Attic Index

Name: Attic Index
Author: NishikantaRay

List everything in the attic. Use for questions about the attic's CONTENTS as a whole with no particular topic: "what's in the attic", "what have you stashed", "list stashed items", "show the index", "how many items are in the attic". A question about a specific topic goes to attic-recall instead; this skill answers "what is in there", not "what did we find about X".

File contents

Attic index

First, in the same shell command as anything below, locate the script:

ATTIC_JS=$(ls -d "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/plugins/cache/attic/attic/*/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "$HOME"/.agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js .agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)

node "$ATTIC_JS" index

Print the output as-is. If the script reports no .attic/, reply "Attic is empty. Nothing stashed yet in this project." and stop.

No commentary beyond that.
