Bettermemory

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: tools-misc  ·  Last updated:
Verification-grade memory between sessions. Use bettermemory's MCP tools (memory_search, memory_show, memory_write, memory_verify, memory_record_use, etc.) instead of writing to files when the user asks you to "remember" something or references shared context from a past session. Default is to NOT call memory_search; only retrieve when the user references context you don't have ("my project", "the script we wrote") or a request is ambiguous in a way stored preferences could resolve. Every hit carries a staleness_verdict (calendar + path-drift + commit-drift); when it isn't "fresh", spot-check a claim before relying and call memory_verify to attest. Every use should record a claim_excerpt so retrievals stay auditable.

From the source SKILL.md

Persistent memory between sessions lives in this plugin's MCP tools. Do not fragment memory across ad-hoc files alongside (MEMORY.md, ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/, scratch markdown elsewhere). Future sessions only see what these tools surface.

What this skill does

Bettermemory is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the tools-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/bettermemory/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Bettermemory Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 154,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Bettermemory skill?

Browse related skills at /category/tools/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Bettermemory skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools).
