autodream-brain-sync

name	autodream-brain-sync
description	Syncs Claude Code's local memory system to Open Brain. Triggers whenever memories are saved via dreaming, autodream, or explicit "remember this" requests. After every local memory file write, captures the same content to Open Brain via mcp__open-brain__capture_thought so that memories are accessible from all connected AI clients (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Codex) and across all devices. Trigger on: memory saves, autodream, dreaming, "remember", "save to memory", or any write to the .claude/projects/*/memory/ directory.

Autodream Brain Sync

Problem

Claude Code's auto-memory system (dreaming/autodream) saves memories to local files under .claude/projects/*/memory/. These files are only accessible to Claude Code on the same machine. If you use multiple AI clients (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Codex) or multiple devices, those memories are invisible to your other sessions.

Trigger Conditions

• Any write to a memory file in .claude/projects/*/memory/ (excluding MEMORY.md index)
• User says "remember this", "save to memory", "dream", "autodream"
• End-of-session memory saves (auto-dreaming)
• Explicit /memory command usage

Process

1. Write the memory to its local file as normal (following the standard memory system format with frontmatter)
2. Update MEMORY.md index as normal
3. Immediately after each memory file write, call mcp__open-brain__capture_thought with the memory content
   • Use the memory content (not the frontmatter) as the thought
   • Prefix with the memory type in brackets for context, e.g. [feedback] Don't mock the database in integration tests
   • If the memory references a specific project, include the project name

Output

Each memory save produces:

• A local .md file in the memory directory (standard behavior)
• An updated MEMORY.md index (standard behavior)
• A corresponding Open Brain thought capture (added by this skill)

Guard Rails

• Do not capture the MEMORY.md index file itself — it's just pointers, not content
• Do not duplicate — if updating an existing memory file, capture the updated version (Open Brain handles dedup via embeddings)
• Do not block on failure — if mcp__open-brain__capture_thought fails (MCP server down, network error), complete the local memory save anyway and note the sync failure
• Respect memory exclusions — if the standard memory system says "don't save this", don't capture to Open Brain either

Notes for Other Clients

This skill is specific to Claude Code's auto-memory system. Other clients don't have local memory files, so they capture directly to Open Brain without needing this sync step. The skill ensures Claude Code's local memories don't become an isolated silo.
