Claude-Mem Setup (Cowork pairing)
Configure this plugin with the user's own cmem.ai credentials so hooks can
capture and inject memory. Anyone can pair — credentials are per-user
configuration, never hardcoded in plugin logic.
What to collect
From cmem.ai → Connect, the user has three values:
- sync token (starts with
cm_) — used as the bearer API key
- user id (UUID)
- SyncHub URL (a workers.dev or cmem.ai URL)
If the user pastes the whole Connect blurb, extract the three values from it.
If any are missing, ask for the sync token at minimum — the other two are
optional.
Secret handling — non-negotiable
- Never echo the token back in conversation, put it in a shell argv, or log it.
- Move it only via file writes (Write/Edit tool) and file reads.
Steps
-
Locate the installed plugin root (this skill's own plugin). Update its
config.json: set apiKey to the sync token, userId, and syncHubUrl.
Leave other settings unless the user asks (inject toggles). Project naming
is automatic (cmem_work_*) and is not configurable.
