how-it-works
The claude-mem skill explains how it captures AI agent activities through compressed observations and automatically injects relevant memories into subsequent sessions to provide context. This allows the AI to remember project details and decisions, avoiding repetitive codebase explanations or rediscovering information, significantly enhancing development efficiency and coherence.

1 组Without memory management, an AI agent starting a new session or task repeatedly needs to understand project context, codebase structure, and previous decisions, leading to significant time wasted on repetitive context preparation and information retrieval.
With claude-mem's memory injection, the AI agent automatically receives relevant historical context, eliminating the need for repetitive explanations or rediscovery of information, significantly reducing context preparation time and improving development efficiency and task coherence.
How claude-mem works
What it does
Every Read, Edit, and Bash that Claude makes turns into a compressed observation. Observations get summarized at session end. Relevant ones get auto-injected into future prompts so the next session starts with context from the last one — no re-explaining the codebase, no re-discovering decisions.
When it kicks in
Memory injection starts on your second session in a project.
The first session in a fresh project seeds memory; subsequent sessions receive auto-injected context for relevant past work. Run /learn-codebase if you want to front-load the entire repo into memory in a single pass (~5 minutes, optional).
Where data lives
Everything stays in ~/.claude-mem on this machine.
Nothing leaves your machine except calls to whichever AI provider you configured for compression (Claude / OpenRouter / Gemini). The SQLite database, vector index, logs, and settings all live under that directory and are removed cleanly on npx claude-mem uninstall.
