Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb-skills --skill read-memories- 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 read-memories 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.
Search past session logs silently — do NOT narrate the process. Absorb the results and continue with enriched context.
$0 is the keyword. Pass --here as $1 to scope to the current project only.
Step 1 — Query
duckdb :memory: -c "
SELECT
regexp_extract(filename, 'projects/([^/]+)/', 1) AS project,
strftime(timestamp::TIMESTAMPTZ, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M') AS ts,
message.role AS role,
left(message.content::VARCHAR, 500) AS content
FROM read_ndjson('<SEARCH_PATH>', auto_detect=true, ignore_errors=true, filename=true)
WHERE message::VARCHAR ILIKE '%<KEYWORD>%'
AND message.role IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY timestamp
LIMIT 40;
"
Search paths:
- All projects:
$HOME/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl - Current only (
--here):$HOME/.claude/projects/$(echo "$PWD" | sed 's|[/_]|-|g')/*.jsonl
Replace <SEARCH_PATH> and <KEYWORD> before running.
Step 2 — Internalize
From the results, extract decisions, patterns, unresolved TODOs, and user corrections. Use this to inform your current response — do not repeat raw logs to the user.
