Agent Memory Skill

This skill provides a persistent, searchable memory bank that automatically syncs with project documentation. It runs as an MCP server to allow reading/writing/searching of long-term memories.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)

Setup

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the agentMemory project into your agent's workspace or a parallel directory:

   git clone https://github.com/webzler/agentMemory.git .agent/skills/agent-memory
   

2. Install Dependencies:

   cd .agent/skills/agent-memory
   npm install
   npm run compile
   

3. Start the MCP Server: Use the helper script to activate the memory bank for your current project:

   npm run start-server <project_id> <absolute_path_to_target_workspace>
   

   Example for current directory:

   npm run start-server my-project $(pwd)
