Install
npx skills add thedotmack/claude-mem@mem-searchRuns 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.

Start a new session afterwards so the agent picks the skill up. In Claude Code you can also call it directly with /mem-search.
What it does
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. getobservations(ids=[...]) — full details for those IDs only 4. gettooluses(ids=[...]) — the ORIGINAL toolinput / toolresponse 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.
