agentMemory Skill

When to Use

Use this skill when you need a hybrid memory system that provides persistent, searchable knowledge management for AI agents.

This skill extends your capabilities by providing a persistent, searchable memory bank that automatically syncs with project documentation.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed
• Check if `agentMemory` is already installed in the project:

  ls -la .agentMemory

Setup

1. **Install Dependencies**:

   npm install

2. **Build the Project**:

   npm run compile

3. **Start the Memory Server**: You need to run the MCP server to interact with the memory bank.

   npm run start-server <project_id> <absolute_path_to_workspace>

*Note: This skill typically runs as a background process or via an mcp-server configuration. ensuring it is running is key.*

Capabilities (MCP Tools)

Once the server is running, you can use these tools:

`memory_search`

Search for memories by query, type, or tags.

• **Args**: `query` (string), `type?` (string), `tags?` (string[])
• **Usage**: "Find all authentication patterns" -> `memory_search({ query: "authentication", type: "pattern" })`

`memory_write`

Record new knowledge or decisions.

• **Args**: `key` (string), `type` (string), `content` (string), `tags?` (string[])
• **Usage**: "Save this architecture decision" -> `memory_write({ key: "auth-v1", type: "decision", content: "..." })`

`memory_read`

Retrieve specific memory content by key.

• **Args**: `key` (string)
• **Usage**: "Get the auth design" -> `memory_read({ key: "auth-v1" })`

`memory_stats`

View analytics on memory usage.

• **Usage**: "Show memory statistics" -> `memory_stats({})`

Workflow

1. **Initialization**: The first time you run this in a project, it may attempt to import existing markdown memory banks from `.kilocode/`, `.clinerules/`, or `.roo/`. 2. **Development Loop**:

• **Before Task**: Search memory for relevant context.
• **During Task**: Use read/search to answer questions.
• **After Task**: Write new findings to memory.

3. **Sync**: Your writes are automatically synced to standard markdown files in the project.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
• Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
• Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
