Inject Skill

Typically runs automatically via SessionStart hook.

Inject relevant prior knowledge into the current session.

How It Works

The SessionStart hook runs:

ao inject --apply-decay --format markdown --max-tokens 1000

This searches for relevant knowledge and injects it into context.

Manual Execution

Given

/inject [topic]

Step 1: Search for Relevant Knowledge

With ao CLI:

ao inject --context "<topic>" --format markdown --max-tokens 1000

Without ao CLI, search manually:

# Recent learnings
ls -lt .agents/learnings/ | head -5

# Recent patterns
ls -lt .agents/patterns/ | head -5

# Recent research
ls -lt .agents/research/ | head -5

Step 2: Read Relevant Files

Use the Read tool to load the most relevant artifacts based on topic.

Step 3: Summarize for Context

Present the injected knowledge:

• Key learnings relevant to current work
• Patterns that may apply
• Recent research on related topics

Knowledge Sources

.agents/learnings/

.agents/patterns/

.agents/research/

.agents/retros/

Decay Model

Knowledge relevance decays over time (~17%/week). More recent learnings are weighted higher.

Key Rules

• Runs automatically - usually via hook
• Context-aware - filters by current directory/topic
• Token-budgeted - respects max-tokens limit
• Recency-weighted - newer knowledge prioritized
