Overrides the auto-detected project scope to read and write memories under a different project ID, or enables global search to access all memories across all users and projects. Use when working across multiple projects, accessing memories from another repo, enabling team-wide memory access, or when auto-detection resolves to the wrong project.
Searches and injects relevant memories into context before starting work on a task or topic. Use when beginning a new task, switching context, or when past decisions, preferences, or knowledge need to be loaded.
Consolidates stored memories by merging duplicates, resolving contradictions, and pruning stale entries. Use when memory count is high, search results feel noisy or repetitive, or periodic cleanup is needed to maintain memory quality.
Deletes memories by search query or memory ID with confirmation before removal. Use when removing outdated information, incorrect memories, sensitive data, or cleaning up after experiments.
Pins or unpins a memory to protect it from pruning during dream consolidation. Use when a memory is critical and must never be removed, such as core preferences, important decisions, or immutable personal facts.
Stores a memory verbatim from user input with appropriate category classification. Use when the user says remember this, save this, store this, note that, or explicitly asks to record a preference, decision, goal, or lesson.
Searches memories and displays compact one-liner results, or looks up a specific memory by ID. Use for quick memory lookups, checking if something was recorded, resolving [mem0:id] citations, or browsing memories without full category detail.

Override the automatic project_id detection for the current directory, or enable global search mode.

Searches now return all memories across all users and projects.
Writes still use the current user_id and app_id.
Restart the session for the change to take effect.

Searches now return only memories scoped to the current project.
Restart the session for the change to take effect.
If no project name was given, ask: "What project_id should this directory use?"
Write the mapping to ~/.mem0/project_map.json using the Bash tool:
python3 -c "

map_file = os.path.expanduser('~/.mem0/project_map.json')
mapping = {}
if os.path.isfile(map_file):

with open(map_file, 'w') as f:
json.dump(mapping, f, indent=2)
print(f'Mapped {os.getcwd()} -> <PROJECT_NAME>')
"
(Replace <PROJECT_NAME> with the user's chosen project name.)
Verify by searching for existing memories:
search_memories with query="project", filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "<active_user_id>"}, {"app_id": "<PROJECT_NAME>"}]}, top_k=1Print:
Switched to project <PROJECT_NAME>.
<N> memories found for this project.
Note: This override persists across sessions for this directory.
