At a glance
Builds focused knowledge corpora from claude-mem observations, loads them into an AI session and answers questions about past work.
- Works in 4 steps: Build a corpus → Prime the corpus → Query → …
- Compiling everything the agent has learned about one topic into a queryable corpus
- SKILL.md covers What Are Knowledge Agents?, Workflow, Tips and Maintenance
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
A knowledge agent is a filtered set of recorded observations compiled into a conversational AI session, such as everything about hooks or all bugfixes for one service. `build_corpus` creates it and can filter by project, observation types such as decision, bugfix or feature, concept tags, file paths, a semantic query or a date range, with a default cap of 500 observations.
`prime_corpus` loads the corpus into a session, `query_corpus` answers questions and keeps context across follow-ups, and `list_corpora` shows each corpus with its stats and priming status. For upkeep, `rebuild_corpus` refreshes a corpus with new observations and `reprime_corpus` clears earlier questions and starts a fresh session. The tips are to keep corpora narrow, prime once and query many times, and rebuild then reprime after new observations arrive.
When your agent uses it
- Compiling everything the agent has learned about one topic into a queryable corpus
- Asking about past decisions or bugfixes recorded for a project
- Refreshing a corpus after new observations were added
Example prompts
- “Build a corpus called hooks-expertise from the claude-mem project's observations about hooks.”
- “Prime the hooks-expertise corpus and ask when each lifecycle hook fires.”
- “Rebuild and reprime the hooks-expertise corpus now that new observations were added.”
Requirements

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71ddd11. 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
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
Claude-Mem Knowledge Agent loads about 617 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 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.

Knowledge Agent
Build and query AI-powered knowledge bases from claude-mem observations.
What Are Knowledge Agents?
Knowledge agents are filtered corpora of observations compiled into a conversational AI session. Build a corpus from your observation history, prime it (loads the knowledge into an AI session), then ask it questions conversationally.
Think of them as custom "brains": "everything about hooks", "all decisions from the last month", "all bugfixes for the worker service".
Workflow
Step 1: Build a corpus
build_corpus name="hooks-expertise" description="Everything about the hooks lifecycle" project="claude-mem" concepts="hooks" limit=500Filter options:
project— filter by project nametypes— comma-separated: decision, bugfix, feature, refactor, discovery, changeconcepts— comma-separated concept tagsfiles— comma-separated file paths (prefix match)query— semantic search querydateStart/dateEnd— ISO date rangelimit— max observations (default 500)
Step 2: Prime the corpus
prime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"This creates an AI session loaded with all the corpus knowledge. Takes a moment for large corpora.
Step 3: Query
query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="What are the 5 lifecycle hooks and when does each fire?"The knowledge agent answers from its corpus. Follow-up questions maintain context.
Step 4: List corpora
list_corporaShows all corpora with stats and priming status.
Tips
- Focused corpora work best — "hooks architecture" beats "everything ever"
- Prime once, query many times — the session persists across queries
- Reprime for fresh context — if the conversation drifts, reprime to reset
- Rebuild to update — when new observations are added, rebuild then reprime
Maintenance
Rebuild a corpus (refresh with new observations)
rebuild_corpus name="hooks-expertise"After rebuilding, reprime to load the updated knowledge:
Reprime (fresh session)
reprime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"Clears prior Q&A context and reloads the corpus into a new session.
