Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 35f2ec0, the one we checked, or the latest version.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie, Amp and Antigravity, and Claude Code for Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

Pinned to commit 35f2ec0, the one we checked.

From your project's root folder:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&
  git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git "$tmp" &&
  git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 35f2ec0eb5b2b1e745564db4ce1ecec58eb331e7 &&
  git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- claude-mem-grok-bot/skills/install &&
  git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 35f2ec0eb5b2b1e745564db4ce1ecec58eb331e7 &&
  mkdir -p .claude/skills &&
  mkdir .claude/skills/claude-mem-install &&
  cp -R "$tmp"/claude-mem-grok-bot/skills/install/. .claude/skills/claude-mem-install/ &&
  rm -rf "$tmp"

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit 35f2ec0. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

What it can touch: Scripts or outside hosts

  • Runs shell commands

    Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.

  • Names web addresses

    It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.

Pattern check

Pattern check: 1 item to review · commit 35f2ec0 · 26 Oct 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 35f2ec0 on 26 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

  • Agent Skills specFails

    The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.

    • Error

      The name "claude-mem-install" doesn't match its folder "install". The spec requires them to match. N4

      Fix: Set name: install, or rename the folder to claude-mem-install.

    • Warning

      The name "claude-mem-install" uses the reserved word claude. Uploads to the Claude apps and API reject it. N5

      Fix: Choose a name without "anthropic" or "claude".

    • Note

      There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2

      Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.

  • Claude CodePasses

    Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.

    • Note

      The name "claude-mem-install" doesn't match its folder "install". Claude Code shows the skill as /claude-mem-install, and the folder name also invokes it. N4

      Fix: Set name: install, or rename the folder to claude-mem-install.

    • Note

      The name "claude-mem-install" uses the reserved word claude. Claude Code loads it, but uploading it to claude.ai or the Claude API fails. N5

      Fix: Choose a name without "anthropic" or "claude".

  • Claude apps & API uploadFails

    Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.

    • Error

      The name "claude-mem-install" doesn't match its folder "install". claude.ai refuses an upload whose folder name doesn't match the skill name. N4

      Fix: Set name: install, or rename the folder to claude-mem-install.

    • Error

      The name "claude-mem-install" uses the reserved word claude. Anthropic's API docs don't allow "anthropic" or "claude" in skill names. N5

      Fix: Choose a name without "anthropic" or "claude".

  • OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings

    Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.

    • Warning

      The name "claude-mem-install" doesn't match its folder "install". OpenAI's own upload example uses a differently named folder, but the spec it follows says they must match. N4

      Fix: Set name: install, or rename the folder to claude-mem-install.

  • VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings

    VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.

    • Warning

      The name "claude-mem-install" doesn't match its folder "install". VS Code uses the folder name, install, instead. N4

      Fix: Set name: install, or rename the folder to claude-mem-install.
