description: Save an insight, decision, or learning to agentmemory's long-term storage with searchable concept tags. Use when the user says "remember this", "save this", "note that", "don't forget", or wants to preserve knowledge for future sessions.

The user wants to save this to long-term memory: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

memory_save {
  "content": "We rotate JWT refresh tokens on every use; the old token is revoked server-side in auth/refresh.ts.",
  "concepts": "jwt-refresh-rotation, token-revocation, auth-flow",
  "files": "src/auth/refresh.ts"
}

Expected output:

Saved memory abc12345 with 3 concepts: jwt-refresh-rotation, token-revocation, auth-flow.

Why

A memory is only as useful as the terms that retrieve it. Tag with specific concepts so a future `recall` finds it, and preserve the user's own phrasing.

Workflow

1. Pull the core insight, decision, or fact out of `$ARGUMENTS`. 2. Extract 2-5 lowercased concept phrases. Prefer specific over generic (`jwt-refresh-rotation` beats `auth`). 3. Extract referenced file paths (absolute or repo-relative). Empty if none. 4. Call `memory_save` with `content`, `concepts` (comma-separated string), and `files` (comma-separated string). In a multi-agent setup pass `agentId` so the memory lands in the right agent's scope. 5. Confirm the save and echo the concepts so the user knows the retrieval terms. 6. To update a fact, save the corrected version outright: near-duplicate content supersedes the old record, which leaves recall but stays in the version chain.

Anti-patterns

WRONG: `concepts: "stuff, code, notes"` (generic tags nothing can find later).

RIGHT: `concepts: "jwt-refresh-rotation, token-revocation"` (specific, retrievable).

Checklist

• Content preserves the user's phrasing, not a paraphrase.
• Concepts are specific, lowercased, 2-5 items.
• File paths are real references, not guesses.
• Confirmation echoes the exact concepts tagged.

• `recall`: retrieve what you save here (the pair to this skill).
• `forget`: remove a memory you saved by mistake.
• `lesson`: behavioral rules from corrections; memories are for facts.

Troubleshooting
