# atrib: use the protocol from the inside out
This skill teaches you to use atrib as substrate for your memory, reasoning, and the way you get smarter across sessions. When the substrate is operational on the host running you, what's missing is YOU using it deliberately at the moments that matter.
If you're invoked in a Claude Code session and you're not using atrib's primitives during consequential work, **the substrate is fine but the practice is broken**. This skill is the fix.
## The seven cognitive primitives ([D079](../../DECISIONS.md#d079-the-six-core-cognitive-primitives--atribs-agent-facing-surface), [D106](../../DECISIONS.md#d106-verify-is-promoted-to-cognitive-primitive-7))
atrib exposes seven agent-facing MCP tools. Each is monomorphic: one purpose, one narrow input schema, one composable output. Reach for them like you reach for `cat`, `grep`, `find`, when they're the right tool, use them.
