# mem0-integrate

Wires Mem0 memory into an existing backend repository via a TDD pipeline. Sets up a feature branch, writes tests first, and guards new logic behind a flag.

## What it does

This skill guides developers through adding Mem0 to existing Python and Node.js repositories. At launch, it prompts you to choose between managed Mem0 Platform and self-hosted Open Source. All edits land on a dedicated git branch, avoiding breaking changes by placing the new logic behind an environment variable like `MEM0_ENABLED=1`.

The integration follows a test-driven development workflow. It inspects documentation, prepares failing tests before altering application code, and outputs state to `.mem0-integration/`. The run can then be verified by triggering `mem0-test-integration`.

Repositories without a backend are rejected during the precondition check. The skill also halts immediately if the git working tree has uncommitted edits.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mem0-integrate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mem0ai/mem0 mem0-integrate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --path skills/mem0-integrate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0-integrate -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/HEAD/skills/mem0-integrate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- wire Mem0 storage into an existing backend codebase
- scaffold failing test cases prior to implementation
- isolate memory features behind an environment flag
- create integration artifacts inside `.mem0-integration/`

## Example prompts
- Integrate mem0 into this repo
- Add mem0 memory to our backend project
- Wire mem0 into this service using self-hosted setup

  Integrate Mem0 into an existing repository using a goal-driven, TDD pipeline.
  Detects the repo's language automatically and asks the user to pick between

  `.mem0-integration/` artifacts consumed by the paired verification skill.
  TRIGGER when: user says "integrate mem0", "add mem0 to this repo", "wire
  mem0 into <repo>", or asks how to add memory to an existing project.
  DO NOT TRIGGER when: the user wants general SDK usage (use skill:mem0),
  CLI usage (use skill:mem0-cli), or Vercel AI SDK (use skill:mem0-vercel-ai-sdk).
  After success, invoke skill:mem0-test-integration to verify in the same

# mem0-integrate

Wire Mem0 into an existing repo with a goal-driven, test-first pipeline.
Pairs with `mem0-test-integration` for verification.

## Canonical sources (fetch before deciding anything)

The skill MUST `WebFetch` these URLs before step 3 and cite them in
`plan.md`. They are the ground truth — do not rely on ambient knowledge
of the Mem0 API.

### Agent-ready docs
- Scope-tagged docs index: https://docs.mem0.ai/llms.txt
- Full docs (single file, deep dives): https://docs.mem0.ai/llms-full.txt
- OpenAPI spec (Platform REST, machine-readable): https://docs.mem0.ai/openapi.json
- Hosted MCP server: https://mcp.mem0.ai/mcp (requires Platform API key)
- Integrations index: https://docs.mem0.ai/integrations

### Published Mem0 skills — delegate; do not reimplement
Prefer these over writing your own call-site patterns. Each is a
standalone `SKILL.md` with triggers, examples, and version-pinned code.

- SDK (Python + TS, Platform + OSS): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mem0ai/mem0/main/skills/mem0/SKILL.md
- CLI: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mem0ai/mem0/main/skills/mem0-cli/SKILL.md

### SDK source (read when docs are ambiguous)
Public repo. Cross-check against the `mem0_tested_versions` range in this
skill's frontmatter if the `main` branch has moved past a major.

- Repo root: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0

## Integration principles (non-negotiable)

The true goal of this skill is to produce a **PR the maintainers can accept
