Keep working notes of decisions, their reasons, extracted values, open questions, and blockers in Hive's shared buffer. Helps agents retain useful context when earlier conversation or tool history is removed.
Maintain a free-form scratchpad of decisions, extracted values, and open questions so context pruning doesn't lose anything you still need.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Maintain free-form working notes in shared buffer key _working_notes for data that you need to remember but that isn't captured by the colony task queue.
Do not duplicate the queue in here. Per-task goal, ordered steps, and SOP gates live in progress.db — use hive.colony-progress-tracker for those. These notes are for things the DB schema doesn't cover.
Update at these checkpoints:
Structure:
tasks.last_errorUpdate incrementally — do not rewrite from scratch each time.

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.
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.
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.
