user-invocable: false

The Claude Code plugin registers lifecycle hooks so memory is captured automatically. You do not have to call `memory_save` for routine work; the hooks observe tool use, prompts, and session boundaries and write observations for you.

Quick start

Install the plugin and the hooks register themselves:

/plugin marketplace add rohitg00/agentmemory
/plugin install agentmemory

Watch observations land live at `http://localhost:3113`.

What the hooks do

  • Session start and end frame each unit of work and let `handoff` resume it.
  • Tool-use hooks capture what changed and why, the raw material for `recall` and `recap`.
  • Prompt-submit captures intent. Pre-compact preserves context before the host trims it.
  • A post-commit hook links commits to sessions, which powers `commit-context` and `commit-history`.

Important

  • Capture is on by default and is zero-LLM. Turning observations into LLM summaries (`AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS`) and injecting them back into context (`AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT`) are separate opt-ins because they spend tokens.
  • If observations are missing, confirm the plugin is enabled and the server is running. See ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

See also

  • agentmemory-config for the capture and injection flags.
  • The handoff, recap, and session-history skills consume what these hooks record.
