memory-search · davila7 — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Searches conversation history and semantic memory across sessions. Helps agents recall earlier decisions before tackling new code.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill ai-maestro/memory-searchWhat memory-search does
The skill runs searches against a local CozoDB vector database via the memory-search.sh script. Supported query modes include default hybrid search, semantic concept matching, exact term matching, and code symbol lookups. Role flags like --role user and --role assistant isolate specific participants in the chat.
AI Maestro must run locally for this search to function. The storage layer depends on CozoDB. Without executing ./install-memory-tools.sh from the plugins repository, queries fail immediately. It is one of 6 orchestration skills in the suite and connects with graph and documentation scripts.
What it helps with
- recall architectural decisions from earlier chat sessions
- locate exact function names using symbol matching
- retrieve context before beginning a new programming task
- filter conversation history by user or assistant messages
Example prompts for the agent
- Search memory for previous discussions about authentication
- Find earlier notes on PaymentService using term mode
- Recall what we decided regarding error handling patterns
