Hey Mint
Learning

Skills and memory

Mint gets better at your tasks: it keeps short how-tos (skills) and the facts you tell it (memory), and you can read and edit both.

Learning

Skills

A skill is a short how-to for a kind of task: when to use it, the steps that work, and notes. For each request, Jev picks the one skill that fits from the real list, or none, in about a second.

Skills & Memory window. Every skill with its record (worked / failed), the apps it is for, its category, its steps and notes. New, Delete and Save at the bottom.

  • save how to do that as a skill
  • next time use the sidebar
  • update the ChatGPT skill: the button is called Create
  • what skills do you have?
  • delete that skill
  • show me your skills

How Mint learns by itself

  1. A task took six or more steps, recovered from a failure, or you corrected Mint along the way.
  2. A background model writes it up: only the steps that worked, generalised, with your corrections as notes. If a skill for it exists, it is updated instead of duplicated.
  3. Each time the skill is used, the result is recorded. Skills rise through new learning reliable, or get marked shaky and fixed.

Skills are grouped in category folders (skills/apps/chatgpt/…). A skill for one app is only used when your request is about that app. Seeds ship for ChatGPT (projects, chats, search), ZCode, Claude Code, Codex, Slack channels, Google Docs, and what to do when a click does nothing. Deleted skills go to skills/_archive.

Learning

Memory

One fact per block, grouped: core, people, work, accounts, schedule, preferences, places, vocabulary, misc. Only what matters to a question is looked up.

  • remember my manager is Meera
  • make that a fixed memory
  • my manager is now Rahul
  • who's my boss?
  • forget my old address
  • what do you remember about me?
  • show me what you remember
SayToolWhat happens
“remember …”rememberJev files it in a group and replaces a fact it contradicts, in one call
“make that fixed”remember fixedAlways in Mint's mind; everything else is recalled on demand
“… is now …”update_memoryChanges the fact
“who's my boss?”recallJev checks every block and returns only the relevant ones
“forget …”forgetRemoves it

Facts are also picked up from conversation summaries. Read and edit every fact in the Skills & Memory window (Memory tab), or in memory/MEMORY.md.

Passwords, keys and card numbers are refused, in memory and in skills.
