DB install-memex
Make Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Zed remember every AI conversation forever — one local SQLite corpus shared across all of them. Installs memex (local-first MCP server) in ~60 seconds via curl one-liner. Includes auto-capture daemon for Claude Code / Cowork / Cursor / Obsidian; v0.10 Telegram auto-detect (export from Desktop → memex stages it → AI proactively asks which to import, privacy-first per-chat consent); v0.8 SessionStart hook for the Brian Chesky moment ("Claude already knows what you were doing"); URL / Perplexity / AI chat share capture via memex_store_document. 18 MCP tools, no cloud, no account, verbatim storage. Use when the user says "install memex", "set up memex", "add memory to my AI", "make my agent remember across sessions", "сохрани мои чаты", or similar.

What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.
