mem0-memory skill

Mem0 Memory

Mem0 is an optional associative-memory layer. Current task context, current repository evidence and documentation, and the NLA private ledger are primary. Mem0 can supply a useful lead, but it is not authoritative live state.

If memory_* tools are absent or a call fails, continue the primary task. When the user explicitly requested persistence or deletion, say that it could not be confirmed. Never treat an empty or failed search as proof that a fact is false or never existed.

Retrieve narrowly

• Use memory_search with a focused query and normally limit: 3 to 5.
• Do not bulk-dump memory. Avoid memory_list unless focused search cannot identify a record; if listing is necessary, keep its limit small.
• Use memory_get only to inspect an identified record exactly. Use memory_history only when how that record changed matters.
• Recheck paths, commits, repository behavior, and service state in their canonical sources before relying on them.

Bounded retrieval matters especially for 4B models: return only records needed for the current decision.

Store, update, or delete carefully

1. Accept only a short, atomic, self-contained, confirmed, durable fact.
2. Never store secrets, credentials, tokens, private keys, raw transcripts, large logs, source files, whole documents, guesses, or transient reasoning.
3. Before memory_add, run a precise duplicate memory_search with a small limit. Update the matching record with memory_update instead of creating a near-duplicate.
4. For exact technical facts, identifiers, paths, commits, or explicit wording, call memory_add with infer: false.
5. When the user explicitly asks to remember something, write synchronously and verify it with memory_get using the returned ID or a focused memory_search. Report honestly if verification fails.
6. Use memory_delete only for the exact identified record the user asked to forget or that is confirmed obsolete.

The namespace is configured outside the agent and owned by the server/plugin. Do not invent or pass user_id, namespace, agent_id, or any other scope override; those are not memory-tool arguments.

Tool surface

Use only the available NLA tools: memory_search, memory_list, memory_get, memory_add, memory_update, memory_delete, and memory_history.
