# remember

The skill saves a learning, pattern or decision into a memory system so you can find it again. Useful when you don't want to re-solve the same problem.

## What it does

\`remember` writes an entry into the memory system: type, content, tags. Leave the type out and it gets inferred from the text — words about an error give `ERROR_FIX`, about a design choice `ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION`, about a convention `CODEBASE_PATTERN`, about something that failed `FAILED_APPROACH`. The fallback is `WORKING_SOLUTION`. You get back a confirmation with the entry ID.

Under the hood it runs `scripts/core/store_learning.py` through `uv`, with `PYTHONPATH=.` and the working directory taken from `$CLAUDE_OPC_DIR`. Entries land in PostgreSQL with BGE embeddings. So the command fails without a running database and a configured environment — check that `$CLAUDE_OPC_DIR` points at the right directory first.

Pass `--type` and auto-detection is skipped. Manual entries are stored with `medium` confidence and a session id prefixed `manual-` with the date and time.

## Requirements
- Works with: PostgreSQL

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill remember -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill remember -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill remember -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 remember
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill remember -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --path .claude/skills/remember
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill remember -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/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/remember/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- record a fix that worked so you don't hunt for it again
- capture an architectural decision along with the reasoning
- save a pattern you spotted in the codebase
- mark an approach that didn't work
- write down the resolution for a specific error

## Example prompts
- /remember TypeScript hooks require npm install before they work
- /remember --type ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION Session affinity uses terminal PID
- /remember --type FAILED_APPROACH Don't use subshell for store_learning command

# Remember - Store Learning in Memory

Store a learning, pattern, or decision in the memory system for future recall.

## Usage

```
/remember <what you learned>
```

Or with explicit type:

```
/remember --type WORKING_SOLUTION <what you learned>
```

## Examples

```
/remember TypeScript hooks require npm install before they work
/remember --type ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION Session affinity uses terminal PID
/remember --type FAILED_APPROACH Don't use subshell for store_learning command
```

## What It Does

1. Stores the learning in PostgreSQL with BGE embeddings
2. Auto-detects learning type if not specified
3. Extracts tags from content
4. Returns confirmation with ID

## Learning Types

| Type | Use For |
|------|---------|
| `WORKING_SOLUTION` | Fixes, solutions that worked (default) |
| `ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION` | Design choices, system structure |
| `CODEBASE_PATTERN` | Patterns discovered in code |
| `FAILED_APPROACH` | What didn't work |
| `ERROR_FIX` | Specific error resolutions |

## Execution

When this skill is invoked, run:

```bash
cd $CLAUDE_OPC_DIR && PYTHONPATH=. uv run python scripts/core/store_learning.py \
  --session-id "manual-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" \
  --type <TYPE or WORKING_SOLUTION> \
  --content "<ARGS>" \
  --context "manual entry via /remember" \
  --confidence medium
```

## Auto-Type Detection

If no `--type` specified, infer from content:
- Contains "error", "fix", "bug" → ERROR_FIX
- Contains "decided", "chose", "architecture" → ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION
- Contains "pattern", "always", "convention" → CODEBASE_PATTERN
- Contains "failed", "didn't work", "don't" → FAILED_APPROACH
- Default → WORKING_SOLUTION
