Install Memory Search

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill memory-search

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads memory-search when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the memory-search skill”. In Codex, type $memory-search.

# Install memory tools
git clone https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro-plugins.git
cd ai-maestro-plugins && ./install-memory-tools.sh

Core Behavior

Before starting any task, search memory for relevant context:

Receive instruction -> Search memory -> Then proceed

Commands

Command Description
memory-search.sh "<query>" Hybrid search (recommended)
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode semantic Find conceptually related
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode term Exact text matching
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode symbol Code symbol matching
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role user Only user messages
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role assistant Only assistant messages

Search Modes

Mode Best For
hybrid (default) General search, most cases
semantic Related concepts, different wording
term Exact function/class names
symbol Code identifiers across contexts

Usage Examples

# User asks to continue previous work
memory-search.sh "authentication"

# Find a specific component discussion
memory-search.sh "PaymentService" --mode term

# Find related design discussions
memory-search.sh "error handling patterns" --mode semantic

# Find code symbol references
memory-search.sh "processPayment" --mode symbol

Combining with Other Skills

For complete context, pair with docs-search and graph-query:

memory-search.sh "feature"       # What did we discuss?
docs-search.sh "feature"         # What do docs say?
graph-describe.sh ComponentName  # What is the structure?
