  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by thedotmack on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Claude Mem Install AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/claude-mem-grok-bot/skills/install .claude/skills/claude-mem-install
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Claude Mem Install in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Claude Mem Install on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Claude Mem Install is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Install claude-mem on Grok Bot

Independent of Cursor. Grok Bot has no session-start / file-read / tool-use hooks.

Local worker + CMEM Pro observer (default)

npx claude-mem install --ide grok-bot

Do not pass --provider host unless you want the loopback shim. With no --provider, this is the CMEM Pro path:

  • Worker on 127.0.0.1:<port> (default 37700 + uid%100). Do not restart if healthy.
  • Transcript watcher per Grok Bot agent (platformSource=grok-bot)
  • Observer via CMEM Pro: CLAUDE_MEM_PROVIDER=openrouter, CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1, CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_MODEL=cmem-observer, API key from installer OAuth (cm_pro memory key)
  • Interactive installer pre-selects CMEM Pro
  • MCP session_start_context at the start of a real task
  • Live INDEX into agents/<uuid>/memory/log/zz-claude-mem-inject.md (disable with CLAUDE_MEM_GROK_BOT_INJECT_ENABLED=false)

No xAI key. No Claude CLI.

Optional: local host-login observer

Explicit opt-in only. Not the user default.

npx claude-mem install --ide grok-bot --provider host

Loopback OpenAI-compatible shim on a free loopback port (not the worker port). Idle replies are <skip_summary />; finished units are one <observation>. This Grok login fulfills inbox jobs (skill host-observer).

Remote worker / remote observer

Set plugin variable CLAUDE_MEM_MCP_TOKEN and use MCP claude-mem-remote.

npx claude-mem install --ide grok-bot --runtime server --server-url https://cmem.ai

Frequently asked questions

What does the Claude Mem Install AI skill do?

Use this when setting up claude-mem on Grok Bot: local worker plus CMEM Pro observer (default), optional host-login observer, or remote cmem.ai. No Cursor required.

Why use Claude Mem Install on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Claude Mem Install is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Claude Mem Install in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/tree/main/claude-mem-grok-bot/skills/install. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Claude Mem Install?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Claude Mem Install?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Claude Mem Install with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Claude Mem Install AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by thedotmack under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
