Discover prior agent work across sessions, projects, providers, and machines. Use for historical investigations and analogous solutions, or as a fallback when native conversation and history tools cannot recover the needed evidence.

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

# Memex Search

Recover the smallest set of source-grounded records that answers the question.
For the current task, use native notes/history and the worklog first. Read known
Codex or ChatGPT conversations with native conversation tools when available.
Use Memex for broader discovery or when those sources are unavailable or insufficient.

## Choose the retrieval depth

When Memex MCP tools are available, use them for the same workflow below instead
of shell commands: `search`, `sessions`, `show`, `context`, `session`, and `hydrate`.
MCP search returns compact structured JSON and defaults to session diversity;
CLI search still prefers TOON. Use `additional_queries` for multiple search views
and `machines` for search scope; read tools take one `machine`. Sessions are local
and do not auto-index. Preserve the same identifiers, evidence standards, shared
content budgets, and field/page continuations described below. MCP reads are
always bounded; hydrate takes a `requests` array instead of a JSONL file.

Silently identify the target fact or episode, repository/source/machine/time scope,
exact anchors, and what evidence would be sufficient. For analogous work, also

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nicosuave/memex/memex-search@sha256:24a22c392b6b3657

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.5100fec, 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.
