Project Memory Search

Query cross-session history via claude-mem.

Scope

Searches observations stored by claude-mem in the current project only. Does not access git history, file contents, or observations from other projects.

See also learning-patterns for encoding new observations.

If claude-mem Tools Are Not Available

Tell the user that cross-session memory requires the claude-mem plugin (/plugin install claude-mem@thedotmack). Suggest alternatives: check git log for recent changes, read CLAUDE.md files for project context, or use git blame for file history.

3-Layer Workflow

1. Search (index): search with keywords — returns compact list with IDs (~50-100 tokens/result)
2. Get details: get_observations with IDs from search — returns full narratives (~500-1000 tokens/result)
3. Timeline: timeline with anchor ID or query — shows chronological context around an observation
