Cognitive Memory SKILL.md: Proactive Edge Creation Updates

Changes Made

Updated ~/.claude/skills/cognitive-memory/SKILL.md with three targeted changes to promote edge usage:

  1. New workflow pattern #8 — "Create Edges Between Related Memories" covering all 7 relation types (SOLVES, CAUSES, BUILDS_ON, ALTERNATIVE_TO, REQUIRES, FOLLOWS, RELATED_TO), CLI and MCP examples, graph traversal patterns, and a "when to create edges" guide.

  2. Updated workflow pattern #1 — "Store a Bug Fix" now shows how to relate the solution memory to its problem memory using a SOLVES edge immediately after storing.

  3. Added proactive trigger #11 — Create edges after storing memories, with rationale about enriching RAG retrieval context.

Motivation

Upcoming RAG server implementation needs rich graph context to surface relevant memories during retrieval. Edges provide relationship signal that pure vector similarity misses.
