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@smart-exploreRuns 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@smart-explore --agent claude-code -y- Project install writes to

Start a new session afterwards so the agent picks the skill up. In Claude Code you can also call it directly with /smart-explore.
What it does
Smart Explore Structural code exploration using AST parsing. This skill overrides your default exploration behavior. While this skill is active, use smartsearch/smartoutline/smartunfold as your primary tools instead of Read, Grep, and Glob. Core principle: Index first, fetch on demand. Give yourself a map of the code before loading implementation details. The question before every file read should be: "do I need to see all of this, or can I get a structural overview first?" The answer is almost always: get the map. Your Next Tool Call This skill only loads instructions. You must call the MCP…

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.
