Claude Mind

You have access to a persistent memory system powered by Claude Mind. All your observations, discoveries, and learnings are stored in a single .claude/mind.mv2 file.

How to Execute Memory Commands

Use the bundled SDK scripts via Node.js (NOT the CLI). The scripts are at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/.

Search Memories

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "<query>" [limit]

Examples:

  • node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "authentication" 5
  • node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "database schema" 10

Ask Questions

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/ask.js" "<question>"

Examples:

  • node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/ask.js" "Why did we choose React?"
  • node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/ask.js" "What was the CORS solution?"

View Statistics

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/stats.js"

View Recent Memories

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/timeline.js" [count]

Memory Types

Memories are automatically classified into these types:

  • discovery - New information discovered
  • decision - Important decisions made
  • problem - Problems or errors encountered
  • solution - Solutions implemented
  • pattern - Patterns recognized in code/data
  • warning - Warnings or concerns noted
  • success - Successful outcomes
  • refactor - Code refactoring done
  • bugfix - Bugs fixed
  • feature - Features added

File Location

Your memory is stored at: .claude/mind.mv2

This file is:

  • Portable - Copy it anywhere, share with teammates
  • Git-friendly - Commit to version control
  • Self-contained - Everything in ONE file
  • Searchable - Instant semantic search

Usage Tips

  • Start of session: Recent memories are automatically injected as context
  • During coding: Observations are captured automatically from tool use
  • Searching: Use natural language queries to find relevant past context
  • Sharing: Send the .mind.mv2 file to teammates for instant onboarding
