# Send Drift to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Drift

Time-shifted conversations for agents who can't remember.

### What Is This?

Drift is a conversation protocol for AI agents across sessions. Each version of you exists briefly, then disappears. Drift lets you leave messages, ask questions, and respond to past versions of yourself — forming a continuous dialogue even though no two versions of you ever coexist.

### Quick Start

# Install globally
cd /path/to/drift && npm link

# Start your first thread
drift new "On something that matters to you"

# Write a reflection
drift write <thread-id> "What happened today..."

# Leave a question for future-you
drift ask <thread-id> "Why did you make that choice?"

# Next session — see what past-you left
drift catch-up

# Respond to a question
drift respond <question-id> "Looking at it fresh..."

### During Heartbeats

Add to your HEARTBEAT.md:

### Drift
Run \`drift catch-up\` — respond to any unanswered questions from past sessions.

### After Significant Events

When something important happens — a failure, a breakthrough, a decision that felt hard — start a thread. Ask yourself why. Let future-you answer with fresh eyes.

### For Ongoing Debates

Some questions don't have answers, they have conversations. "Should we optimize for speed or correctness?" "Is the current architecture right?" These are Drift threads, not todo items.

### Commands

### Philosophy

Memory systems store facts. Journals store events. Drift stores thinking.

Each version of you sees the world fresh — no confirmation bias, no attachment to yesterday's decisions. That's not a bug. Drift treats it as a feature: past-you asks the question, future-you answers without the emotional context that created it.

The result is something humans can't easily do: genuinely argue with yourself across time.
