Memory Save Skill

Explicitly save knowledge to the Claude Code memory system for future reference.

When to Use

• Recording an important decision
• Documenting a useful pattern
• Saving a solution to a tricky error
• Noting learnings for future reference
• Creating reusable knowledge

Usage

The skill accepts content to save. Examples:

Copy/mem-save decision: We chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB for this project
/mem-save pattern: This regex pattern works for parsing dates: /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/
/mem-save learning: The API rate limits at 100 requests per minute
/mem-save error-fix: The CORS issue was fixed by adding the origin header

Note Types

Workflow

1. Identify Content Type

   • Parse the user's input to determine the note type
   • If unclear, ask for clarification

2. Structure the Content

   • Extract the main information
   • Add appropriate context (project, tags)
   • Format with Obsidian-friendly markdown

3. Save and Confirm

   • Use mem_write to persist
   • Show the saved note path
   • Offer to add more details
