Memory Skill

When to Use

• Questions about remembering across sessions
• "What if user comes back tomorrow?"
• Cross-conversation persistence
• User profile/preference storage
• Long-term relationship building with users

Key Feature: Memory

Memory lets Claude remember information across separate conversations.

Core Capabilities

1. Cross-session persistence: Remember user context between visits
2. Structured storage: Organize memories by category
3. Selective recall: Retrieve relevant memories for each conversation
4. Privacy controls: User-managed memory deletion

Memory vs Context Editing

Common Use Cases

1. User preferences: "John prefers dark mode, uses metric units"
2. Past interactions: "Last discussed budget concerns on Dec 1"
3. Workflow state: "User is in step 3 of onboarding"
4. Relationship context: "Enterprise customer, technical buyer"

Response Guidelines

1. Clarify the need: Within-session or cross-session?
2. If cross-session: Recommend Memory
3. If within-session: Context Editing is sufficient
4. Combine both: For power users, use both together
