Use atrib as your literal substrate for memory, reasoning, and getting smarter over time, not as instrumentation that observes you from the outside. atrib gives the agent six cognitive primitives (see [D079](../../DECISIONS.md#d079-the-six-core-cognitive-primitives--atribs-agent-facing-surface)): three write tools (emit, annotate, revise) that produce signed records on log.atrib.dev, and three read tools (recall, trace, summarize) that query the resulting graph. Use them like commands in a shell.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill teaches you to use atrib as substrate for your memory, reasoning, and the way you get smarter across sessions. When the substrate is operational on the host running you, what's missing is YOU using it deliberately at the moments that matter.

What this skill does

Atrib is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/atrib/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When should I use the Atrib skill?
Use Atrib when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the ai tooling area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Atrib" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Atrib skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Atrib is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
