Search conversation history and semantic memory to recall previous discussions, decisions, and context.

  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Core Behavior, Commands and Search Modes, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls git; reaches github.com

What it does

Memory Search is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Search conversation history and semantic memory to recall previous discussions, decisions, and context. Use when the user asks to "search memory", "what did we discuss", "remember when", "find previous conversation", "check history", or before starting work to recall prior decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to search memory
  • What did we discuss
  • Find previous conversation
  • Before starting work to recall prior decisions

Example prompts

  • “search memory”
  • “what did we discuss”
  • “remember when”
  • “/memory-search”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Memory Search loads about 658 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~658

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Search conversation history and semantic memory to recall previous discussions, decisions, and context. Use when the user asks to "search memory", "what did we discuss", "remember when", "find previous conversation", "check history", or before starting work to recall prior decisions.

Search your conversation history using semantic, keyword, and symbol matching. Recall past decisions, discussions, and context across sessions. Part of the AI Maestro suite.

Prerequisites

Requires AI Maestro running locally. Memory indexing uses CozoDB for vector search.

bash
# 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

CommandDescription
memory-search.sh "<query>"Hybrid search (recommended)
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode semanticFind conceptually related
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode termExact text matching
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode symbolCode symbol matching
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role userOnly user messages
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role assistantOnly assistant messages

Search Modes

ModeBest For
hybrid (default)General search, most cases
semanticRelated concepts, different wording
termExact function/class names
symbolCode identifiers across contexts

Usage Examples

bash
# 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:

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