Memory Save Skill
Explicitly save knowledge to the Claude Code memory system for future reference.
When to Use
- Recording an important decision
- Documenting a useful pattern
- Saving a solution to a tricky error
- Noting learnings for future reference
- Creating reusable knowledge
Usage
The skill accepts content to save. Examples:
/mem-save decision: We chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB for this project
/mem-save pattern: This regex pattern works for parsing dates: /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/
/mem-save learning: The API rate limits at 100 requests per minute
/mem-save error-fix: The CORS issue was fixed by adding the origin header

Workflow
- Identify Content Type
- Parse the user's input to determine the note type - If unclear, ask for clarification
- Structure the Content
- Extract the main information - Add appropriate context (project, tags) - Format with Obsidian-friendly markdown
- Save and Confirm
- Use mem_write to persist - Show the saved note path - Offer to add more details
