# Memory Management Skill

## Purpose
AgentDB memory system with HNSW vector search. Provides 150x-12,500x faster pattern retrieval, persistent storage, and semantic search capabilities for learning and knowledge management.

## When to Trigger
- need to store successful patterns
- searching for similar solutions
- semantic lookup of past work
- learning from previous tasks
- sharing knowledge between agents
- building knowledge base

## When to Skip
- no learning needed
- ephemeral one-off tasks
- external data sources available
- read-only exploration

## Commands

### Store Pattern
Store a pattern or knowledge item in memory

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory store --key "[key]" --value "[value]" --namespace patterns
```

**Example:**
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory store --key "auth-jwt-pattern" --value "JWT validation with refresh tokens" --namespace patterns
```

### Semantic Search
Search memory using semantic similarity

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory search --query "[search terms]" --limit 10
```

**Example:**
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory search --query "authentication best practices" --limit 5
```

### Retrieve Entry
Retrieve a specific memory entry by key

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory get --key "[key]" --namespace [namespace]
```

**Example:**
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory get --key "auth-jwt-pattern" --namespace patterns
```

### List Entries
List all entries in a namespace

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory list --namespace [namespace]
```

**Example:**
```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory list --namespace patterns --limit 20
```

### Delete Entry
Delete a memory entry

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory delete --key "[key]" --namespace [namespace]
```

### Initialize HNSW Index
Initialize HNSW vector search index

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory init --enable-hnsw
```

### Memory Stats
Show memory usage statistics

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory stats
```

### Export Memory
Export memory to JSON

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli memory export --output memory-backup.json
```


## Scripts

| Script | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `memory-backup` | `.agents/scripts/memory-backup.sh` | Backup memory to external storage |
| `memory-consolidate` | `.agents/scripts/memory-consolidate.sh` | Consolidate and optimize memory |


## References

| Document | Path | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| `HNSW Guide` | `docs/hnsw.md` | HNSW vector search configuration |
| `Memory Schema` | `docs/memory-schema.md` | Memory namespace and schema reference |

## Best Practices
1. Check memory for existing patterns before starting
2. Use hierarchical topology for coordination
3. Store successful patterns after completion
4. Document any new learnings
