Always-active cross-session working memory. Auto-activates every conversation to offer resuming or starting a session. Also triggers on "start a session", "resume", "park this", "save this", "wrapping up", or multi-session/multi-repo work. Routes work to the correct Obsidian vault, groups sessions under a parent Project (epic), and distills durable insights up into the Project note and MOCs at stopping points.

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.

# session — cross-session working memory

The hot layer above the durable Obsidian vaults. Sessions are per-thread
worklogs that survive `/clear`. The conversation is disposable; the session
file is the state. Pairs with `vaultmem` (search/registry/router),
`vault-recall` (finding what's already written), and `vault-capture` (durable
capture).

The vault layout, frontmatter fields, status vocabulary, and glyph convention
this skill writes are the normative contract in `SCHEMA.md` (run `vaultmem
vaults` for the live registry). The templates below are the operational shapes;
`SCHEMA.md` is the reference when they disagree.

## Always-on activation

The `SessionStart` hook prints a picker line (`vaultmem sessions`) ending
in an AGENT DIRECTIVE — the trailing prompt that tells the agent what to do
with the picker. Its wording is configurable (the registry's `directive_file`);
the default asks the agent to route session handling through this skill. That
directive is binding: invoke this skill FIRST, every

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jayantak/vaultmem/session@sha256:2a266ae2d8dbf499

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.76f9246, 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.
