remember
Explicitly save important knowledge to auto-memory with timestamp and context. Use when a discovery is too important to rely on auto-capture.
Best use case
remember is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Explicitly save important knowledge to auto-memory with timestamp and context. Use when a discovery is too important to rely on auto-capture.
Teams using remember should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# /si:remember — Save Knowledge Explicitly
Writes an explicit entry to auto-memory when something is important enough that you don't want to rely on Claude noticing it automatically.
## Usage
```
/si:remember <what to remember>
/si:remember "This project's CI requires Node 20 LTS — v22 breaks the build"
/si:remember "The /api/auth endpoint uses a custom JWT library, not passport"
/si:remember "Reza prefers explicit error handling over try-catch-all patterns"
```
## When to Use
| Situation | Example |
|-----------|---------|
| Hard-won debugging insight | "CORS errors on /api/upload are caused by the CDN, not the backend" |
| Project convention not in CLAUDE.md | "We use barrel exports in src/components/" |
| Tool-specific gotcha | "Jest needs `--forceExit` flag or it hangs on DB tests" |
| Architecture decision | "We chose Drizzle over Prisma for type-safe SQL" |
| Preference you want Claude to learn | "Don't add comments explaining obvious code" |
## Workflow
### Step 1: Parse the knowledge
Extract from the user's input:
- **What**: The concrete fact or pattern
- **Why it matters**: Context (if provided)
- **Scope**: Project-specific or global?
### Step 2: Check for duplicates
```bash
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null
```
If a similar entry exists:
- Show it to the user
- Ask: "Update the existing entry or add a new one?"
### Step 3: Write to MEMORY.md
Append to the end of `MEMORY.md`:
```markdown
- {{concise fact or pattern}}
```
Keep entries concise — one line when possible. Auto-memory entries don't need timestamps, IDs, or metadata. They're notes, not database records.
If MEMORY.md is over 180 lines, warn the user:
```
⚠️ MEMORY.md is at {{n}}/200 lines. Consider running /si:review to free space.
```
### Step 4: Suggest promotion
If the knowledge sounds like a rule (imperative, always/never, convention):
```
💡 This sounds like it could be a CLAUDE.md rule rather than a memory entry.
Rules are enforced with higher priority. Want to /si:promote it instead?
```
### Step 5: Confirm
```
✅ Saved to auto-memory
"{{entry}}"
MEMORY.md: {{n}}/200 lines
Claude will see this at the start of every session in this project.
```
## What NOT to use /si:remember for
- **Temporary context**: Use session memory or just tell Claude in conversation
- **Enforced rules**: Use `/si:promote` to write directly to CLAUDE.md
- **Cross-project knowledge**: Use `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` for global rules
- **Sensitive data**: Never store credentials, tokens, or secrets in memory files
## Tips
- Be concise — one line beats a paragraph
- Include the concrete command or value, not just the concept
- ✅ "Build with `pnpm build`, tests with `pnpm test:e2e`"
- ❌ "The project uses pnpm for building and testing"
- If you're remembering the same thing twice, promote it to CLAUDE.mdRelated Skills

xurl
A Twitter research and content intelligence skill focused on attracting WordPress and Shopify clients.

xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
