About this skill
Screen Memory, the disabled-by-default, local-only desktop buffer of recent screen/app/window context, plus its status and query actions. Use when the user asks what was on screen recently, or when reading, exporting, enabling, or describing Screen Memory.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by builderio/agent-native in templates/clips/.agents/skills/screen-memory/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Rule
Screen Memory is a disabled-by-default, local-only desktop buffer of recent screen, app, and window context. It is not a hosted Clips recording, and never describe it as hosted, shared, exhaustive, or enabled by default.
Reading it from the in-app agent
- Call
get-screen-memory-statusbefore relying on it at all. - Then call
query-screen-memory-contextfor bounded recent snippets when local context files are present.
If the local Screen Memory MCP built-in is connected, the agent may also use
screen_memory_status, screen_memory_recent_context, and
screen_memory_recent_segments. Only inspect or export segment file paths when
the user explicitly asks.
User control and external agents
Users enable, pause, export, and clear the buffer from the desktop tray
settings. External local agents can read recent app/window context through
agent-native mcp screen-memory.
Do not upload raw Screen Memory segments or treat them as shareable Clips unless the user explicitly exports and imports them.
