At a glance

Stores a fact, preference or lesson verbatim in Mem0 through /mem0-remember and files it under a category such as preferences, decisions or goals.

  • Works in 4 steps: Extract the content → Classify the memory → Store → …
  • Saving a preference or decision so later sessions remember it
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Recording a lesson learned during debugging

What it does

You give the text as the argument to /mem0-remember, and the agent asks what to remember if nothing was supplied. It then picks a category from the wording: preferences for phrases like I prefer, decisions for we decided or always use, lessons for things learned or not to try, plus goals, work, routines, projects, relationships, identity and technical for setup and tooling. Lessons is the fallback for anything else.

The text is saved through the mem0_memory tool with the add action, word for word and without any inference. The agent then confirms with the category and the first 80 characters of the content, adding an ellipsis only when the text was cut.

When your agent uses it

  • Saving a preference or decision so later sessions remember it
  • Recording a lesson learned during debugging
  • Storing a goal or project note when someone says remember this

Example prompts

  • “Remember that we use pnpm instead of npm in this repo.”
  • “Save this: we decided to keep the API version in the URL path.”
  • “Note that I prefer short commit messages with no scope prefix.”

Requirements

  • Mem0, with the mem0_memory tool available for its add action

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Extract the content
  2. Classify the memory
  3. Store
  4. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c93420c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Mem0 Remember loads about 410 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~410

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
Stores a memory verbatim from user input with appropriate category classification. Use when the user says remember this, save this, store this, note that, or explicitly asks to record a preference, decision, goal, or lesson.

Remember

Store a fact, preference, or learning directly into Mem0.

Execution

Step 1: Extract the content

The user provides the content as an argument: /mem0-remember <text>

If no text was provided, ask: "What should I remember?"

Step 2: Classify the memory

Based on the content, pick the best category:

Content signalCategory
"I prefer...", "I like...", "use X instead of Y"preferences
"we decided...", "always use...", "never..."decisions
"I learned...", "figured out...", "don't try..."lessons
"my goal is...", "I want to...", "working toward..."goals
"I work at...", "my role is...", "my team..."work
"every day I...", "my workflow is..."routines
"I'm working on...", "the project involves..."projects
"John is...", "my manager...", "the team..."relationships
"my name is...", "I'm from...", "I studied..."identity
setup, tools, config, environmenttechnical
anything elselessons
Step 3: Store

Use the mem0_memory tool with:

  • action="add"
  • content="<the user's text>"

The /mem0-remember command stores verbatim — no inference. This is already handled by the command.

Step 4: Confirm
Remembered as <category>: "<content, first 80 chars>"

Append ... only if content was truncated (longer than 80 chars).
