It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

mem-search

Layered workflow. Do not dump full observations until IDs are filtered, and do not reach for raw tool bodies until the summaries came up short.

1. `search(query)` — index with IDs 2. `timeline(anchor=ID)` — nearby context 3. `get_observations(ids=[...])` — full details for those IDs only 4. `get_tool_uses(ids=[...])` — the ORIGINAL `tool_input` / `tool_response` for specific tool calls. Last resort: these are unsummarized and can run to thousands of tokens each.

Stamp `platformSource` as `cursor` or `grok-bot` on writes for this host. When reading, do not drop the other host unless asked.

If MCP is missing, run the install skill first (`npx claude-mem install --ide <host>`).
