mem-search
This skill should be used when the user asks to "search memory", "what do you remember about X", "check claude-mem", "mem search", "find past observations", "what did we do last session", or wants prior-session context about a project, decision, file, or task. Searches the user's Claude-Mem (cmem.ai) memory.

Skills are plain text instructions the agent follows, sometimes with scripts. Check the source, prefer repositories with many installs and stars, and read any script it ships.
Install
npx skills add thedotmack/claude-mem@mem-search-3Runs in a terminal with Node.js 18 or newer. Add -y to skip the prompts and -g to install for every project instead of this one.
Install for your agent
npx skills add thedotmack/claude-mem@mem-search-3 --agent claude-code -y- Project install writes to
.claude/skills/mem-search-3- Global install writes to
~/.claude/skills/mem-search-3
Start a new session afterwards so the agent picks the skill up. In Claude Code you can also call it directly with /mem-search-3.

Memory contains timestamped observations synthesized from past sessions across all their agents (Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and others). How to search Run the bundled CLI (no dependencies, uses the plugin's configured API key): Progressive search method Follow claude-mem's Index → Timeline → Transcript discipline — cheap passes first, expensive detail only for confirmed hits: 1. Index pass — run 1–3 broad keyword searches (project names, file names, error strings, feature names). Skim titles/summaries only.…
