About help

help is a read-only Origin plugin skill that prints a reference card of available commands and their uses. It does not call tools and is intended for requests about the plugin or its command list.

Key features

  1. 01Print the plugin reference card
  2. 02Read-only with no tool calls
  3. 03List common commands and uses

Use cases

  1. 01Review Origin plugin commands
  2. 02Find out what the plugin can do

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill help

After installing, type/helpin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Details

From the project README

/help

Print the Origin plugin reference card. Read-only — never calls a tool.

How to invoke

When triggered, output the block below verbatim. No editing, no abbreviating, no embellishing. The user is asking for the menu.

Origin plugin — daily verbs

  /init         set up Origin (auto-installs daemon + local memory)
  /brief        load identity + topic context (start of session)
  /capture <x>  save one durable memory in flow
  /recall <q>   search local memory
  /distill [t]  synthesize pages from clusters (scoped to current repo)
  /read <p>     preview a distilled page inline
  /review <surface>   deep audit (surface = captures|revisions); /brief handles daily
  /forget <id>  delete a memory by ID
  /handoff      end-of-session ritual (session log + captures)
  /debrief      alias for /handoff (brief/debrief symmetry)
  /help         this card

Daily flow (~1 min overhead per session):

  1. start session  →  hook auto-checks daemon, silent if up
  2. /brief         →  ~5 s, load context
  3. work normally  →  Claude proactively /captures durable facts
  4. /recall X      →  as needed for lookups
  5. /handoff       →  ~30 s, narrative session log + captures

Where your data lives (everything under ~/.origin/):

  ~/.origin/pages/      wiki pages distilled from your memories (md)
  ~/.origin/sessions/   session logs by date (md)
  ~/.origin/sessions/_status/  current per-project goals + last-handoff
  ~/.origin/db/         memories + knowledge graph (symlink to libSQL)
  ~/.origin/bin/        installed binaries

View it without a GUI:

  open ~/.origin/                  browse in Finder
  code ~/.origin/                  open in VS Code
  git -C ~/.origin log --oneline   timeline of every memory + distill pass
  ln -s ~/.origin/pages ~/Vault/origin   # symlink into Obsidian for graph view

~/.origin/ is a git repo. Skills auto-commit per logical batch (one per
session, distill pass, or forget). Use git log / git diff / git revert
as a free audit trail. No remote — purely local history.

Three classes of artifact:
  - memories: granular, queryable, live in DB only (confirmed = stays in DB)
  - pages:    synthesized wikis, DB + ~/.origin/pages/*.md projection
  - sessions: chronological narrative, ~/.origin/sessions/*.md only

Daemon must run at 127.0.0.1:7878. Hook prints "/origin:init" if down.

Optional upgrades for richer distill cycles:
  origin model install            local Qwen, no API cost
  origin key set anthropic        Anthropic API, higher quality

When to use

  • User explicitly types /help.
  • User asks "what can I do with origin", "list origin commands", "how does this plugin work", "remind me what verbs are available".
  • First session after install — print this once on /init success too.

When NOT to use

  • Specific factual lookup → use /recall.
  • Setup troubleshooting → use /init (it diagnoses + auto-installs).
