conport-memory

name	conport-memory
description	Access Context Portal (ConPort) as persistent project memory via MCPorter. Load/update project context, log decisions and progress, track patterns. Use PROACTIVELY at session start to load context and throughout work to log decisions. Combats AI amnesia across sessions.

<conport_memory_skill> ConPort is your project's memory bank - a SQLite-backed knowledge base that persists decisions, progress, patterns, and context across Claude Code sessions. Access via MCPorter CLI without MCP installation.

<when_to_use_proactively> Load product_context and active_context Log decision with rationale and tags Update progress with status Log system_pattern for reuse Update active_context with current state </when_to_use_proactively>

<session_workflow> 1. Check if context_portal/context.db exists 2. If exists: - get_product_context - understand project goals - get_active_context - resume from last session - get_progress status:"in_progress" - see pending tasks - get_decisions - review recent architectural decisions 3. If not exists: prompt user to run /conport-init

<phase name="During Work">
  - log_decision - when making architectural choices
  - log_progress - when completing tasks
  - log_system_pattern - when discovering reusable patterns
  - log_custom_data - for project-specific context
</phase>

<phase name="Session End">
  1. update_active_context - record current state and next steps
  2. log_progress - mark completed items
</phase>

</session_workflow>

<knowledge_graph> Link related items to build explicit relationships:

npx mcporter call --stdio "uvx --from context-portal-mcp conport-mcp --mode stdio" \
  conport.link_conport_items \
  source_type:"decision" source_id:"dec-123" \
  target_type:"progress" target_id:"prog-456" \
  relationship:"implements"

Retrieve linked items:
npx mcporter call --stdio "uvx --from context-portal-mcp conport-mcp --mode stdio" \
  conport.get_linked_items item_type:"decision" item_id:"dec-123"
