User manual for the mind-mem persistent memory CLI (`mm`). Use when an agent needs to recall prior decisions, tasks or project facts from a mind-mem workspace, pack memory into context, check workspace health, review governed proposals, install or troubleshoot mind-mem, or answer questions about how mind-mem works — from the shell, without MCP.

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

# mind-mem — CLI user manual

mind-mem is persistent, auditable memory for coding agents. Memory lives in a
**workspace**: plain Markdown files (`decisions/`, `tasks/`, `entities/`,
`memory/`, `intelligence/`) plus a local index. Writes are **governed**:
automated capture produces *signals* and *proposals*; nothing becomes an
active decision or task until it is reviewed and applied.

Everything below uses the `mm` command. It is the same engine the MCP server
uses, so a shell-only agent gets the same memory. This file is the table of
contents; open a reference file only when you need its detail.

## Before the first command

1. Is it installed? `mm --help` should print the command list. If not, see
   [references/install.md](references/install.md).
2. Which workspace? `mm` uses `$MIND_MEM_WORKSPACE`, or the current directory
   when that is unset. Check with:

   ```bash
   mm status
   ```

   `"exists": true` and `"config_exists": true` mean you are pointed at a real
   workspace. Exit code 1 means the directory does not exist.
3. Results print to **stdout** (mostly JSON). Structured logs go to
   **stderr** — add `2>/dev/null` before piping into a JSON parser.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add star-ga/mind-mem/mind-mem@sha256:9b5c98da9af7ce48

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.58ee5fd, 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.
