causal-memory SKILL.md skillA
causal-memory from jingxuanc/causal-memory is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jingxuanc/causal-memory/causal-memory@v1.1Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Causal memory for agents — install/setup the causal-memory MCP server, then record decisions/outcomes and recall them before acting. Trigger when the user asks to install or set up causal-memory/agent memory, when causal-memory MCP tools are available and the agent faces a non-trivial decision (architecture, debugging approach, library/deployment choice), when something fails unexpectedly, or when the user asks to "remember" something.
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
# Causal Memory
Causal memory records your past decisions and their outcomes as causal edges,
so you learn from experience across sessions and survive context compaction.
This skill has two parts:
- **§1 Setup** — when the `record_decision` / `search_causal` MCP tools are
NOT available yet: install and configure them yourself.
- **§2 Usage** — once the tools exist: the proactive recall/record loop.
## 1. Setup (do this yourself, then tell the user to restart the client)
1. **Install the package** (ships the full CLI as `causal-memory` on PATH):
```bash
pip install causal-memory # or: pipx install causal-memory
causal-memory --help | head -5 # verify the console script works
```
2. **Register it as an MCP server** in the user's client. Bare
`causal-memory` runs the stdio MCP server; the only env worth setting is
`CAUSAL_MEMORY_DB` (SQLite location, default `~/.causal-memory/causal.db`).
- **Claude Code** (CLI does the config for you):
```bash
claude mcp add causal-memory -- causal-memory
```
- **Cursor** — edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (merge into `mcpServers`):
```json

How to install
mdr add jingxuanc/causal-memory/causal-memory@sha256:5dc051ceeb8ad4fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
