BF memory-systems-hardened
Guides implementation of agent memory systems, compares production frameworks (Mem0, Zep/Graphiti, Letta, LangMem, Cognee), and designs persistence architectures for cross-session knowledge retention. Use when the user asks to "implement agent memory", "persist state across sessions", "build knowledge graph for agents", "track entities over time", "add long-term memory", "choose a memory framework", or mentions temporal knowledge graphs, vector stores, entity memory, adaptive memory, dynamic memory or memory benchmarks (LoCoMo, LongMemEval).

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 instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
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 text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
missing-refreference to a missing file: references/implementation.md
Process rating: all ten parameters 44/100
- 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/implementation.md
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (memory-systems-hardened) differs from the folder (memory-management-hardened)
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 45 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3198 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
