This skill should be used when the user asks to "set up claude-mem", "pair claude-mem", "connect cmem", "add my cmem key", "set up cloud sync in Cowork", or provides cmem.ai Connect values (sync token, user id, SyncHub URL) for this plugin. Configures the claude-mem-cowork plugin credentials.

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

# Claude-Mem Setup (Cowork pairing)

Configure this plugin with the user's own cmem.ai credentials so hooks can
capture and inject memory. Anyone can pair — credentials are per-user
configuration, never hardcoded in plugin logic.

## What to collect

From **cmem.ai → Connect**, the user has three values:

1. **sync token** (starts with `cm_`) — used as the bearer API key
2. **user id** (UUID)
3. **SyncHub URL** (`https://sync.cmem.ai`)

If the user pastes the whole Connect blurb, extract the three values from it.
If any are missing, ask for the sync token at minimum — the other two are
optional.

## Secret handling — non-negotiable

- Never echo the token back in conversation, put it in a shell argv, or log it.
- Move it only via file writes (Write/Edit tool) and file reads.

## Steps

1. Locate the installed plugin root (this skill's own plugin). Update its
   `config.json`: set `apiKey` to the sync token, `userId`, and `syncHubUrl`.
   Leave other settings unless the user asks (`inject` toggles). Project naming
   is automatic (`cmem_work_*`) and is not configurable.
2. Cowork containers are ephemeral: edits to the installed copy last only for
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/mem-setup@sha256:7dc3d10da2115b84

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
