Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 02584c4, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. thedotmack/claude-mem/claude-mem-grok-bot/skills/install (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

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

name: claude-mem-install
```

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 02584c4 on 3 Nov 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 the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- 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.
