ai-memory routing install

Use this skill when the user wants ai-memory's agent-facing routing instructions or managed Agent Skills installed, refreshed, repaired, or removed.

• memory_install_self_routing returns the canonical markered instruction block, marker strings, filename hints, notes, and managed skill payloads for agents that cannot let the MCP server write the host filesystem directly. Pass compact: true when managed Agent Skills are installed or when refreshing a file that already uses the compact snippet.

Managed instruction marker

The always-loaded instruction block is owned by ai-memory only between these markers.

• Start marker: <!-- ai-memory:start -->
• End marker: <!-- ai-memory:end -->

Refresh must replace the first complete marker-bounded block whose start and end delimiters appear alone on their own lines, preserving unrelated content before and after it. Ignore inline mentions of marker strings inside prose or code; they are not delimiters. If no complete line-delimited block exists, append the canonical block with one blank line of separation. Never edit unrelated instructions while refreshing ai-memory routing.

Managed skill marker

Every ai-memory-managed SKILL.md file contains this ownership marker.

<!-- ai-memory-managed: routing-skill -->

Installers and uninstallers should overwrite or remove same-name skill files only when that marker is present, unless the user supplied an explicit force option. If a same-name skill lacks the marker, skip it with an actionable message so user-authored skills are preserved.
