.786da48, 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.
