agentmemory-hooks
The agentmemory plugin hooks that capture observations automatically across the agent session lifecycle. Use when explaining how memory gets captured without manual saves, when debugging missing observations, or when tuning what gets recorded.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory --skill agentmemory-hooks- 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 agentmemory-hooks automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.

The agentmemory plugin registers lifecycle hooks so memory is captured automatically. You do not have to call memory_save for routine work; the hooks observe tool use, prompts, and session boundaries and write observations for you.
Quick start
For Claude Code, install its plugin:
/plugin marketplace add rohitg00/agentmemory
/plugin install agentmemory
For Devin CLI and Devin Desktop, install the plugin and start a new session:
devin plugins install rohitg00/agentmemory#plugin
Run /hooks inside Devin to confirm the agentmemory hooks are loaded. Plugin hooks run only in local Devin sessions, not in cloud sessions.
Pi and OMP install native recall and capture with agentmemory connect pi --with-mcp or agentmemory connect omp --with-mcp. Reload Pi or restart OMP, then inspect /agentmemory-status. DSH requires agentmemory connect dsh --with-hooks and a restart. Cursor lifecycle hooks come from its enabled plugin, separately from connect cursor's MCP setup.
Hermes and OpenClaw use their native integrations and lifecycle contracts. Follow the matching integration setup instructions and verify a real turn creates an observation. Installing shared skills or connecting MCP alone does not enable automatic capture. Watch recorded observations in the viewer at http://localhost:3113 when using the default port. A pending capture queue is not proof that the daemon stored the event.
What the hooks do
- Session start and end frame each unit of work and let
handoffresume it. - Tool-use hooks capture what changed and why, the raw material for
recallandrecap. - Prompt-submit captures intent. Pre-compact preserves context before the host trims it.
- A post-commit hook links commits to sessions, which powers
commit-contextandcommit-history.
Important
- The plugin hooks capture by default without an LLM. Per-observation LLM compression (
AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS) and hook context injection (AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT) are separate options. Session summaries can use a configured LLM provider independently of automatic observation compression. Native integrations have their own recall/capture settings; inspect the host configuration instead of assuming these flags control every plugin. - If observations are missing, confirm the plugin is enabled and the server is running. See TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

- The handoff, recap, and session-history skills consume what these hooks record.
