What it does
Search Memory is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Search Nowledge Mem memories and threads from Proma when the user references past work, prior decisions, recurring problems, or project history.
Its SKILL.md is about 410 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 Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.
When your agent uses it
- References past work
- Prior decisions
- Recurring problems
- Project history
Example prompts
- “/search-memory”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Start with mcpnowledge-memsearch_memories for distilled knowledge
- Fall back to mcpnowledge-memsearch_threads for conversation history
- If MCP tools unavailable, use CLI: nmem --json m search "" --mode deep
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 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 (its code samples are bash).
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
Search Memory loads about 406 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 157 words (~406 tokens).
“Search your Nowledge Mem knowledge base proactively when past insights would improve the response.”
