Skill instructions
Inbox Memory This skill reads and writes persistent memory and rules files for the Inbox agent. It abstracts storage so all agents use a single skill instead of calling memory directly. File names - Memory: github-inbox-memory.md — session context, patterns, preferences - Rules: github-inbox-rules.md — user's rules and preferences Storage strategy Two possible backends: - memory tool (VS Code Chat) — stores under the virtual path /memories/ - File system (~/.copilot/) — used by Copilot CLI; also usable from VS Code Chat - ~/.copilot/github-inbox-memory.md - ~/.copilot/github-inbox-rules.md How to pick a backend (run ONCE per session, cache the choice) 1. Detect availability of memory: try { "command": "view", "path": "/memories/github-inbox-memory.md" }. If the tool itself errors as unavailable, memory is NOT available. 2. Check for existing CLI memory: see if ~/.copilot/github-inbox-memory.md or ~/.copilot/github-inbox-rules.md exist and are non-empty (use ls -la ~/.copilot/ or view).
