Check whether Nowledge Mem is reachable from Proma, including MCP status, CLI fallback, API URL, and configuration issues after install or update.

  • Works in 7 steps: MCP tools available? — Look for… → Server reachable? — nmem status should… → API key configured? — Check… → …

  • Calls python3 and pip; needs NMEM_API_KEY

What it does

Status is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Check whether Nowledge Mem is reachable from Proma, including MCP status, CLI fallback, API URL, and configuration issues after install or update.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/status”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in NMEM_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. MCP tools available? — Look for mcpnowledge-mem* in available tools
  2. Server reachable? — nmem status should show status: ok
  3. API key configured? — Check ~/.nowledge-mem/config.json or NMEM_API_KEY env var
  4. mcp.json correct? — Check ~/.proma/agent-workspaces/default/mcp.json; top-level key must be "servers" (not "mcpServers"), type must be…
  5. Hooks configured? — Check ~/.proma/sdk-config/.claude/settings.json for SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, and Stop hooks
  6. Hook scripts present? — Verify ~/.proma/scripts/save-to-nmem.py and ~/.proma/scripts/read-working-memory.py exist
  7. Startup context written? — Check ~/.proma/agent-workspaces/default/CLAUDE.md for the nowledge-mem:start block

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NMEM_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Status loads about 509 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~509

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 200 words (~509 tokens).

“Check Nowledge Mem connection status and configuration for Proma.”
