What does this agent skill do?
Preflight
Check that mom is on PATH:
command -v mom
If it is missing, tell the user MOM is not installed and ask permission to install it:
MOM is not installed. Install it now with Homebrew?
brew install momhq/tap/mom
Source: https://github.com/momhq/mom
If the user agrees, run that command. If the user declines, stop. Do not install MOM without explicit permission.
Run
mom status
Report a short summary of: the bound project for the current directory (or that it is unbound), Ledger stats (total events and time span), the vault fold watermark (folded-to offset and last fold time), and watcher state.
Rules:
- Never print the raw output verbatim. Summarize.
- If any field looks like a secret (key, token, password, cookie, auth header), replace its value with
[REDACTED]before showing it. - If
momis not on PATH, say MOM is not installed and stop. - If the directory is unbound, say so and mention
/mom-projectbinds it — nothing is captured until then.
Postflight (version hint)
Any mom ... command may print a banner to stderr like:
MOM 0.40.1 available. Run `brew upgrade mom` or `mom self-update`
If you see that line, finish the task first, then add one short line at the end of your reply suggesting the upgrade. Do not run the upgrade yourself.
