Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill remember- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads remember automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
/si:remember — Save Knowledge Explicitly
Writes an explicit entry to auto-memory when something is important enough that you don't want to rely on Claude noticing it automatically.
Usage
/si:remember <what to remember>
/si:remember "This project's CI requires Node 20 LTS — v22 breaks the build"
/si:remember "The /api/auth endpoint uses a custom JWT library, not passport"
/si:remember "Reza prefers explicit error handling over try-catch-all patterns"
When to Use
| Situation | Example |
|---|---|
| Hard-won debugging insight | "CORS errors on /api/upload are caused by the CDN, not the backend" |
| Project convention not in CLAUDE.md | "We use barrel exports in src/components/" |
| Tool-specific gotcha | "Jest needs --forceExit flag or it hangs on DB tests" |
| Architecture decision | "We chose Drizzle over Prisma for type-safe SQL" |
| Preference you want Claude to learn | "Don't add comments explaining obvious code" |
Workflow
Step 1: Parse the knowledge
Extract from the user's input:
- What: The concrete fact or pattern
- Why it matters: Context (if provided)
- Scope: Project-specific or global?
Step 2: Check for duplicates
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null
If a similar entry exists:
- Show it to the user
- Ask: "Update the existing entry or add a new one?"
Step 3: Write to MEMORY.md
Append to the end of MEMORY.md:
- {{concise fact or pattern}}
Keep entries concise — one line when possible. Auto-memory entries don't need timestamps, IDs, or metadata. They're notes, not database records.
If MEMORY.md is over 180 lines, warn the user:
⚠️ MEMORY.md is at {{n}}/200 lines. Consider running /si:memory-review to free space.
Step 4: Suggest promotion
If the knowledge sounds like a rule (imperative, always/never, convention):
💡 This sounds like it could be a CLAUDE.md rule rather than a memory entry.
Rules are enforced with higher priority. Want to /si:promote it instead?
Step 5: Confirm
✅ Saved to auto-memory
"{{entry}}"
MEMORY.md: {{n}}/200 lines
Claude will see this at the start of every session in this project.
What NOT to use /si:remember for
- Temporary context: Use session memory or just tell Claude in conversation
- Enforced rules: Use
/si:promoteto write directly to CLAUDE.md - Cross-project knowledge: Use
~/.claude/CLAUDE.mdfor global rules - Sensitive data: Never store credentials, tokens, or secrets in memory files
Tips
- Be concise — one line beats a paragraph
- Include the concrete command or value, not just the concept
- ✅ "Build with
pnpm build, tests withpnpm test:e2e" - ❌ "The project uses pnpm for building and testing"
- ✅ "Build with
- If you're remembering the same thing twice, promote it to CLAUDE.md
FAQ
What does the remember skill do?
Explicitly save important knowledge to auto-memory with timestamp and context. Use when a discovery is too important to rely on auto-capture.
How do I install remember?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill remember in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/remember/ (personal) or .claude/skills/remember/ (project).
Which AI agents can use remember?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is remember safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Use when a finance request doesn't obviously match one skill and you need to pick the right one (e.g., 'analyze these financials', 'how healthy are my SaaS metrics').

product-skills
alirezarezvani/claude-skills
Use when coordinating product work across the 12 bundled product sub-skills (RICE, OKRs, UX research, design tokens, competitive teardown, analytics, experiments, discovery, roadmaps, spec-to-repo, landing pages, SaaS scaffolding) or the 4 standalone product-team plugins (user stories, Apple HIG, code-to-PRD, research summarizer). Triggers on 'help me prioritize', 'plan a product experiment', 'we ship features nobody uses', 'run the discovery loop', 'is our OST sound'. Forks context to route to one sub-skill via a deterministic signal router and returns a digest; can also drive a continuous-discovery loop (Torres cadence tracker + OST linter as machine gates) or a full goal→plan→execute→verify→close run through the repo-wide agent-harness. Distinct from project-management (how to deliver vs what to build), marketing/landing (from-scratch pages), and engineering/agent-harness (the generic loop engine this orchestrator plugs into).
