Its memory-routing table (Discussions vs journal vs ADR vs gitignored research/) is genuinely well organized, but every gh api graphql example hardcodes owner=athola name=claude-night-market — dropped into another repo unmodified, it would silently query the wrong project's Discussions instead of erroring.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 5/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Night Market Collective Memory does

Tells an agent where to search and record project memory — GitHub Discussions, a decision journal, and numbered ADRs — before re-investigating a settled question. Triggers on requests to check prior decisions, log a tradeoff or lesson, or write an ADR, and explicitly defers settled failures to a sibling 'failure-archaeology' skill. Every GraphQL example hardcodes the source repo's owner/name (athola/claude-night-market), so reuse in another project needs manual substitution.

How to install Night Market Collective Memory

git clone https://github.com/athola/claude-night-market
cd claude-night-market
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r .claude/skills/night-market-collective-memory ~/.claude/skills/night-market-collective-memory

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Night Market Collective Memory

  • /night-market-collective-memory Routes project knowledge to Discussions/ADRs/journal — every example hardcodes one repo's identity.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Before we redo this, check if we already decided this in Discussions
  • Log this tradeoff and the reasoning behind it as an ADR
  • Write a decision journal entry for why we chose this approach
