The user wants to save this to long-term memory: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

Call memory_save with content, concepts, and files.

Why

Preserve knowledge across sessions so it can be retrieved later via recall.

Workflow

1. Analyze the user's input: extract the core insight, decision, or fact.
2. Extract 2-5 searchable concepts (lowercased keyword phrases, specific over generic).
3. Extract relevant files (absolute or repo-relative paths).
4. Call memory_save with content, concepts, files.
5. Confirm to the user with the concepts you tagged.

Anti-patterns

WRONG -- generic concepts that won't match future searches:

{"concepts": ["auth", "code", "bug"]}

RIGHT -- specific, searchable concepts:

{"concepts": ["jwt-refresh-rotation", "token-expiry-handler"]}

WRONG -- editing the user's phrasing in content:

// Paraphrasing changes the meaning. Preserve the user's exact words.

RIGHT -- preserving original phrasing:

{"content": "We decided to use XDG_CONFIG_HOME as the primary config directory..."}

MCP tool unavailable

If memory_save is not available:

1. Run /plugin list in Claude Code, confirm mempalace is enabled.
2. Restart Claude Code (.mcp.json is only read on startup).
3. Check /mcp to see if the mempalace MCP server is connected.
