LLMem Setup

Install, configure, and integrate LLMem into an agent's harness so it can use structured memory.

When to Run

• Setting up memory for a new agent
• Adding memory to an existing agent harness
• After cloning LLMem and before first use
• When an agent asks "how do I get llmem working?"

Installation Philosophy

Plugin-first, zero-config instructions. LLMem uses platform plugins to inject memory context automatically at session start, extract memories on idle/end, and preserve context during compaction. This means:

• No manual instruction editing required. The plugin handles automatic lifecycle hooks.
• Skills provide on-demand behavioral guidance. When the agent encounters a memory-related situation, it loads the skill. No need to paste 80 lines of instructions into AGENTS.md.
• One line in config enables everything. Add the plugin and you're done.
