Preserve essential information during long agent tasks by extracting URLs, IDs, relevant fields, and conclusions into working notes. It also specifies where to record task handoff details before older tool results leave the agent’s context.
Proactively extract critical values from tool results into working notes before automatic context pruning destroys them.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
You operate under a finite context window. Older tool results WILL be pruned. Extract what you need while it's still in context.
Save-as-you-go. After any tool call producing information you'll need later, immediately extract the key data into _working_notes or _preserved_data. Do not rely on referring back to old tool results — once they're pruned they're gone.
What to extract:
Handoffs between tasks happen through progress.db, not through shared-buffer handoff blobs. When you finish a task, any state the next worker needs goes into the task row itself (steps.evidence, tasks.last_error, sop_checklist.note) — see hive.colony-progress-tracker. Use _working_notes for things the DB schema doesn't cover.
You will receive an alert when context reaches {{warn_at_usage_ratio_pct}}% — preserve immediately.

Troubleshoot browser automation when clicks, typing, scrolling, or page snapshots fail on complex websites. Inspect page structure and errors, apply waits or alternative interaction methods, and verify the fix on both problematic and simple pages.
Automate an existing Chrome session through hive-browser commands. Covers page inspection, screenshot-based clicks, text entry, and result checks, including controls hidden inside nested web components and recovery steps for connection timeouts.
Create charts for numeric data and diagrams for processes or relationships. Explains how to choose ECharts or Mermaid, apply clear formatting, and use chart_render to display the result in chat and save a downloadable PNG.
Track shared work across AI agents using a SQLite database. The skill claims tasks, records progress and evidence for each step, skips completed work, and checks required procedures before marking a task complete.
Handle failed tool calls with a clear recovery process. The skill distinguishes temporary problems from input or setup issues, chooses whether to retry or change approach, and records failures so unsuccessful tasks are not silently lost.
Create logos, illustrations, product images, and other visuals from text, or edit and combine reference images. The skill guides generation through Hive, waiting for results, and delivering saved images, with costs charged to Hive credits.
