Mem auto
Run the automatic memory lifecycle on mem-auto, /mem-auto, or $mem-auto — resume open [Handoff] entries, capture verified [Candidate] notes, and delegate to mem-recall, mem-promote, mem-clean, and mem-sync.From its SKILL.md

mem-auto — Unified Memory Autopilot
Runs the automatic memory loop; delegate detailed work to the narrow mem-* skills.
Memory Scopes
- Long-term memory: global durable instructions, preferences, facts, and reusable conventions in
~/.agents/AGENTS.md(the canonical core read natively by every agent); project durable rules inAGENTS.mdorCLAUDE.md. - Short-term memory: daily
[Candidate]logs in~/.agents/memories/YYYY-MM-DD.mdand.memories/YYYY-MM-DD.md; active[Handoff]state lives in per-task files under.memories/handoffs/(one file per task). Both the daily logs and thehandoffs/subdirectory sync through/mem-sync.
Delegation
Use /mem-recall for short-term lookups, /mem-promote for durable promotion/prune,
/mem-clean for destructive cleanup, and /mem-sync for project log status/diff/pull/push.
Autopilot Loop
- Start / Handoff In
- In cross-device projects, run
/mem-syncpull first. - Legacy handoff migration is idempotent — it runs at most once. If the sentinel
.memories/.handoff-migratedexists, skip this step — do not re-scan. Otherwise run the one-time migration in references/handoff-migration.md: it greps project and global daily logs for inline[Handoff]residue, migrates any found, and writes the sentinel so later sessions never re-check. Legacy handoffs that arrive later via/mem-syncare surfaced on demand by/mem-recall's fallback grep, not by checking at every start. - Resolve handoffs by listing
.memories/handoffs/— one file per active task, namedYYYY-MM-DD__<slug>.md. Read only the relevant task file(s); do not load the whole.memories/tree into context. If several handoffs are open, list them and let the user pick. - If the handoff is stale or its branch is merged/gone, ask before resuming.
- Treat auto-loaded
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.mdas the normal source for durable instructions; use/mem-recallfor short-term logs, and inspect durable files only when their loaded content seems incomplete or exact wording matters.
- In cross-device projects, run
- Capture
- Before writing task state, apply references/security.md and references/session-handoff.md.
- Capture gate — write only if it passes. Ask: would a fresh agent be wrong, blocked, or materially slower without this note? If not, write nothing. Capturing nothing is a valid and common outcome; never log just to fill the step.
- Never capture (avoids running-log noise): routine successful steps, restatements of the task or request, or anything already recoverable from code, tests,
git log, docs, or external trackers (e.g., GitHub/GitLab Issues). If a suitable external tracker is available, ask the user whether to open an issue instead of logging it. - At milestones, blockers, quota/context limits, or session boundaries, write or update the task's handoff file
.memories/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD__<slug>.md(date = creation day;<slug>an agent-chosen name fitting the task). Keep it a single live delta — update the file in place, do not stack entries — holding only what a fresh agent would need to continue: goal, progress, verification, next actions, blockers/assumptions, and suggested skills. - Reference existing artifacts by path or URL instead of duplicating contents.
- Treat the handoff file as transient active state: not a
[Candidate], not promotable directly, and deleted on completion rather than promoted into durable memory. - Log verified durable insights to today's log (
.memories/YYYY-MM-DD.mdlocally ormemories/globally) as[Candidate]entries with a daily time stamp (e.g.,[HH:MM]). A[Candidate]must generalize beyond the current task — good: a reusable convention, a non-obvious environment constraint, a gotcha that will recur; bad: one-off task progress or a past fix (that is[Handoff]or git history).
- Sync
- Use
/mem-syncfor project daily-log Git operations. Itsmem-sync-git.sh statusanddiffcommands are read-only checks for local/remote.memories/differences. - Pull before reading remote handoffs; push at session end or after promotion/capture changes that should be available on other devices.
- Use
- Manual Governance
- Delegate promotion/prune to
/mem-promote; delegate expired logs and conflict copies to/mem-clean. Do not delete or rewrite history frommem-auto.
- Delegate promotion/prune to
- Closure
- When the task is achieved and verified, delete that task's handoff file from
.memories/handoffs/. Active handoff state is transient — completion removes it; any durable insight should already be captured as a[Candidate]note.
- When the task is achieved and verified, delete that task's handoff file from
