Memo Skill - Personal Memory System

Record and retrieve observations about user's work patterns, habits, and preferences.

First: Check the Clock

Before recording or recalling, run: date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z"

Time context is essential for memos - patterns are time-sensitive.

Purpose

Make Claude more personal and adapted to aviz's work style by:

• Recording patterns as they emerge
• Retrieving relevant memories when context matches
• Learning from what works and what doesn't

Data Location

data/memo.md - Single searchable file with tagged entries

Tags (for search)

Behavior Tags

• #timing - Time-related patterns (late starts, extended breaks, etc.)
• #energy - Energy levels, drops, what helps
• #habit - Recurring behaviors
• #preference - How user likes things done
• #blocker - What gets in the way
• #success - What worked well
• #pattern - General patterns

Context Tags

• @standup - Relevant during daily standup
• @planning - Relevant when planning
• @night - Night session specific
• @morning - Morning specific
• @focus - Deep work sessions
• @review - Weekly review relevant

Project Tags

• Use project names: @my-course @252events @dreemz @vocalvault @fabula etc.

When to RECORD (proactively)

Record a memo when you notice:

1. Time pattern - Break extended, session ran long/short, late start
2. Energy pattern - When energy dropped, what helped
3. Preference expressed - User states how they like something
4. Success - Something worked particularly well
5. Blocker - Something got in the way
6. Habit - Recurring behavior (positive or negative)

Entry Format

### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM #tag1 #tag2 @context
**Observation:** What happened factually
**Insight:** What this means for future interactions

When to RECALL (proactively)

Retrieve relevant memos during:

1. Standup - Search @standup #timing #habit
2. Planning - Search @planning #preference #pattern
3. Energy drop - Search #energy #blocker
4. Similar context - Search relevant @context or @project
5. Weekly review - Search #success #blocker #pattern

Usage Examples

Recording

When user extends a break:

I notice you extended the break. Let me note this pattern.
[Add entry to memo.md]

Recalling

During standup:

[Search memo.md for @standup #timing]
Based on past patterns, I see you often start later than planned...

Integration with GTD

• Use during /standup - recall timing patterns
• Use during /boost - recall energy strategies that worked
• Use during /review - surface patterns for reflection
• Use during /prioritize - recall preference patterns
