Add git-as-memory skill for Git-backed agent memory

[femto]

Summary

• Adds a new memory category under skills
• Adds the git-as-memory skill which provides Git-backed durable memory for agents
• Supports OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, and other agents that can run shell commands

What is git-as-memory?

A memory layer that stores agent memory directly in Git refs (not the working tree), providing:

• Append-only history through commits
• Auditable provenance
• No working tree changes
• Versioned storage namespace

Test plan

• Verify skill loads correctly in Hermes
• Test basic gam commands (init, write, read, search)

Thanks for the contribution. A git-ref-backed memory workflow is a plausible fit for the skill layer, and the PR avoids adding a new core tool.

Problems

• skills/memory/git-as-memory/agents/openai.yaml:1 appears inert in current main. I found the skill tooling only allow-lists supporting files under references/, templates/, scripts/, and assets/ (tools/skill_manager_tool.py:171, tools/skill_manager_tool.py:427), and a repo-wide search for openai.yaml / default_prompt found no skill loader path consuming this metadata.
• The new SKILL.md has only name and description frontmatter. The in-repo authoring guide says bundled peer skills normally include version, author, license, and metadata.hermes (skills/software-development/hermes-agent-skill-authoring/SKILL.md:40, skills/software-development/hermes-agent-skill-authoring/SKILL.md:56).
• This creates a new top-level skills/memory/ category. The authoring guide says to pick the closest existing category and not invent new top-level categories casually (skills/software-development/hermes-agent-skill-authoring/SKILL.md:95, skills/software-development/hermes-agent-skill-authoring/SKILL.md:103).

Suggested changes

• Drop or relocate agents/openai.yaml unless a real current-main consumer is added.
• Add the standard bundled-skill metadata frontmatter.
• Reconsider the category placement or note why memory should become a new top-level category.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

I couldn't find any current-main skill loader that consumes agents/openai.yaml or default_prompt for bundled skills; supporting files are normally under references/, templates/, scripts/, or assets/, so this file looks inert unless a consumer is added.

Bundled in-repo skills normally include version, author, license, and metadata.hermes frontmatter; adding those would match the repository's skill-authoring conventions.
