Use this when the user asks to search memory, "did we already solve this?", "how did we do X last time?", or wants work from previous sessions.

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

# 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. `get_observations(ids=[...])` — full details for those IDs only
4. `get_tool_uses(ids=[...])` — the ORIGINAL `tool_input` / `tool_response` for specific tool calls. Last resort: these are unsummarized and can run to thousands of tokens each.

The worker also live-writes a growing ID INDEX to `agents/<this-seat-uuid>/memory/log/zz-claude-mem-inject.md` (host Memory mid-attach). Use those IDs with `get_observations`. Thin seat diaries are filled from newest house observations. Disable with `CLAUDE_MEM_GROK_BOT_INJECT_ENABLED=false`.

Stamp `platformSource` as `cursor` or `grok-bot` on writes for this host. When reading, do not drop the other host unless asked.

If MCP is missing, run the install skill first (`npx claude-mem install --ide <host>`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/mem-search@sha256:20a89ffcb406a7d5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.96f04a9, 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.
