distill-memory
Persistent knowledge capture for insights, decisions, and procedures that span multiple agent sessions.
- Store decisions with rationale, debugging lessons, repeatable workflows, and durable preferences as searchable memories
- Distinguish between new insights (use
add) and refinements to existing memories (useupdate) to avoid duplication - Design memories as atomic, standalone entries with clear titles that remain useful across future sessions
- Ideal for preserving incident learnings, technical constraints, and procedural knowledge that agents need to resume work cleanly
Distill Memory
Save proactively when the conversation produces a decision, preference, plan, procedure, learning, or important context. Do not wait to be asked.
When to Suggest (Moment Detection)
Breakthrough: Extended debugging resolves, user relief ("Finally!", "Aha!"), root cause found
Decision: Compared options, chose with rationale, trade-off resolved
Research: Investigated multiple approaches, conclusion reached, optimal path determined
Twist: Unexpected cause-effect, counterintuitive solution, assumption challenged
Lesson: "Next time do X", preventive measure, pattern recognized
Skip: Routine fixes, work in progress, simple Q&A, generic info

read-working-memory
Read your daily Working Memory briefing to understand current context. Contains active focus areas, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent knowledge changes. Load this automatically at the beginning of sessions for cross-tool continuity.
609search-memory
Search your personal knowledge base when past insights would improve response. Recognize when stored breakthroughs, decisions, or solutions are relevant. Search proactively based on context, not just explicit requests.
563save-thread
Deprecated compatibility skill. In generic npx skills environments this must degrade honestly to a resumable handoff, because real transcript-backed thread import is not guaranteed. Prefer save-handoff here, and use native integrations when you need actual session capture.
541save-handoff
Save a concise handoff summary only when the user explicitly requests it. Use this for resumable progress notes in generic agent environments where a real session importer is not guaranteed.
201check-integration
Check Nowledge Mem setup, detect your agent, and guide native plugin installation. Use when the user asks about setup, configuration, or when memory tools aren't working as expected.
176status
Check Nowledge Mem connection status, server version, CLI version, and configuration. Use when diagnosing issues or verifying setup.
