mem-setup skill

by thedotmack·thedotmack/claude-mem·117k stars·Apache-2.0

This skill should be used when the user asks to "set up claude-mem", "pair claude-mem", "connect cmem", "add my cmem key", "set up cloud sync in Cowork" or in the Claude app, or provides cmem.ai Connect values (sync token, user id, SyncHub URL) for this plugin. Configures the CMEM Pro plugin credentials.

Claude-Mem Setup (Claude app pairing)

Configure this plugin with the user's own cmem.ai credentials so hooks can capture and inject memory. Anyone can pair — credentials are per-user configuration, never hardcoded in plugin logic.

What to collect

From cmem.ai → Connect, the user has three values:

  1. sync token (starts with cm_) — used as the bearer API key
  2. user id (UUID)
  3. SyncHub URL (https://sync.cmem.ai)

If the user pastes the whole Connect blurb, extract the three values from it. If any are missing, ask for the sync token at minimum — the other two are optional.

Secret handling — non-negotiable

  • Never echo the token back in conversation, put it in a shell argv, or log it.
  • Move it only via file writes (Write/Edit tool) and file reads.

Steps

config.json: set apiKey to the sync token, userId, and syncHubUrl. Leave other settings unless the user asks (inject toggles). Project naming is automatic (cmemwork) and is not configurable.

  1. Locate the installed plugin root (this skill's own plugin). Update its

this session. To make pairing permanent, repackage — zip the plugin directory as .plugin and send it to the user to re-install (the cowork-plugin skill's packaging flow). Tell the user this is why.

  1. Claude app containers are ephemeral: edits to the installed copy last only for

directory exists), write the same values to ~/.claude-mem/settings.json with mode 0600 (CLAUDEMEMCLOUDSYNCTOKEN, CLAUDEMEMCLOUDSYNCUSERID, CLAUDEMEMCLOUDSYNCHUBURL keys — the same keys the local claude-mem cloud-sync pairing writes). This plugin's hooks stay off wherever claude-mem is installed locally, so that pairing is what carries this machine's work to cmem.ai. The worker reads those keys only at startup: restart it and run the claude-mem cloud-sync skill's Verify step, which must report configured: true and hub.reachable: true. Don't report success before it does; if it never does, pair through that skill's installer flow instead.

  1. If this machine also has a local claude-mem install (a ~/.claude-mem/
  1. Verify without exposing the secret:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cmem-hook.mjs" status

Report the masked output. A MISSING key means the write didn't land; a 404 on /api/hooks/context is expected until the Pro endpoints deploy (search/injection still work via /api/mcp).

Alternate source

Env vars override everything and need no file edits: CMEMAPIKEY, CMEMUSERID, CMEMSYNCHUBURL, CMEMAPI_BASE.
