Copy-paste skills for coding agents to drive ta on behalf of the user.
cp -r docs/skills/ta-search ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r docs/skills/ta-associative-recall ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r docs/skills/ta-deep-research ~/.claude/skills/Restart your Claude Code session (or re-run skill discovery). When the user's message matches a skill's description trigger, the agent loads the skill and follows its instructions.
Each SKILL.md is plain markdown with YAML frontmatter. Adapt to your agent's skill-loading convention:
- Frontmatter
name— the skill identifier. - Frontmatter
description— the trigger prompt (when to activate). - Body — the agent's instructions.
The only Claude-specific element in the skill bodies is AskUserQuestion (used by ta-associative-recall and ta-deep-research for interactive pivot/narrow steps). Each skill notes a plain-text fallback.
| Skill | Triggers on | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
ta-search |
Literal lookups. "Find my note about X." | Single query, read YAML, call show if needed. |
ta-associative-recall |
Fuzzy/vibe queries. "That idea I had about..." | Fan out 5–8 literal probes, aggregate, rank, offer pivots. |
ta-deep-research |
Topic exploration. "Trace X through my notes." | Graph crawl + selective read + iterative extraction + synthesis. |
Users need ta on PATH and an archive configured via --archive, TA_DIR, or ~/.config/ta/config.yaml. See the main project README.
