Automatic cross-session memory — no more amnesia after /clear.

What it is

Claude Code forgets everything after /clear. claude-mem fixes that: it auto-saves what happens in sessions, compresses it with AI, and injects the relevant context into new sessions. SQLite + vector DB running in the background — you don't notice anything except Claude actually remembering your project.

Install / Setup

Repo: github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem

Option 1 — Plugin marketplace:

/plugins

Search for "claude-mem" and activate it.

Option 2 — Prompt Claude Code:

Install claude-mem from https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem following the README. If it's available in the plugin marketplace, use that path. At the end show me how to verify it's running.

How it works

• Auto-saves session content
• Compresses with AI — only the relevant stuff sticks
• Auto-injects into new sessions
• SQLite + Chroma vector DB under the hood

Use cases

• Long project over weeks — /clear every time without losing memory.
• Context reset after overload — Session gets slow → /clear → claude-mem reloads what matters.
• Multiple projects in parallel — Switching projects, Claude remembers where you left off.
• Debugging with history — Same issue as last week? claude-mem pulls the fix automatically.

Pro tip

claude-mem is strong, but it also drags in noise if you've got a lot of projects running. For clean separation: per-project CLAUDE.md + per-project .planning/ (e.g. via GSD) instead of dumping everything into global memory.
