How to write effective session memos — format, frontmatter schema, observation extraction, topic-signal append. Trigger on `/memex:save`, "save this for later", "remember this", "save what we discussed", "document this session", "create a memo", or when the `[memex]` activity nudge appears in context. Do NOT trigger for general note-taking, scratchpads, technical specs, design docs, READMEs, or code comments — memos are session-reflection artifacts that capture what happened…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Writing Effective Session Memos
## Context
**Date:** !`date +%Y-%m-%d`
**Project:** !`basename $(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's/\.git$//' | xargs basename 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null || basename $(pwd)`
**Topics available for [[wikilinks]]:** !`ls $(memex path 2>/dev/null)/topics/*.md 2>/dev/null | xargs -I{} basename {} .md | sort | tr '\n' ' ' || echo "(no topics found)"`
## Core Principle
**You were there. A subagent reading the transcript later wasn't.** Your memo from full context will always be better than a reconstructed one. Write from experience, not summary.
Capture the **journey**, not just the destination. Future-Claude needs to understand:
- How things were discovered, not just what was found
- What was tried and failed, not just what worked
- What surprised you or was unexpectedly hard
- Where user and AI disagreed or changed direction
## Memo Format
```markdown
---
type: memo
title: [Specific, searchable title]
project: [project-name] # detected from cwd git root; set explicitly if writing from outside the project
date: [ISO date]
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add linxule/memex-plugin/memo-writing@sha256:fb04f2b7beb615d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.67d6693, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
