Can I use different configurations for different projects?

Yes, the skill supports multiple configuration layers including machine-local overrides (.hydradb-plugin.local.json) and shareable workspace defaults (.hydradb-plugin.json).

What is the benefit of enabling captureMode?

Setting captureMode to 'session-upsert' or 'both' allows the plugin to automatically save your conversation history and project context to HydraDB for future recall.

How does this skill handle my HydraDB API keys?

The setup skill prioritizes using environment variables like HYDRADB_API_KEY in the configuration files to prevent literal secrets from being committed to your repository.

How do I check if my HydraDB setup is working?

You can use the built-in status command recommended by the skill to verify active configuration layers and ensure the plugin is communicating correctly with the HydraDB API.

Configures the HydraDB plugin for Claude Code to enable persistent workspace memory and automated context recall.

The HydraDB Setup skill provides a streamlined way to integrate HydraDB's long-term memory capabilities directly into your Claude Code environment. It automates the creation of necessary configuration files—whether machine-local, workspace-specific, or global—while ensuring that sensitive credentials like API keys remain secure through environment variable mapping. By allowing developers to fine-tune capture modes and recall settings, this skill ensures that Claude maintains a high-fidelity context of your project history, making AI-assisted coding more accurate and context-aware through intelligent workspace sync and prompt-time recall.
