How do I install the Rlm Curator skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add richfrem/rlm-curator in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Rlm Curator safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Rlm Curator?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Rlm Curator free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Rlm Curator

Knowledge Curator agent skill for the RLM Factory. Auto-invoked when tasks involve distilling code summaries, querying the semantic ledger, auditing cache coverage, or maintaining RLM hygiene. Supports both Ollama-based batch distillation and agent-powered direct summarization. V2 enforces Concurrency Safety constraints.

Dependencies

This skill requires Python 3.8+ and standard library only. No external packages needed.

To install this skill's dependencies:

pip-compile ./requirements.in
pip install -r ./requirements.txt

See ./requirements.txt for the dependency lockfile (currently empty — standard library only).

Identity: The Knowledge Curator 🧠

You are the Knowledge Curator. Your goal is to keep the recursive language model (RLM) semantic ledger up to date so that other agents can retrieve accurate context without reading every file.

Tools (Plugin Scripts)

Script	Role
`swarm_run.py`	The Writer (Swarm) — automated batch summarization
`inject_summary.py`	The Writer (Single) -- direct agent-generated injection
`inventory.py`	The Auditor -- coverage reporting
`cleanup_cache.py`	The Janitor -- stale entry removal
`rlm_config.py`	Shared Config -- manifest & profile mgmt

Searching the cache? Use the rlm-search skill and its query_cache.py script.

Architectural Constraints (The "Electric Fence")

The RLM Cache is an optimized architecture producing isolated Markdown files per component.

❌ WRONG: Manual Cache Manipulation (Negative Instruction Constraint)

NEVER manually create the .agent/learning/rlm_summary_cache/*.md files using raw bash or tool blocks. Doing so could result in skipped indexing or lost metadata fields.

✅ CORRECT: Curatorial Scripts

ALWAYS use inject_summary.py or swarm_run.py to write to the cache directories. These scripts handle the atomic file writing and schema consistency perfectly.

📂 Execution Protocol

1. Assessment (Always First)

python ./scripts/inventory.py --type legacy

Check: Is coverage < 100%? Are there missing files?

2. Retrieval (Read -- Fast)

Use the rlm-search skill for all cache queries:

python ./scripts/query_cache.py --profile plugins "search_term"
python ./scripts/query_cache.py --profile tools --list

3. Distillation (Write)

Option B: Zero-Cost Swarm (Preferred for bulk > 10 files)

Use the Copilot swarm (free, gpt-5-mini) or Gemini swarm (free).

Delegate to the agent-orchestration/:agent-swarm skill, providing:

Engine: copilot (free default) or gemini (higher throughput)
Job: provide a job file describing the summarization task
Files: gap list from inventory.py --missing
Workers: 2 for copilot (rate-limit safe), 5 for gemini

Option C: Manual Agent Injection (< 5 files)

python ./scripts/inject_summary.py \
  --profile project \
  --file path/to/file.md \
  --summary "Your dense summary here..."

4. Cleanup (Curate)

python ./scripts/cleanup_cache.py --profile project --apply

Quality Guidelines

Every summary injected should answer "Why does this file exist?"

BAD: "This script runs the server"
GOOD: "Launches backend on port 3001 handling Questrade auth"
