## What it is

**Memory** holds the details Infinall remembers about you and your business across chats, such as your brand voice or your audience. **Skills** are reusable sets of instructions Infinall applies to your work. Each one has its own screen in Settings.

## Who can use it

Everyone. The code puts no plan limit on memory or skills. Free and Pro accounts see the same two screens.

## Cost

Free, no credits. Adding, editing and removing memories and skills never uses credits. The chat replies that use them follow the normal chat cost.

## Where to find it

Open **Settings**. Under **Customize**, click **Memory** or **Skills**. You can also search the Settings menu for "remember", "memories", "auto skills", "skill", "github", "library" or "instructions". The same lists are in the chat under **Customize**.

## Buttons and controls

## How to turn memory on or off

1. Open **Settings**, then **Memory**.
2. Switch **Use memory** on or off.

When memory is off, the list shows "Memory is off. Turn it on to let Infinall remember you." Your saved memories stay until you delete them.

## How to add, edit and delete a memory

1. Open **Settings**, then **Memory**.
2. To add one, type it in "Add something to remember, e.g. Our brand voice is playful and direct" and click **Add**. A note says "Saved to memory."
3. To change one, hover over it and click **Edit memory**. Change the text, then click **Save**.
4. To delete one, hover over it and click **Delete memory**.

You can also say "remember..." or "forget..." in any chat.

## How to clear all memories

1. Open **Settings**, then **Memory**.
2. Click **Clear all**.
3. Click **Delete all (number)** to confirm, or **Cancel** to back out.
4. A note says how many were cleared, for example "Cleared 12 memories." Your chats are not deleted.

## How to add a skill from the library

1. Open **Settings**, then **Skills**, then the **Library** tab.
2. Pick a category chip or type in **Search the library**.
3. Click **+ Add** on the skill. To read it first, click the card.
4. A note says "Skill added. Infinall will use it automatically." It now shows under **Your skills**.

## How to write your own skill

1. Open **Settings**, then **Skills**.
2. Click **New skill**, then **Write a skill**.
3. In **Create a skill**, fill in the name (for example "Name, e.g. Product launch email"), then "When to use it (one sentence)", then the instructions in markdown. Under the name box you see the command it will get, such as /product-launch-email.
4. Click **Save skill**.
5. A note says "Saved. Use it with /" and the command.

The **Save skill** button stays grey until you fill in the name and the instructions.

## How to import skills from GitHub

1. Open **Settings**, then **Skills**.
2. Click **New skill**, then **Import from GitHub**.
3. Paste a public repository address, for example https://github.com/owner/repo. To import one folder, point to it, for example github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/marketing.
4. Click **Import skills**. It reads "Importing..." while it works.
5. A note says how many were imported, for example "Imported 8 of 9 skills from owner/repo". Some may fail and are left out.

## How to switch a skill off or remove it

1. Open **Settings**, then **Skills**, then **Your skills**.
2. To stop using it for now, switch off **Use (skill name)**.
3. To delete it, click **Remove (skill name)**. A note says "Skill removed."

## How to use a skill in chat

Type / in a chat followed by the skill name, for example /product-launch-email. Or leave **Use skills automatically** on and Infinall picks one when it fits. Tip: type /skill in any chat to have Infinall write one for you.

## Options explained

**Memory headings.** Each memory belongs to one heading.

| Heading | What goes in it |
| --- | --- |
| About you | Facts about you. |
| Business & brand | Your business and brand. |
| Audience | Who you sell to. |
| Goals | What you are aiming for. |
| Preferences | How you like things done. |
| Instructions | Standing rules you set. |
| Tools | The tools you use. |
| Other | Anything that fits nowhere else. Memories you add by hand land here. |

**Where skills come from.** Each skill card says where it came from.

| Shown on the card | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| Created by you | You wrote it. |
| From library | You added it from the **Library** tab. |
| From GitHub | You imported it from a repository. |

**Memory and skills together.** Memory is facts about you. A skill is a method for doing a task. Use memory for "we sell coffee to students" and a skill for "how to write our launch email".

## Limits

- You can keep up to 500 memories. When you go over, the least important and least used ones are dropped first.
- One memory holds up to 500 characters. Longer text is cut.
- A skill's instructions hold up to 40,000 characters. Longer text is cut.
- A skill name holds up to 120 characters. The "When to use it" line holds up to 500.
- One GitHub import reads up to 300 skills.
- The **Library** tab shows 40 skills at a time. **Show more** adds the next batch.
- Memory does not accept secrets. See the table below.

## When something goes wrong

| Message in the app | What it means | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| That looks like a secret (API key, password, or card number). Memory is not a safe place for it. | What you typed looks like a key, a password or a card number, so it was refused. | Leave the secret out and add the rest. |
| Memory is empty. | The text had nothing in it after spaces were removed. | Type something and add it again. |
| Memory not found | The memory was already deleted, perhaps in another tab. | Refresh the page. |
| Name and instructions are required. | You tried to save a skill with no name or no instructions. | Fill in both, then click **Save skill**. |
| Skill not found | The skill was already removed. | Refresh the page. |
| Skill not found in the catalog | The library skill is no longer there. | Pick another one from the **Library** tab. |
| Enter a GitHub repository URL, e.g. https://github.com/owner/repo | The address is not a GitHub repository address. | Paste the address of a repository on github.com. |
| Repository not found or not public. | GitHub has no public repository at that address. | Check the address. Only public repositories work. |
| No SKILL.md files were found in that repository. | The repository has no SKILL.md files. | Point to a repository or folder that has them. |
| Could not import from GitHub: (reason) | GitHub did not answer as expected. | Try again in a moment. |

If a switch or a delete does not save, a red message with the reason shows at the top of the screen and the switch goes back.

## Questions

### Does Infinall remember things I did not tell it?

Yes, when **Use memory** is on. It picks up lasting facts about you from your chats, such as your brand, audience, goals and preferences. It does not keep one-off task details. It never saves what looks like a key, password or card number. Switch **Use memory** off to stop it.

### Will turning memory off delete what it remembers?

No. It stops Infinall using and adding memories. Your saved list stays until you delete it.

### Can I make Infinall forget one thing?

Yes. Click **Delete memory** on that row, or say "forget..." in a chat.

### What happens if I make a skill with the same name as one I have?

It replaces the old one. A skill is saved under a command made from its name, and the same command means the same skill.

### What is the difference between Use skills automatically and the switch on each skill?

**Use skills automatically** decides if Infinall picks skills by itself. **Use (skill name)** switches one skill on or off. With the first switch off, a skill that is still on runs only when you type its command.

### Does importing from GitHub take my repository?

No. It only reads the SKILL.md files in a public repository and saves a copy as skills in your list.

### Do memory and skills use credits?

No. Setting them up is free. Chat replies that use them follow the normal chat cost.
