Memory (Claude Mind)

A persistent memory skill that keeps Claude's observations in one portable .mv2 file and lets you search or ask questions about them.

What it does

Claude Mind accumulates discoveries, decisions, problems and solutions from your coding sessions into a single .claude/mind.mv2 file. This skill teaches Claude the commands for working with that store:

  • find.js — search past memories with keywords or natural language
  • ask.js — answer questions like "Why did we choose React?" from memory
  • stats.js — show memory statistics
  • timeline.js — list the most recent memories

Memories are auto-classified into ten types (discovery, decision, problem, solution, pattern, warning, success, refactor, bugfix, feature). Because it is one file, it is trivial to commit to Git or hand to a teammate.

Who it's for

  • Developers tired of re-explaining project context in every new session
  • Teams that want a record of architectural decisions and troubleshooting
  • Leads who want a single context file for fast onboarding

Examples

  1. New session: "What did we do about authentication before?" → runs find.js "authentication" 5 and summarizes the five closest memories.
  2. Before a refactor: "How did we fix that CORS issue?" → ask.js answers with the original solution and context.
  3. Weekly review: timeline.js 20 pulls the last twenty memories to draft a progress summary.

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/memory folder from the GitHub repo memvid/claude-brain into my ~/.claude/skills/memory/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/memvid/claude-brain.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-brain/skills/memory ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Make sure Node.js is installed (node -v).
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/memvid/claude-brain.git
  3. Install dependencies and build as the repo instructs (e.g. cd claude-brain && npm install && npm run build); a dist/scripts/ folder must exist.
  4. Prefer the plugin installation described in the README, since the scripts rely on CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT being set correctly.
  5. For a manual copy: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-brain/skills/memory ~/.claude/skills/, then fix the dist/scripts paths to match your machine.
  6. Restart Claude Code and try "search my memory for authentication work" to confirm it responds.
  7. Commit the generated .claude/mind.mv2 file to Git if you want to share memory with your team.
