Memory Search

Use this skill when you need context from past runs beyond today.

How to search

Use npx --yes qmd to search across shared memory files (daily logs, shared knowledge). Always pass --yes — without it, npx may block forever waiting for an install confirmation. The search index covers shared/ only — user-specific files under users/ are not indexed. The index name and memory base directory are provided in your context.

Quick keyword search

npx --yes qmd --index claw-memory search "PR review" -n 5

Full document output

npx --yes qmd --index claw-memory search "deployment" --full

Direct file access

You can also read files directly using the memory base directory from context:

# Read a specific day
cat <memory_base_dir>/shared/daily/2026-03-01.md

# List recent daily logs
ls -t <memory_base_dir>/shared/daily/ | head -7

When to use

• User asks "remember when..." or "last time you..."
• You need context about a repo or workflow you've seen before
• You want to check if you've encountered an error before
