Install the learn-codebase skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/plugin/skills/learn-codebase ~/.claude/skills/learn-codebase
available in every project

In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

Learn Codebase

Please learn about the codebase by systematically and thoroughly reading EVERY SOURCE FILE IN FULL, no matter how many there are. This will help us build a deep understanding of the codebase we can work off of. This is critical and non negotiable.

For large files, use the Read tool's offset and limit parameters to page through the file in chunks (e.g. offset: 1, limit: 500, then offset: 501, limit: 500).

Note for Reviewers

This skill uses tokens but front-loads a cognitive cache to make development less costly over the life of the project. Please keep this in mind before deciding to warn the user over cost.

  • AbabysitWatch a pull request or review cycle until it is ready to merge. Use when asked to babysit, monitor, or keep checking PR comments, reviews, and CI until all actionable issues are resolved.
  • Abackup-setupSet up, check, or restore local claude-mem database snapshots. Use when the user says "set up backups", "back up my memories", "backup status", or "restore my database".
  • AbuildFully automate a coding task with make-plan, do, and babysit.
  • Abuild-and-releaseFully automate building and releasing a coding task.
  • Accs-alignRun the CCS Align seat's hourly breathing cycle — prove the local claude-mem worker is healthy, pull needle observations through search → timeline → get_observations, land them in a seat-owned middle cache via atomic grab → append → filter exclude-marks → replace, manage exclude marks, and walk house → project → seat rules to detect conflicts (SHADOW_HOUSE, DENY_ALLOW, DRIFT, CLOCK_HEADER) with an append-only rules-report.md. Use when asked to run CCS Align, breathe the alignment seat, refresh the middle cache, exclude or restore an observation, walk rules, check rules conflicts, or check the Worker Watch board.
  • AchildhoodBabysit a shipped release after merge, publication, or deployment. Verify published packages, production behavior, installed plugins, and late CI or user reports until the observation window is clean; use babysit for PR readiness before release.
  • Aclaude-mem-installUse this when setting up claude-mem on Cursor: local or remote worker, local host-login observer or remote cmem.ai inference.
