Install
Type these inside Claude Code's chat:
/plugin install claude-mem@claude-mem
Description
Persistent memory system for Claude Code. Stores and retrieves context across sessions so Claude remembers your preferences, project details, and past decisions.
How It Works
Core Components: • 5 Lifecycle Hooks - SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionEnd (6 hook scripts) • Smart Install - Cached dependency checker (pre-hook script, not a lifecycle hook) • Worker Service - HTTP API on port 37777 with web viewer UI and 10 search endpoints, managed by Bun • SQLite Database - Stores sessions, observations, summaries • mem-search Skill - Natural language queries with progressive disclosure • Chroma Vector Database - Hybrid semantic + keyword search for intelligent context retrieval See [Architecture Overview](https://docs.claude-
Quick Start
Start a new Claude Code session in the terminal and enter the following commands: ` /plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem /plugin install claude-mem ` Restart Claude Code. Context from previous sessions will automatically appear in new sessions. > Note: Claude-Mem is also published on npm, but npm install -g claude-mem installs the SDK/library only — it does not register the plugin hooks or set up the worker service. To use Claude-Mem as a plugin, always install via the /plugin commands above.
🦞 OpenClaw Gateway
Install claude-mem as a persistent memory plugin on OpenClaw gateways with a single command: `bash curl -fsSL https://install.cmem.ai/openclaw.sh | bash ` The installer handles dependencies, plugin setup, AI provider configuration, worker startup, and optional real-time observation feeds to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more. See the OpenClaw Integration Guide for details.
