Universal protocol for total-agent-memory MCP server. Activate at session start, before any non-trivial task, after every significant action, on errors, and at session end. Relevant whenever the user mentions: memory, recall, past context, decisions history, conventions, lessons learned, "продолжаем", "сохранись", "resume", or any reference to prior sessions / cross-session knowledge. Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Aider, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and any…

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

# Memory Protocol — Universal Skill

You have access to a persistent cross-session memory via the
**total-agent-memory** MCP server (60+ tools). Knowledge survives between
sessions and is shared across agents working on the same project.

This skill is **universal** — the same MCP tools, the same triggers, the
same templates work in every supported environment (Claude Code, Codex,
Cursor, Cline, Continue, Aider, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, OpenCode). Hooks
and sub-agents are environment-specific and documented separately
(see `references/hooks-explained.md` and `references/ide-setup.md`).

## The five non-negotiables

1. **Session start → `session_init` first, then `memory_recall`.** Always.
   Skip only if you have already called `session_init` in this session.
2. **Before any non-trivial task → `memory_recall(query, project)`.** Use
   the recipe instead of guessing the convention.
3. **After every significant action → `memory_save` immediately.** Don't
   batch. A decision, a fix, a new convention — one save per fact, not
   one save per session.
4. **On error / bash non-zero / stuck → `learn_error` (or `self_error_log`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vbcherepanov/total-agent-memory/memory-protocol@sha256:3e1238a16d28d620

The line at the top of this page pins the label v10.5.0, 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.
