# Claude-Mem — Persistent Memory Plugin

> Claude-Mem adds memory across agent sessions. Install with npx, restart your IDE/CLI, then search observations via mem-search or the local viewer.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

1. Install the verified entrypoint:

```bash
npx claude-mem install
```

2. Run a first local check:

```bash
Restart your CLI/IDE, then continue your normal agent workflow
```

3. Add a repeatable verification step:

```bash
Open http://localhost:37777 (Web Viewer UI)
```

## Intro

Claude-Mem is a verified GitHub-backed asset sourced from `thedotmack/claude-mem` with 74,744 stars and a Apache-2.0 license snapshot. Best for: developers who run many short agent sessions and want context continuity without manual copy/paste. Works with: Node.js + npx install flow; integrates with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode (per repo). Setup time: 6 minutes.

### Quantitative notes

- Local viewer UI on http://localhost:37777 (repo)
- Setup time ~6 minutes

## Deep Dive

### What it solves

Use this when you need a **repeatable, team-shareable workflow** instead of one-off agent prompts. The goal is to make installation, first-run validation, and rollback **predictable**.

### Minimal mental model

- Treat the GitHub repo as the source of truth: install instructions, configs, and upgrade paths live there.
- Keep your first run small: one command, one verification, one rollback plan.
- Capture a baseline: setup time, first successful run, and one real task completed end-to-end.

### Safe rollout checklist

1. **Verify source**: confirm repo URL, stars, and license match what you expect.
2. **Install** using the Quick Use commands above.
3. **Prove it works** with the verification command; save the output in a note or issue.
4. **Operationalize**: document owner, upgrade command, and rollback command.

### Troubleshooting (common)

- **Install succeeds but nothing shows up**
  - Likely cause: the tool needs a restart/reload (CLI/IDE) or a config file in the right path.
  - Fix: restart the client, then re-run the verification step.

- **Works on one machine, fails on another**
  - Likely cause: Node/Python/Docker versions differ or missing system dependencies.
  - Fix: pin versions (Node/Python), and copy a minimal known-good config.

- **Token cost or latency is worse than expected**
  - Likely cause: tool schemas or verbose outputs get injected into context.
  - Fix: prefer smaller steps, cache results, and keep tool responses concise when possible.

### FAQ

**Q: Is `npm install -g` enough?**
A: The repo warns the global npm install is SDK-only; use `npx claude-mem install` to register hooks and worker service.

**Q: How do I control what gets stored?**
A: Use the repo's privacy controls (e.g., <private> tags) and keep secrets out of logs by default.

**Q: How do I validate it is working?**
A: Confirm the local viewer loads, then check that new sessions reference recent observations when relevant.

# Claude-Mem——跨会话持久记忆插件

> Claude-Mem 为 Claude Code、Gemini CLI 等提供跨会话持久记忆：自动捕获工具观察并压缩总结，在新会话注入相关上下文；支持本地 Web Viewer 与 mem-search 搜索。

## 快速使用

1. 安装（以仓库为准）：

```bash
npx claude-mem install
```

2. 首次运行/检查：

```bash
Restart your CLI/IDE, then continue your normal agent workflow
```

3. 可重复验证：

```bash
Open http://localhost:37777 (Web Viewer UI)
```

## 简介

Claude-Mem 已核验来源于 `thedotmack/claude-mem`（74,744 stars，许可证 Apache-2.0）。适合：频繁启动/切换会话、希望上下文可持续而不手动复制粘贴的开发者。兼容：Node.js + npx 安装；可与 Claude Code、Gemini CLI、OpenCode 集成（见仓库说明）。装机时间：6 分钟。

### 量化信息

- 本地 Web Viewer： http://localhost:37777（仓库说明）
- 装机约 6 分钟

## 深度说明

### 解决什么问题

把“找到项目 → 安装 → 首次验证 → 回滚/升级”变成可复用流程，避免只靠一次性提示词或截图操作。

### 最小心智模型

- GitHub 仓库是事实来源：安装、配置、升级、已知问题都以它为准。
- 第一次只做最小闭环：一个命令安装、一个命令验证、一个可回滚方案。
- 记录基线：装机耗时、首次成功输出、完成 1 个真实任务的证据。

### 安全推广清单

1. **核验来源**：确认仓库 URL / stars / license 与预期一致。
2. 按“快速使用”完成安装与首次检查。
3. 跑通“验证命令”，把输出留档。
4. 标注 owner，并写清升级/回滚步骤。

### 常见排障

- **装了但看不到效果**
  - 常见原因：需要重启 CLI/IDE 或配置文件路径不对。
  - 处理：重启后再跑一遍“验证命令”。

- **一台机器能跑，另一台不行**
  - 常见原因：Node/Python/Docker 版本差异或缺少系统依赖。
  - 处理：固定版本，并拷贝最小可用配置。

- **token 成本/延迟超预期**
  - 常见原因：工具 schema 或输出过长被塞进上下文。
  - 处理：拆小步骤、缓存结果、尽量让工具输出更短。

### FAQ

**Q: `npm install -g` 就够吗？**
A: 仓库提示全局 npm 安装只装 SDK；要注册 hook/worker 需用 `npx claude-mem install`。

**Q: 怎么控制哪些内容会被保存？**
A: 使用仓库提供的隐私控制（如 <private> 标签），默认把密钥从日志和观察里排除。

**Q: 怎么验证生效？**
A: 先确认本地 viewer 能打开，再观察新会话是否会在合适时机引用最近的观察摘要。
