Memory Documentary Skill

Generate comprehensive documentary-style reports from your memory systems with full evidence chains.

Quick Start

/memory-documentary [topic]

Example topics:

"recurring frustrations"
"coding patterns not codified"
"evolution of thinking on testing"
"decisions I second-guessed"
"what I complain about most"

Triggers

Use this skill when:

Search my memories for patterns about...
What does my history say about...
Generate a documentary on my [topic]
Cross-reference all systems for...
Evidence-based analysis of my [topic]

When to Use

Use this skill when:

You need cross-system evidence for a pattern or recurring theme
Investigating historical decisions and their evolution over time
Building a cited, verifiable narrative from memory data

Use memory skill instead when:

You need a simple search for a known fact or pattern
The query targets a single memory tier, not cross-system synthesis

Quick Reference

Phase	Action	Output
1	Topic Comprehension	Search variants, scope boundaries
2	Investigation Planning	Explicit queries per system
3	Data Collection	Evidence with IDs, timestamps
4	Report Generation	Documentary with citations
5	Memory Updates	Store meta-pattern discovered

Process

The skill searches ALL available data sources systematically:

Memory Systems (4 MCP servers):

Claude-Mem: Timeline observations via 3-layer workflow
Forgetful: Semantic memory with linked entities
Serena: Project-specific lexical memory
DeepWiki: Documentation resources

Project Artifacts:

.agents/retrospective/ - Learning extractions
.agents/sessions/ - Session logs
.agents/analysis/ - Research reports
.agents/architecture/ - ADRs
.agents/planning/ - Plans and PRDs

GitHub Issues:

Open and closed issues

Commands

# Standard invocation
/memory-documentary "recurring frustrations"

# With explicit time range
/memory-documentary "testing patterns" --since 2025-12-01

Report Structure

Executive Summary

Key finding in one sentence
Timeline span (earliest to most recent)
Evidence count (memories + observations + issues + files)
Major pattern categories

Evidence Trail

Full citation for each finding:

Memory ID/Observation ID with retrieval command
Source system (Forgetful/Claude-Mem/Serena)
Timestamp/Creation date
Direct quote from source
Links to related evidence

Pattern Evolution

Timeline showing how thinking changed:

YYYY-MM-DD: [Observation #ID] - Initial state
YYYY-MM-DD: [Memory #ID] - First iteration
YYYY-MM-DD: [Issue #NNN] - Technical response

Unexpected Patterns

Cross-system synthesis revealing:

Frequency patterns (time clustering)
Correlation patterns (X happens before Y)
Avoidance patterns (conspicuous absence)
Contradiction patterns (saying vs doing)
Evolution patterns (recursive loops)
Emotional patterns (frustration markers)

Synthesis

What all systems agree on
What's recent (Claude-Mem) vs crystallized (Forgetful)
Actionable recommendations

Evidence Standards

Standard	Requirement
Citation	Every claim has ID, timestamp, quote
Quotes	Direct quotes, not paraphrases
Verification	Retrieval commands for all evidence
Cross-links	Related evidence connected

Anti-Patterns

Avoid	Why	Instead
Partial searches	Miss critical evidence	Search ALL systems
Paraphrasing	Loses verifiability	Direct quotes only
Single query	Miss variations	3+ query variants per system
Skipping systems	Incomplete picture	Check all 4 MCP servers

Verification

After execution:

Report saved to .agents/analysis/[topic]-documentary-[date].md
Every claim has a citation with source system, ID, and direct quote
All 4 MCP servers were queried (or documented as unavailable)
Meta-pattern stored in memory (Phase 5)

Output Location

Reports saved to: .agents/analysis/[topic]-documentary-[date].md
