What it does

Use this when the user asks to search memory, "did we already solve this?", "how did we do X last time?", or wants work from previous sessions.

mem-search

Layered workflow. Do not dump full observations until IDs are filtered, and do not reach for raw tool bodies until the summaries came up short.

  1. search(query), index with IDs
  2. timeline(anchor=ID), nearby context
  3. get_observations(ids=[...]), full details for those IDs only
  4. get_tool_uses(ids=[...]), the ORIGINAL tool_input / tool_response for specific tool calls. Last resort: these are unsummarized and can run to thousands of tokens each.

Stamp platformSource as cursor or grok-bot on writes for this host. When reading, do not drop the other host unless asked.

If MCP is missing, run the install skill first (npx claude-mem install --ide <host>).
