At a glance

Copies each Claude Code memory file write to Open Brain through an MCP tool so memories reach other AI clients and devices.

  • Works in 3 steps: Write the memory to its local file as… → Update MEMORY.md index as normal → Immediately after each memory file…
  • Claude Code saves a memory file and you want it available in other AI clients
  • SKILL.md covers Problem, Trigger Conditions, Process and Output, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Claude Code's auto-memory saves memories to local files under `.claude/projects/*/memory/`, where only that machine's Claude Code can see them. This skill adds a step after each such write: the agent saves the file and updates the `MEMORY.md` index as usual, then immediately calls `mcp__open-brain__capture_thought` with the memory content, prefixed with its type in brackets such as feedback and with the project name when relevant.

Guard rails keep it tidy: the `MEMORY.md` index is never captured, updated memories are captured again and left to Open Brain to deduplicate through embeddings, a failed capture never blocks the local save and is only noted, and anything the memory system says not to save is not sent either. Triggers include memory writes, autodream or dreaming, `/memory` and requests like remember this. Other clients capture directly, so the skill is specific to Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Claude Code saves a memory file and you want it available in other AI clients
  • Keeping memories in sync across several devices
  • Using autodream or explicit remember-this requests together with Open Brain

Example prompts

  • “Remember that we don't mock the database in integration tests, and sync it to Open Brain.”
  • “Save this preference to memory and capture it in Open Brain too.”
  • “Run autodream and make sure the new memories reach Open Brain.”

Requirements

  • An Open Brain MCP server that exposes `capture_thought`
  • Claude Code's auto-memory directory

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Write the memory to its local file as normal (following the standard memory system format with frontmatter)
  2. Update MEMORY.md index as normal
  3. Immediately after each memory file write, call mcpopen-braincapture_thought with the memory content

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238df6c. 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

Autodream Brain Sync loads about 705 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~705

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 307 words (~705 tokens).

“Claude Code's auto-memory system (dreaming/autodream) saves memories to local files under .claude/projects/*/memory/. These files are only accessible to Claude Code on the same machine. If you use multiple AI clients (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Codex) or multiple devices, those memories are…”
