Memory skills

Find it. Understand it. Build on it.

Use the bundled claude-mem skills to search your history, plan work, explore a codebase, and build focused knowledge from past sessions.

In practice

Useful moves for the next session.

01

Find the decision.

Start with mem-search. Search first, inspect the timeline, then read the observations that matter.

02

Explore the code.

Use smart-explore to inspect symbols and structure before opening full files. The amount of context saved depends on the task.

03

Make a plan.

Use make-plan to break the task into work the agent can carry out, with past decisions available as context.
