persistent-memory
ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL when handling persistent memory in this workspace, including task-start memory recall, explicit "remember" instructions, storing durable preferences/facts, and retrieving prior context. This skill owns the local memory workflow and CLI for init/sync/search/add/recent/stats.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill provides a local persistent memory system for workspaces. It allows storing and searching context via a local SQLite database and Python scripts. It contains an attack surface for indirect prompt injection due to the lack of sanitization and boundary markers for ingested memory strings.

What does this agent skill do?
Persistent Memory
Use this skill as the single memory system for this repository.
Commands
Use either command style:
python3 .agents/skills/persistent-memory/scripts/memory.py <command>.agents/skills/persistent-memory/scripts/pmem <command>
Supported commands:
initsync(database-only health check)cleanup-legacybackfill-embeddings --batch 500prune --source "<label>" [--older-than <days>]search "<query>" --limit 8add "<memory text>" --tags "<comma,tags>" --source "assistant"recent --limit 10stats
Required Workflow
- Initialize memory in a fresh workspace:
pmem init
- At the start of substantial tasks:
pmem sync(database-only health check)pmem search "<topic keywords>" --limit 8
- When user explicitly says
rememberor when a durable preference/fact is learned:
pmem add "<memory text>" --tags "<tags>" --source "assistant"
- Before finalizing memory-sensitive work, verify recall state:
pmem stats
One-Time Migration (If Upgrading From Older Setup)
- Remove legacy imported rows:
pmem cleanup-legacy
- Generate vectors for existing notes:
pmem backfill-embeddings
Storage Rules
- Store durable preferences, long-lived facts, stable workflows, and repeated constraints.
- Do not store noisy one-off transient details unless requested.
- Keep entries concise and specific.
- Prefer tags that improve retrieval quality (
preferences,calendar,comms,product).
Retrieval Rules
- Use targeted search queries instead of broad terms.
- Keep default
--limitlow unless deeper recall is needed. searchautomatically reinforces recalled entries by updatinghitsandlast_seen_at.hitsare analytics-oriented and not used as a direct ranking boost.- Search uses hybrid retrieval: lexical + semantic.
- Semantic search tries
sqlite-vecfirst and auto-falls back to Python cosine if needed.
Bootstrapping and Recovery
- If
.memory/is missing, runpmem init. pmem syncis a lightweight database-only check (no markdown import/export).- If semantic mode degrades, run
pmem statsto inspectsemantic_backendandembedding_coverage. - For command examples and quick troubleshooting, read
references/usage.md.
