Individual skill
environment-memory
Use before retrying any command, tool, or approach that failed once, and immediately after discovering any OS/shell/tool-specific quirk — checks and updates a stable cross-project quirks file so failed approaches are never silently repeated.

# Environment Memory
## Overview
Trial-and-error against the same broken assumption — "maybe bash works this time" — wastes turns
