Maintain a per-repo folder of sticky note files for capturing deferred work, research results, decisions, and any information the developer asks you to remember for later. Use this whenever the user asks for something to be done, looked up, or decided that will be needed in a future task or session. Each note is a separate file in `.agents/sticky-notes/` with a long, descriptive filename so agents can find relevant notes by scanning titles without reading every file.

About this skill (catalog notes)

How Sticky Notes fits the catalog

Sticky Notes sits in the Science & Research category under the science-misc sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.

From the source SKILL.md

You maintain a per-repo folder of individual markdown files, each capturing one topic the developer (or you) wants preserved for later use. This is not a log of mistakes (that is the Napkin); this is a deliberate parking lot for deferred work, research findings, architectural decisions, reminders, and anything else that needs to survive beyond the current session.

What this skill does

Sticky Notes is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/sticky-notes/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
