What Preserve does
/preserve — Update Permanent Memory in Vault
Some learnings are permanent — not session-specific but things Claude should ALWAYS know. This skill updates the vault's permanent memory file.
What To Do
Step 1: Identify What to Preserve
Ask the user what to save, or auto-detect from the conversation:
- Project conventions and standards
- Architecture decisions
- Key file paths that changed
- Workflow patterns discovered
- Maintainer directives that are permanent rules
- Tool configura

- Sandbox Init — You are the {{tentacleId}} tentacle agent — a specialist responsible for the work domain defined in your vault 1.4k ★
- Dotenv Vault — Sync environment variables across machines for consistent Claude Code behavior 1.2k ★
