Maintains a structured running-notes document during long work sessions. Use when the user says "session notes", "update notes", "start session notes", "show session notes", or when you recognize the current session has accumulated enough state (decisions, corrections, files touched, errors) that it risks being lost under context pressure. Stores notes as a procedure memory tagged [session-memory, active] so they survive container death within the same session thread.
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
# Session Memory - Running Notes Maintain a single structured markdown document that tracks what is happening **right now** in the current work session. This is within-session continuity, distinct from `remember()` (cross-session semantic memory) and `stash` (coarse checkpoint). ## When to Use Invoke on any of these triggers: - User says "session notes", "update notes", "start session notes", "show session notes", "note the session", "write it down" - User indicates they want continuity across context compression: "before you forget", "write that down", "for when context gets compressed" - You have independently completed a meaningful block of work (file edits, a bugfix, a design choice, a reversal after correction) and no note has been updated for a while Do NOT invoke for: - One-off answers with no follow-up - Cross-session persistence — that's `remember()` - Coarse checkpoints intended for another session to resume — that's `stash` ## Template (Fixed Sections) Every session note uses exactly these sections, in this order, with these headers. **Preserve the structure on every update. Never rename or reorder …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/session-memory@sha256:39887989eb688c0fThe 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.
