At a glance

Describes the lifecycle hooks in the agentmemory Claude Code plugin that record observations automatically, and what to check when observations go missing.

  • Explaining how agentmemory records observations without manual saves
  • SKILL.md covers Quick start, What the hooks do, Important and See also, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Debugging missing observations in an agentmemory setup

What it does

The plugin registers hooks so routine work is captured without calling memory_save. Session start and end frame each unit of work so handoff can resume it, tool-use hooks record what changed and why, prompt-submit captures intent, pre-compact preserves context before the host trims it, and a post-commit hook links commits to sessions for commit-context and commit-history. Installing the plugin registers them, and observations can be watched live in a local viewer on port 3113.

Capture is on by default and does not call an LLM. Turning observations into LLM summaries (AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS) and injecting them back into context (AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT) are separate opt-ins because they spend tokens. When observations are missing, the first checks are that the plugin is enabled and the server is running, and the exact hook events are listed in REFERENCE.md.

When your agent uses it

  • Explaining how agentmemory records observations without manual saves
  • Debugging missing observations in an agentmemory setup
  • Deciding whether to enable summaries or context injection

Example prompts

  • “Why aren't my observations showing up in agentmemory?”
  • “Which hooks does the agentmemory plugin register, and what does each one capture?”
  • “Turn on automatic summaries for captured observations and explain the token cost.”

Requirements

  • The agentmemory plugin installed in Claude Code
  • A running agentmemory server

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 007a1a7. 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

Agentmemory Capture Hooks loads about 444 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~444

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.

description
The agentmemory plugin hooks that capture observations automatically across the agent session lifecycle. Use when explaining how memory gets captured without manual saves, when debugging missing observations, or when tuning what gets recorded.
user-invocable
false

The Claude Code plugin registers lifecycle hooks so memory is captured automatically. You do not have to call memory_save for routine work; the hooks observe tool use, prompts, and session boundaries and write observations for you.

Quick start

Install the plugin and the hooks register themselves:

bash
/plugin marketplace add rohitg00/agentmemory
/plugin install agentmemory

Watch observations land live at http://localhost:3113.

What the hooks do

  • Session start and end frame each unit of work and let handoff resume it.
  • Tool-use hooks capture what changed and why, the raw material for recall and recap.
  • Prompt-submit captures intent. Pre-compact preserves context before the host trims it.
  • A post-commit hook links commits to sessions, which powers commit-context and commit-history.

Important

  • Capture is on by default and is zero-LLM. Turning observations into LLM summaries (AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS) and injecting them back into context (AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT) are separate opt-ins because they spend tokens.
  • If observations are missing, confirm the plugin is enabled and the server is running. See ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

See also

  • agentmemory-config for the capture and injection flags.
  • The handoff, recap, and session-history skills consume what these hooks record.

Reference
