What status does

The skill inspects Nowledge Mem by running nmem --json status. It reports whether the server is reachable and checks database connectivity. The command also displays backend and nmem versions.

Testing requires an active Nowledge Mem backend or desktop app. The nmem-cli package installs via pip, uvx, or Arch Linux package managers yay and paru.

Remote mode requires valid configuration. Without apiUrl and apiKey inside ~/.nowledge-mem/config.json, the diagnostic check fails.

What it helps with

verify connectivity to the Nowledge Mem server
inspect installed backend and CLI versions
validate access to the knowledge graph
verify remote mode credentials in config.json

Example prompts for the agent

Check if Nowledge Mem is reachable
Diagnose memory connection and show CLI version
Is my memory database working?
