name: save-knowledge
description: "Save a single piece of brand knowledge — a campaign learning, guideline, competitive finding, performance insight, or approved asset — to the persistent memory layer with SHA-256 deduplication, auto-suggested tags, provenance tracking, priority, and optional expiration. Stores via a connected vector-DB MCP (e.g. Pinecone) when one exists, otherwise in the always-available local index; no memory backend is bundled by default. Triggers on \"/digital-marketing-pro:save-knowledge\", \"remember this for next time\", \"save that email analysis we just did\", \"store this competitor intel\", \"keep this learning about subject lines\". Pairs with /digital-marketing-pro:search-knowledge for retrieval and /digital-marketing-pro:sync-memory for bulk session syncing."

/digital-marketing-pro:save-knowledge

Purpose

Save brand knowledge to the persistent memory layer (a vector database you've connected — for example Pinecone via `@pinecone-database/mcp`) for semantic retrieval in future sessions. Stores campaign learnings, competitive intelligence, brand guidelines, and performance insights with proper metadata tagging so that valuable knowledge is never lost between sessions. Every stored item is content-hashed for deduplication, tagged with brand context, and indexed for natural language search — turning ad-hoc learnings into durable institutional memory that every agent can draw from. Designed for targeted, intentional knowledge capture — for bulk session syncing, use `/digital-marketing-pro:sync-memory` instead.

Input Required

The user must provide (or will be prompted for):

• **Content to store**: The knowledge to save — can be plain text typed directly, a reference to content in the current conversation (e.g., "save that email analysis we just did"), structured data from a campaign report or audit, or a URL to external research. Content is stored as-is with optional summarization for the index entry
• **Content type**: One of: `guideline` (brand rules, voice standards, style restrictions), `campaign-learning` (what worked or failed in a campaign with supporting evidence), `competitive-intel` (competitor findings, positioning, pricing, strategy moves), `performance-insight` (metrics, benchmarks, trends, statistical patterns), or `brand-asset` (approved copy, templates, creative references, messaging frameworks)
• **Tags**: Descriptive tags for filtered retrieval — e.g., "email", "q4-2025", "subject-lines", "audience-millennials", "paid-social", "black-friday". If not provided, auto-suggested based on content analysis using brand context, industry taxonomy, and channel detection. Multiple tags encouraged for richer retrieval
• **Source context**: Where this knowledge originated — current session analysis, imported report, campaign retrospective, external research, competitor monitoring, or team input. Used for provenance tracking, credibility weighting during retrieval, and audit trail compliance
• **Priority (optional)**: `high` (surface this knowledge proactively in relevant contexts), `normal` (standard retrieval weight), or `low` (archive-grade, retrieve only on direct queries). Default is `normal`
• **Expiration (optional)**: Date after which this knowledge should be flagged as potentially stale — useful for time-sensitive competitive intel, seasonal campaign data, or pricing information that changes quarterly. No default (knowledge persists indefinitely unless expired)
• **Related entries (optional)**: References to existing stored knowledge this entry connects to — enables knowledge graph linking and richer cross-reference retrieval

Process

1. **Load brand context**: Read `~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json` for the active slug, then load `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/profile.json`. Apply brand voice, compliance rules for target markets (`skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md`), and industry context. Also check for guidelines at `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/_manifest.json` — if present, load restrictions. Check for agency SOPs at `~/.claude-marketing/sops/`. If no brand exists, ask: "Set up a brand first (/digital-marketing-pro:brand-setup)?" — or proceed with defaults. 2. **Prepare content for storage**: Run `memory-manager.py --action prepare-store` with `content_type`, `tags`, and source context. The script normalizes the content, generates a SHA-256 content hash, structures the metadata payload (brand_slug, content_type, tags, source, timestamp, priority, expiration), and validates that all required fields are present. If tags were not provided, auto-generate them from content analysis. 3. **Check for duplicates**: Compare the content hash against the local index at `~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/memory/`. If a match exists, report the duplicate — show the existing entry's tags, date, and summary — and offer to update its metadata (add new tags, refresh timestamp, change priority) rather than creating a duplicate. If no match, proceed to storage. 4. **Check configured memory services**: Run `python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory-manager.py" --brand {slug} --action get-memory-status`. Note: this inspects **environment variables only** (e.g. whether `PINECONE_API_KEY` is set) — it does NOT open a live connection, and it does NOT measure storage capacity or index health. Treat its output as "which backends are configured," not "which backends are reachable." If no vector-DB env var is set, store locally and recommend connecting a vector DB for cross-session access. 5. **Store via vector database MCP (only if one is connected)**: DMP does not bundle a memory MCP — nothing is connected by default. If you have a working vector-DB MCP server connected (e.g. Pinecone), send the prepared payload to it for embedding and storage with all metadata. If you also have a working cross-session memory server connected, sync the entry there; if you have a working knowledge-graph server connected an
