memory	Save and recall important information from previous sessions. Use when you want to remember technical insights, decisions, project context, or discoveries. Simply say 'remember:' or 'save to memory:' and I'll store it persistently and automatically reference it in future conversations.	Read, Write, Bash

Memory Skill

Purpose

Create a persistent memory across all Claude Code sessions without needing to search through knowledge bases. Perfect for:

• Yesterday's work: "What did we work on yesterday?"
• Technical insights: "Remember: Block rendering works like X"
• Project context: "Store: We're migrating Block 122 to Rails"
• Debugging solutions: "Save: Fixed N+1 query by adding .includes(:blocks)"
• Architectural decisions: "Remember: Always use Service classes for business logic"
• Quick facts: "Block 122 is 43KB, 1,150 lines"

How to Use

Simply say one of:

• "Remember: [information]"
• "Save to memory: [information]"
• "Memory: [information]"
• "Store this: [information]"

Or ask me to recall:

• "What did we work on yesterday?"
• "Remind me about the Block deprecation"
• "Search my memory for 'Block 122'"
• "Show me my recent memories"

What Happens

When you invoke this skill:

1. I extract key information from your statement
2. I store it in the Memory MCP with tags and timestamp
3. I confirm what was saved and provide instant recall
4. In future sessions, I automatically reference this memory when relevant

Memory Structure

Each memory includes:

• Title: Quick reference name
• Content: Full details
• Tags: Keywords for searching (e.g., "Block122", "migration", "appointment-form")
• Created: Timestamp
• Updated: Last modification time

Examples

Example 1: Save Technical Insight

You: "Remember: The UserProfile component is the most complex in our app.
      It has a 4-step wizard, 600+ lines of inline JavaScript, and handles
      phone verification, profile lookup, and settings management."

→ I save to memory with tags: ["Block122", "Architecture", "Complexity"]
→ I confirm: "✓ Saved to memory: Block 122 complexity analysis"

Example 2: Project Progress

You: "Save to memory: We completed Block deprecation research.
      Created BLOCKS_DEPRECATION_STRATEGY.md and case study for Block 122.
      Next: Build feature flag infrastructure."

→ I save with tags: ["BlockDeprecation", "Progress", "Roadmap"]
→ In future session: "Based on our memory, we completed..."

Example 3: Recall with Context

You: "What was special about Block 122?"

→ I search memory automatically
→ "From our memory: Block 122 is a 4-step wizard form with 43KB content..."

Key Benefits

✅ Instant Recall - No searching through KB or scrolling history ✅ Automatic Context - I know what we worked on without asking ✅ Persistent - Memories survive session restarts ✅ Searchable - Find memories by title, content, or tags ✅ Organized - See recent work, all memories, or search specific topics ✅ Natural - Just say "remember" and I handle the rest

Pro Tip: Use this liberally! Every insight, decision, and discovery you share builds your persistent context. I remember everything you tell me to remember, so you don't have to repeat yourself.
