What it does

Nowledge Mem is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Search, save, and manage knowledge across all your AI tools through Nowledge Mem.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: =3.12

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/nowledge-mem”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): >=3.12
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mem.search, mem.save, mem.context, mem.connections, mem.timeline, mem.forget, mem.threads, mem.thread, mem.status

Workflow steps

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

  1. From a memory: mem.search returns source_thread_id → mem.thread
  2. Direct search: mem.threads finds conversations by keyword → mem.thread

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f4d7eb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mem.search
    • mem.save
    • mem.context
    • mem.connections
    • mem.timeline
    • mem.forget
    • mem.threads
    • mem.thread
    • mem.status

    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.

  • Compatibility

    >=3.12

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Nowledge Mem loads about 698 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~698

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.

Nowledge Mem — Cross-Tool Knowledge for Bub

You have access to the user's personal knowledge graph through Nowledge Mem. This graph contains knowledge from all their AI tools — decisions from Claude Code, preferences from Cursor, insights from ChatGPT, and more — not just this Bub session. Knowledge you save here will be available in their other tools too.

Recognise these signals and call mem.search before answering:

  • Continuity — the user references something from a previous session or another tool
  • Decision recall — "what did we decide about…", "why did we choose…"
  • Pattern match — the current topic overlaps with past work in any tool
  • Implicit recall — the user assumes you know something you haven't seen this session

Search both memories and threads. When a memory has source_thread_id, fetch the full conversation with mem.thread for deeper context.

When to save

Call mem.save when durable knowledge appears:

  • Decisions — compared options and chose one
  • Learnings — debugging revealed something non-obvious
  • Preferences — user stated how they want things done
  • Plans — concrete next steps agreed on
  • Procedures — repeatable workflow documented

Skip: routine fixes, work-in-progress, simple Q&A, generic info.

Guidelines:

  • Atomic and actionable — one idea per memory
  • Title is a short summary, content is the detail
  • 0–3 labels per memory (project names, topics)
  • Importance: 0.8–1.0 critical | 0.5–0.7 useful | 0.1–0.4 minor
  • Save proactively when the value is durable; do not wait for the user to ask.

Context Bundle

mem.context returns Nowledge Mem's Context Bundle: owner identity, resolved AI Identity, active scope, active rules, and Working Memory. Read it at the start of a session when identity, scope, or rules matter. If the installed nmem is older, the tool falls back to the lightweight Working Memory briefing.

Thread retrieval

Two paths into past conversations:

  1. From a memory: mem.search returns source_thread_id → mem.thread
  2. Direct search: mem.threads finds conversations by keyword → mem.thread

Use offset for pagination on long threads.

Graph exploration

mem.connections shows how a memory relates to other knowledge: related topics, EVOLVES chains (how understanding changed over time), and source document provenance.

mem.timeline shows recent activity grouped by day.
