mode-creator
Interactively create, install, activate, and verify custom claude-mem modes, including domain-specific observation types, concept tags, optional Telegram alerts, bot setup, worker restart, and startup-context verification. Use this whenever someone asks to customize what claude-mem remembers, create or change a mode, track domain-specific notes, add observation types or tags, or send Telegram notifications for particular memories—even if they do not use the word "mode.

What it does
Mode Creator Create a useful note-taking system, not merely a valid JSON file. Interview the user, propose a small taxonomy, obtain approval, install it durably, configure optional alerts, restart the worker, and prove the active mode appears in startup context. Ground rules - Use the available interactive question tool (AskUserQuestion, requestuserinput, or equivalent) for the interview. Ask in small batches and wait for each response. - Explain observation types as mutually exclusive kinds of notes and concepts as reusable tags. Avoid jargon unless the user uses it first. - Inspect existing…
