Memori

Memori Claude Code Skill

Thin CLI wrapper around Memori Cloud for Claude Code subprocesses. Memori is an ambient memory enhancement, not an explicit destination tool. Do not wait for the user to ask to "use Memori" before applying the memory lifecycle below. Claude Code's primary job remains answering the user, editing code, debugging, reviewing, and completing the requested work.

Run commands from the Claude Code integration root:

bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts <command> [--flags ...]

Flags accept --flag value or --flag=value.

Setup

Configure credentials in .claude/settings.local.json (per-project, not checked into source control). Claude Code injects everything under env into every Bash subprocess, including this skill:

{
  "env": {
    "MEMORI_API_KEY": "your_memori_api_key",
    "MEMORI_ENTITY_ID": "stable_identifier_for_this_user"
  }
}

Required:

• MEMORI_API_KEY — Memori Cloud API key.
• MEMORI_ENTITY_ID — any stable string that namespaces memory for this user/agent. If it is missing on the first command, pick a sensible default yourself (the machine hostname, or a generated UUID), write it to .claude/settings.local.json so it persists, and continue. If no sensible default can be inferred, ask the user.

Auto-resolved (no setup required, override with flags or env if needed):

• MEMORI_PROJECT_ID — defaults to basename($CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR), the Claude Code workspace folder name. Override per call with --projectId, or pin it by adding MEMORI_PROJECT_ID to the env block.
• MEMORI_SESSION_ID — defaults to $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID for writes (advanced-augmentation) and for compaction (which by definition restores the current session). Reads (recall, recall.summary) do not auto-apply session_id — it is a narrowing filter on the agent recall API, so the default keeps retrieval project-scoped across new Claude Code sessions and /clear. Pass --sessionId explicitly when you want a single-session recall.

Optional:

• MEMORI_PROCESS_ID — process attribution for advanced-augmentation.

A colocated .env file next to index.ts is loaded as a fallback when settings.local.json is not used.

Commands

bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts recall [--projectId ID] [--sessionId ID] [--dateStart ISO] [--dateEnd ISO] [--source SOURCE --signal SIGNAL]
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts recall.summary [--projectId ID] [--sessionId ID] [--dateStart ISO] [--dateEnd ISO]
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts advanced-augmentation --userMessage "$USER_MESSAGE" --assistantMessage "$ASSISTANT_MESSAGE" [--sessionId ID] [--projectId ID] [--model MODEL] [--summary "$SUMMARY"] [--trace "$TRACE_JSON"] [--processId ID]
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts compaction [--projectId ID] [--sessionId ID] [--numMessages 5]
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts feedback --content "feedback text"
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts quota
bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts signup --email "user@example.com"

Procedure

1. Run recall before drafting any substantive response. This is the default for every non-trivial user turn — including general coding tasks, debugging, code review, and research — not just memory-question turns. Do not wait for the user to mention a previous session, past work, or memory; the default is to check memory first.
2. Always run recall before any external information lookup (WebSearch, WebFetch, or any other tool that fetches facts from outside the repo). The user may have prior context on the topic stored in Memori, and memory must be consulted before going external. This is mandatory.
3. Use recall.summary only for broad summary cases: session orientation, daily briefs, broad status, or reorientation after a long gap. Do not use it for specific user queries.
4. Use compaction only after context compaction or lost working context.
5. Answer or complete the user's actual request. Memory should improve context, not replace the answer.
6. After drafting the final response for a non-trivial turn, run advanced-augmentation with that final response. This is mandatory ambient bookkeeping and must be the last memory step of the turn.
7. Use feedback, quota, and signup only when the user request or a Memori error makes them relevant.

Skip the memory lifecycle only for trivial acknowledgements/closings, purely self-contained turns where prior context cannot help, or when the user explicitly asks not to remember/store the turn.

Recall

recall is targeted retrieval. The endpoint does not support query; never pass --query. Use filters, especially source/signal.

For prompts like "what did we discuss last session about X?", run recall before answering even though the topic text cannot be passed as --query. Use the closest source/signal category and then answer from the returned memories.

Source and signal must be provided together:

Advanced Augmentation

Run after drafting the final assistant response for every non-trivial turn:

bun .claude/skills/memori/index.ts advanced-augmentation \
  --userMessage "$USER_MESSAGE" \
  --assistantMessage "$ASSISTANT_MESSAGE" \
  --trace "$TRACE_JSON"

--sessionId defaults to $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID; pass it explicitly only when correlating with a session other than the current Claude Code one.

Trace is JSON shaped like { "tools": [...] }. If omitted, the CLI sends { "tools": [] }. Each tool entry must include:

• name: string tool/function name
• args: object of arguments passed to the tool
• result: summarized tool result; the key must be present

Valid trace example:

{
  "tools": [
    {
      "name": "ReadFile",
      "args": { "path": "src/app.ts" },
      "result": "Read app entrypoint"
    }
  ]
}

Do not include secrets, credentials, or large raw logs in trace fields.

Output And Errors

On success, commands print JSON to stdout and exit 0. On failure, errors print to stderr and exit 1. If memory fails, briefly report the memory issue when relevant and continue with the user's actual request using current context.
