description	Use this when the user asks to search memory, "did we already solve this?", "how did we do X last time?", or wants work from previous sessions.

mem-search

Layered workflow. Do not dump full observations until IDs are filtered, and do not reach for raw tool bodies until the summaries came up short.

search(query) — index with IDs
timeline(anchor=ID) — nearby context
get_observations(ids=[...]) — full details for those IDs only
get_tool_uses(ids=[...]) — the ORIGINAL tool_input / tool_response for specific tool calls. Last resort: these are unsummarized and can run to thousands of tokens each.

Stamp platformSource as cursor or grok-bot on writes for this host. When reading, do not drop the other host unless asked.

If MCP is missing, run the install skill first (npx claude-mem install --ide <host>).
