What it does
Search Memory is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Search your personal knowledge base when past insights would improve response. Recognize when stored breakthroughs, decisions, or solutions are relevant. Search proactively based on context, not just explicit requests.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Knowledge Management, covering Second brain. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Second brain
Example prompts
- “/search-memory”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Start with nmem --json m search for durable knowledge.
- Use nmem --json t search when the user is really asking about a prior conversation or exact session history.
- If a result includes source_thread, inspect it progressively with nmem --json t show --limit 8 --offset 0 --content-limit 1200.
- Prefer the smallest retrieval surface that answers the question.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0567734. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mem.nowledge.co
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
Search Memory loads about 531 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 265 words (~531 tokens).
