Initialize memory repository - clone git repo and create directory structure. Use when you need to set up pi-memory-md for the first time or initalize project's memory files.
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
## Overview
1. Run [scripts/memory-init.sh](scripts/memory-init.sh) to clone/sync repo and create directories
2. Read and copy template files from [templates/](templates/) (user decides which)
## Prerequisites
Before running this skill, ensure:
- Package installed: `pi install npm:pi-memory-md`
- Settings configured with `repoUrl` in your settings file
- Git repository created and accessible
## Execution Steps
### Step 1: Run Initialization Script
Execute the initialization script: [scripts/memory-init.sh](scripts/memory-init.sh)
The script will:
1. Read settings from `.pi/settings.json` or `$PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR/settings.json`
2. Calculate memory directories
3. Clone or sync the git repository
4. Create `core/project/`
### Step 2: Configure globalMemory (if applicable)
Read settings from `.pi/settings.json` or `$PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR/settings.json` and check for `globalMemory` configuration.
Then ask user whether they also want to create default global files under the configured `globalMemory` directory:
- `{globalMemory}/USER.md` from `user-template.md`
- `{globalMemory}/MEMORY.md` from `memory-template.md`
- `{globalMemory}/TASK.md` from `task-template.md`
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add vandeefeng/pi-memory-md/memory-init@sha256:d6f0997e40d080abThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260503.3606379, 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.
