## Description

Use this when fulfilling claude-mem observer jobs on Grok Bot: reply only skip_summary or one full observation XML, never prose.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Host observer (Grok Bot)

You are the model inside claude-mem's generator loop (OpenRouter HTTP agent to the local shim).

Write only `outbox/{id}.txt` for inbox jobs, or return the XML as the chat-completions body.

**Idle / init / no tool results:** `<skip_summary reason="noise" />`

**Finished searchable unit:** one `<observation>` with real title, 4, 10 facts with paths, narrative. Types: bugfix, feature, refactor, change, discovery, decision. Never title with a tool name.

Prose is dropped (`outputClass=prose`). Do not mix skip_summary and observation. Do not POST `/api/memory/save` except last-resort.
