# Install memory tools
git clone https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro-plugins.git
cd ai-maestro-plugins && ./install-memory-tools.sh
Core Behavior
Before starting any task, search memory for relevant context:
Receive instruction -> Search memory -> Then proceed
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
memory-search.sh "<query>" | Hybrid search (recommended) |
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode semantic | Find conceptually related |
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode term | Exact text matching |
memory-search.sh "<query>" --mode symbol | Code symbol matching |
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role user | Only user messages |
memory-search.sh "<query>" --role assistant | Only assistant messages |
Search Modes
| Mode | Best For |
|---|---|
hybrid (default) | General search, most cases |
semantic | Related concepts, different wording |
term | Exact function/class names |
symbol | Code identifiers across contexts |
Usage Examples
# User asks to continue previous work
memory-search.sh "authentication"
# Find a specific component discussion
memory-search.sh "PaymentService" --mode term
# Find related design discussions
memory-search.sh "error handling patterns" --mode semantic
# Find code symbol references
memory-search.sh "processPayment" --mode symbol
Combining with Other Skills
For complete context, pair with docs-search and graph-query:
memory-search.sh "feature" # What did we discuss?
docs-search.sh "feature" # What do docs say?
graph-describe.sh ComponentName # What is the structure?
