MemPalace Memory Search
MemPalace/mempalace
Mines project files and conversation exports into a local, searchable memory palace and recalls past work by semantic search through the mempalace CLI.
Files a GSD phase artifact into MemPalace and mirrors its decision facts into the temporal knowledge graph, as a best-effort step that never blocks a phase.

gsd-mempalace-captureFiles a GSD phase artifact into MemPalace and mirrors its decision facts into the temporal knowledge graph, as a best-effort step that never blocks a phase.
At the end of a discuss, plan or verify phase, this step files the matching artifact (CONTEXT.md, PLAN.md or SUMMARY.md) into a MemPalace room: decisions, planning or milestones. It first reads .planning/config.json and stops quietly unless the mempalace setting is enabled and artifact capture is not turned off. The wing comes from the config, the project code or the repo directory name.
Filing is verbatim and idempotent: it checks for duplicates by a deterministic drawer ID in interactive runs and relies on the miner's content hashing in headless runs, using MemPalace MCP tools when registered and the mempalace CLI otherwise. Any error or timeout ends the step so the phase carries on. Confirmed problem-and-fix pairs belong to a separate capture step at execute time. The skill needs Read, Bash and Grep access and is meant to run from the command system, which supplies its arguments.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d987cc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashGrepFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
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.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mempalaceofficial.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
GSD MemPalace Capture loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, GrepAutomated 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.

Prefer MCP (mempalace_*) when your MemPalace MCP server is registered and your runtime permits those tools; otherwise use the mempalace CLI (covered by this skill's Bash allow-tool), as in mempalace-recall.On any error or timeout, stop and let the phase continue -- capture is best-effort.
Dedup first. Interactive: mempalace_check_duplicate on the artifact's deterministic drawer id. Headless: rely on mempalace mine's content-hash idempotency.
Add the drawer (verbatim). File the exact artifact text into room: <room> of wing: <wing> with provenance (source_file, phase id). Interactive: mempalace_add_drawer. Headless: see below.
mempalace mine has no --room flag — only search accepts --room (CLI reference: https://mempalaceofficial.com/reference/cli.html). Room assignment is driven by detect_room() matching folder-path segments against the rooms: list in mempalace.yaml (mining guide: https://mempalaceofficial.com/guide/mining.html — "Rooms are auto-detected from your folder structure"; config reference: https://mempalaceofficial.com/guide/configuration.html). Stage the artifact under a room-named folder so detect_room() assigns it correctly:
STAGE=".planning/.mempalace-stage"
# One-time: declare the GSD room taxonomy so detect_room() recognizes these folders
mkdir -p "$STAGE"
[ -f "$STAGE/mempalace.yaml" ] || cat > "$STAGE/mempalace.yaml" <<'YAML'
# Each entry MUST be a dict with a `name` key (the miner's detect_room()
# indexes room["name"] — a bare-string list crashes _mine_impl with
# TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'). Optional fields:
# `description`, `keywords` (matched against folder-path segments).

Under augment these are an additive mirror of GSD's native .planning/graphs/. Under kg_backend/replace the palace KG is the authoritative fact store — GSD still produces .planning/graphs/ through its normal graphify, so an unreachable palace never loses a fact.
Re-running a phase MUST NOT create duplicate drawers (deterministic ids + check_duplicate).
