What it does

Onboard is an agent skill from ThinkfleetAI/memmesh. Set up MemMesh for a new project — verify the MCP server is wired, pick local vs hosted, import any existing project knowledge (MEMORY.md, CLAUDE.md, a mem0 export), and seed initial scopes. Use on first run in a repo, when the API key changes, or to re-run setup after config changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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 Agent instruction files. It works with Mem0 and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Persistent, self-improving memory for AI agents. Local-first Rust memory engine with MCP support. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/onboard”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in MEMMESH_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify wiring
  2. Local or hosted?
  3. Seed existing knowledge
  4. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bba48f8. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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:

    • MEMMESH_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Onboard loads about 357 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~357

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.

Get a project ready to use MemMesh.

1. Verify wiring

bash
memmesh doctor        # binary + MCP config + skill presence

If the MCP server isn't connected, run npx @thinkfleet/memmesh install (see the memmesh-cli skill), then re-check.

2. Local or hosted?

  • Local (default): SQLite, no key, offline. Good for dev tools.
  • Hosted: set MEMMESH_API_KEY / sync.url in ~/.thinkfleet-memory/config.toml. Needed for cross-device sync, the full SDK, and server-side prediction/verticals.

3. Seed existing knowledge

If the repo already has durable context, import it (see the import skill): MEMORY.md, CLAUDE.md, an ADR folder, or a mem0 export (then consider memmesh-migrate for a full switch). Feed each item via memory_observe so the engine extracts + builds the graph, scoped project.

4. Confirm

Run stats to show what's now in scope, and remind the user of the two-rule loop: the agent will observe their messages and recall at session start automatically (the always-on memmesh skill). Nothing else to configure.
