SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Repositories often lack a single canonical memory file and standardized AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md wrappers, which leads to duplicated instructions, inconsistent agent behavior, and manual setup overhead for Codex and Claude Code workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical Memory Bootstrap: Creates memory/project.md as the single source of truth for agent memory.
  • Safe Migration: Detects existing CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md content and migrates non-generated content into memory/project.md to preserve prior instructions.
  • Wrapper Generation: Generates AGENTS.md from memory/project.md and creates a CLAUDE.md wrapper that references AGENTS.md, plus an optional memory/claude.md overlay and a starter README.md.
  • Integration: Delegates final initialization steps to the memory-sync module for consistent, repo-wide initialization.
  • Use Case: Quickly prepare a new or legacy repository for Codex and Claude Code agents by consolidating memory and generating host files.

Quick Start

Use the mem-init skill to initialize canonical project memory, migrate any existing AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md content, and generate AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md in the target repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about mem-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a canonical project memory file for Claude Code and Codex agents?▼

Initialize canonical project memory by creating a memory/project.md file as the single source of truth, then generating AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md wrappers to provide unified instructions for Codex and Claude Code agents.

Can I migrate existing AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md content into a unified memory file?▼

Yes, safe migration detects existing AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md content and moves non-generated instructions into memory/project.md, preserving your prior agent configurations and preventing data loss during repository initialization.

What is the best way to set up a repository for both Codex and Claude Code workflows?▼

The best way to standardize Codex and Claude Code workflows is generating a CLAUDE.md wrapper that references AGENTS.md, adding an optional memory/claude.md overlay, and writing a starter README.md for consistent agent behavior.

Does initializing project memory overwrite my existing repository files?▼

Initializing project memory performs safe migration of existing files and supports an optional force overwrite flag. By default it protects non-generated content while delegating final repo-wide initialization to a memory-sync module.

Why do I need a canonical memory file for agent workflows?▼

You need a canonical memory file to eliminate duplicated instructions and inconsistent agent behavior across Codex and Claude Code, consolidating configurations into memory/project.md to reduce manual setup overhead.
