Archive Skill
Capture, index, and reuse project knowledge across sessions.
When to Archive
- After completing a significant task (deploy, migration, major feature)
- After resolving a tricky debugging session
- When the user says "archive this"
- After any multi-step process with learnings worth preserving
When to Consult Archives
- Before debugging infrastructure, deploy, or CI issues
- Before repeating a process done in a past session
- When encountering an error that may have been solved before
Search: grep -ri "keyword" .archive/
Index: .archive/MEMORY.md
Archive Workflow
- Read
.archive/MEMORY.md— check for related existing archives - Create
.archive/YYYY-MM-DD/directory if needed - Write markdown file with YAML frontmatter (see
references/TEMPLATE.md) - Update
.archive/MEMORY.md: add one-line entry under the right category - If related archives exist, add
relatedfield in frontmatter
Lookup Workflow
- Read
.archive/MEMORY.mdto find relevant entries - Read the specific archive file for detailed context
- Apply learnings to current task
Categories
- infrastructure — AWS, ECS, IAM, networking, secrets, CloudWatch
- release — TestFlight, versioning, Git Flow, CHANGELOG
- debugging — Bug fixes, error resolution, gotchas
- feature — Feature design, implementation notes

Rules
.archive/must be in.gitignore— local-only notes- Keep entries concise but reproducible

- Always update MEMORY.md after creating an archive
- Use descriptive filenames (e.g.,
cloudwatch-logging.mdnotsession.md) - Include YAML frontmatter with
tags,category, and optionalrelated
