# import Load durable knowledge into MemMesh. ## 1. Read the source Accept: a MemMesh export (Markdown or JSONL), a native `MEMORY.md` / `CLAUDE.md`, an ADR folder, or a **mem0 export** dump. ## 2. Feed it in — prefer observe For prose / notes / decisions, `memory_observe` each item so the engine re-extracts and builds the knowledge graph: ```jsonc { "name": "memory_observe", "arguments": { "text": "<one fact/decision>", "projectId": "<repo>" } } ``` For a MemMesh JSONL backup where you must preserve exact ids/timestamps, use `memory_save` per row instead. ## 3. Scope it Project rules/decisions → `scope: "project"` with `projectId`. Personal preferences → `scope: "user"` with `userId`. Batch by scope so it's consistent. ## 4. Idempotency & verify `memory_observe` dedupes re-observed text, so a re-run is safe. After import, run `stats` to confirm the count, and `peek` a couple of known facts to confirm they're retrievable. > Importing a full mem0/Zep setup (not just a file)? Use `memmesh-migrate` — it > audits call sites, maps the API, and reconciles counts.
