Memory Save & Persistence FAQs

Question 1

Is it safe to run mem-save multiple times?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is idempotent and designed to be called frequently. Each call adds a new chronological entry to your history without overwriting previous work.

Question 2

Does mem-save perform Git commits?

Accepted Answer

No, this skill is focused strictly on memory and state persistence. It does not perform Git operations or commit your source code.

Question 3

Where does this skill store my data?

Accepted Answer

Memory is stored in three places: the claude-mem MCP plugin for search, a Memory Knowledge Graph for entity tracking, and a local docs/dev/MEMORY_INDEX.md file for project documentation.

Question 4

When should I use the mem-save skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use it periodically during long sessions, after making significant technical decisions, or immediately before clearing your context to ensure continuity.

Question 5

What is the primary purpose of the mem-save skill?

Accepted Answer

It captures the current state of your development session—including progress, decisions, and next steps—and saves it to multiple storage backends so it can be retrieved later, even after a context clear.
