# /instinct-import — portable instinct pack in (confidence-gated)
> **`{SKILL_DIR}`** = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this).

python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/instinct.py" import PACK.yaml --dry-run
```
Read the planned `add` / `update` / `skip` lines. Then apply:
```bash
python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/instinct.py" import PACK.yaml
```
## Merge rules
| Incoming vs local | Result |
|---|---|
| No local instinct with that `id` | **add** → `<vault>/⚙️ Meta/Agent Memory/inherited/<id>.md`, tagged `inherited: true` |
| Incoming confidence **>** local | **update** local confidence to the incoming value (one-time `.bak-instinct` kept) |
| Incoming confidence **<=** local | **skip** (your local instinct already wins) |
Inherited instincts land in an `inherited/` subdir and are marked
`inherited: true` so they are visibly second-class until you confirm them.
They start at `obser
