Hitting 77 Skills Across 10 Categories — The MemStack Pro Documentation Overhaul

Just wrapped up one of those massive documentation sessions that feels like doing your taxes but actually ends up being super satisfying.

The Big Picture

MemStack Pro now has 77 skills across 10 categories, and today was all about making sure that number actually means something. I spent the entire session doing the unglamorous but necessary work of auditing, organizing, and documenting everything.

What Got Done

Stripe Webhook Improvements Parameterized the inviteCollaborator function so it now invites Pro buyers to both the main memstack-pro repo and the new memstack-skill-loader repo in parallel. Nothing fancy, just Promise.all doing its thing.

Documentation Cleanup Updated the GETTING-STARTED guide to include the MCP Skill Loader onboarding flow. Also added it as an upsell bullet in the free README because, honestly, it's a pretty cool feature.

Core Skills Organization Added a "Core (17)" section at the top of SKILL-REFERENCE.md. These are the foundational skills that show up in basically every session, so they deserved their own spotlight.

Phase Matrix — The Big One This was the meaty part. I mapped all 77 skills to 6 development phases: IDEA, SCAFFOLD, BUILD, AUDIT, SHIP, and MAINTAIN. The breakdown looks like:

• IDEA: 19 skills
• SCAFFOLD: 21 skills
• BUILD: 43 skills
• AUDIT: 20 skills
• SHIP: 30 skills
• MAINTAIN: 21 skills

While doing this, I found 18 "ghost skills" — references that didn't actually exist. Most were just naming mismatches or skills that got absorbed into others, but 8 are genuinely missing. The top candidates for actually building: auth-flow, stripe-integration, changelog, env-manager, and uptime-monitor.

Community Contribution Submitted PR #170 to VoltAgent's awesome-agent-skills repo to get MemStack listed in their Context Engineering section. Keeping the description to exactly 10 words per their guidelines.

The Commits

Seven commits across four repositories. Everything's clean and pushed. The skill count is now consistently 77 across all documentation, and I even added a session-start rule so future sessions load the diary first for better context.

What's Next

Waiting to see if the VoltAgent PR gets accepted. Need to update the marketing site to reflect "77" instead of "75+" skills. And honestly, those ghost skills are calling to me — might be worth building a few of the high-impact ones.

Sessions like this aren't glamorous, but they're necessary. Having everything properly documented and organized makes the actual building so much smoother.
