Agent Memory Skill
This skill provides a persistent, searchable memory bank that automatically syncs with project documentation. It runs as an MCP server to allow reading/writing/searching of long-term memories.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18+)
Setup
Clone the Repository: Clone the
agentMemoryproject into your agent's workspace or a parallel directory:git clone https://github.com/webzler/agentMemory.git .agent/skills/agent-memoryInstall Dependencies:
cd .agent/skills/agent-memory npm install npm run compileStart the MCP Server: Use the helper script to activate the memory bank for your current project:
npm run start-server <project_id> <absolute_path_to_target_workspace>Example for current directory:
npm run start-server my-project $(pwd)
Capabilities (MCP Tools)
memory_search
Search for memories by query, type, or tags.
- Args:
query(string),type?(string),tags?(string[]) - Usage: "Find all authentication patterns" ->
memory_search({ query: "authentication", type: "pattern" })
memory_write
Record new knowledge or decisions.
- Args:
key(string),type(string),content(string),tags?(string[]) - Usage: "Save this architecture decision" ->
memory_write({ key: "auth-v1", type: "decision", content: "..." })
memory_read
Retrieve specific memory content by key.
- Args:
key(string) - Usage: "Get the auth design" ->
memory_read({ key: "auth-v1" })
memory_stats
View analytics on memory usage.
- Usage: "Show memory statistics" ->
memory_stats({})
Dashboard
This skill includes a standalone dashboard to visualize memory usage.
npm run start-dashboard <absolute_path_to_target_workspace>

When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
1. Overview
This skill provides domain-specific logic and rules for its respective BDB pipeline component to ensure standardization across multi-agent workflows.
3. Core Process
- Read the provided context and ensure preconditions are met.
- Run the required script or tool and confirm the state change.
- Verify exit codes, file modifications, or DB counts to guarantee success before reporting completion.
4. Common Rationalizations
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "The code change was small, so I skipped updating OpenWiki docs." | Every state change must be reflected in the relevant system records. |
| "The ingest script exited without an error, so the memB index must be updated." | Silent failures happen; explicit verification of the side effect is mandatory. |
| "I'll let the /startcycle proceed without a defined rollback path." | Proceeding without a rollback path corrupts the workflow integrity and safety. |
| "I trust the cached agent registry instead of rescanning after a skill change." | Caches stale out quickly; explicit rescans prevent ghost failures. |
5. Red Flags
- Bypassing the verification step after a script execution.
- Proceeding to the next pipeline stage without confirming the previous stage's side effects.
- Ignoring domain-specific constraints listed in this skill.
6. Verification
- Verified script exit codes are explicitly checked.
- Confirmed target files or database records reflect the expected change.
- Ensured no silent failures were ignored before reporting success.
