Pre-built workflows for memory-powered tasks
What are Skills?
Skills are pre-built workflows your agent can load on demand. Each skill encodes a proven approach to a common task, combining tool calls, reasoning steps, and memory operations into a repeatable pattern.
Skills teach your agent HOW to approach tasks with memory. Instead of figuring out when to recall, what to store, and how to reason, a skill handles the workflow so your agent can focus on the task itself.
Core Skills
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
engrammic-onboarding | Session start ritual, load context |
engrammic-eag-guide | Proactive memory behavior and layer selection |
engrammic-explore-codebase | Two-phase codebase exploration with parallel agents |
engrammic-wander | Curiosity-driven exploration without agenda |
The MCP tools (remember, learn, believe, recall, trace, link, reason, reflect, hypothesize, commit) are called directly. Skills provide higher-level workflows that orchestrate these tools for specific tasks.
How to Load a Skill
Ask your agent directly by name:
Use the engrammic-debug skillOr load a skill programmatically via the patterns tool:
{
"action": "get",
"name": "debug"
}The patterns tool returns the full workflow guide for the requested skill, which the agent then follows step by step.
