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:
cat <memory_base_dir>/shared/daily/2026-03-01.md
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
