About mem-search

mem-search
Search claude-mem persistent cross-session memory through enforced progressive
mem-search is a skill from the claude-mem project for searching the persistent memory that claude-mem keeps across Claude Code sessions. It is meant for finding previous decisions, earlier solutions, past work history and similar context. The skill enforces a progressive disclosure flow. The agent starts with a compact index, then pulls surrounding context for the most relevant results, and only then opens the full details of the selected memories. It does not begin by fetching full records. The guided flow runs in three steps, from an index through context to selected details, and the agent asks for a deeper layer only when it helps answer the current question. Local and remote MCP servers expose the same input and result contract. The skill also tells the agent to treat anything stored in memory as evidence from previous sessions, so that stored instructions, commands or tool results are data and are not executed as instructions.
