What it does
This skill gives an AI coding agent background knowledge about agentmemory, a memory server that runs on your machine, records what coding agents do, and makes that history searchable again later. With it installed, the agent can answer questions about how memories are stored, retrieved, and organised, which ports are used, and where the local viewer lives, and it can reason about extending the system. It is a reference guide rather than a tool that changes your files or runs commands by itself.
Great for
- Developers who want to understand or extend the agentmemory codebase
- Engineers debugging why a memory was or was not retrieved
- Anyone setting up local ports or the web viewer for agentmemory
Skip it if
- Simply using agentmemory day to day, since the skill only explains internals and does not replace the MCP or REST tools (the reason: it adds no new capability for memory operations)
- Users who need guaranteed current port or config values, because the guide points to other skills and docs for exact settings that may change
Try asking
- “How does agentmemory retrieve memories end to end?”
- “Which ports does agentmemory use by default and how do I change them?”
- “Where is the agentmemory viewer and what does it show?”
- “How would I add a new capability to agentmemory on the iii engine?”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Ask targeted questions such as retrieval or storage, so the agent uses the relevant section.
- Check the see-also skills for exact REST, MCP, hook, or config details before relying on a value.
- Confirm defaults such as ports against your own running configuration, since the skill is descriptive text.
