  • 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 Cloud Sync 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/plugin/skills/cloud-sync .claude/skills/cloud-sync
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cloud Sync 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 Cloud Sync 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 Cloud Sync 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.

Cloud Sync (cmem.ai Pro)

The installed worker syncs through SyncHub. There is one client, one durable operation log, and no separate sync daemon. This skill checks status or writes the three connection values issued by cmem.ai → Connect.

Security rule: never print the sync token, put it in argv, or log it. Confirm only its length. Preserve every unrelated setting and keep ~/.claude-mem/settings.json mode 0600.

1. Check status

Resolve the worker port and query the always-registered status route:

bash
PORT="${CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_PORT:-$(node -e "const fs=require('fs'),p=require('path'),os=require('os');const uid=(typeof process.getuid==='function'?process.getuid():77);const fallback=String(37700+(uid%100));try{const s=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p.join(os.homedir(),'.claude-mem','settings.json'),'utf-8'));process.stdout.write(String(s.CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_PORT||fallback));}catch{process.stdout.write(fallback);}" 2>/dev/null)}"
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/api/sync/status"
  • configured: true and hub.reachable: true → the worker completed an authenticated GET /v1/sync/status against SyncHub. Report deviceId, pending counts, lastFlushAt, lastError, and the Hub head/checkpoint; stop unless the user asked to replace the connection.
  • configured: true and hub.reachable: false → report hub.error and say the SyncHub connection is not verified. A zero pending count or lastError: null is not success because an empty queue performs no push.
  • configured: false → continue.
  • Connection refused, 404, or 503 immediately after restart → retry every three seconds for about 30 seconds before diagnosing the worker.

2. Obtain the connection

Ask for all three values shown by cmem.ai → Connect:

  1. sync token;
  2. user id;
  3. SyncHub URL.

The Hub URL must be an absolute https:// URL. Do not substitute the cmem.ai application API URL; the installed client talks only to SyncHub.

3. Write installed-client settings

Substitute the collected values inside this quoted stdin script. Do not echo them before or after running it:

bash
node - <<'EOF'
const fs = require('fs'), os = require('os'), path = require('path');
const token = 'PASTE_TOKEN_HERE';
const userId = 'PASTE_USER_ID_HERE';
const hubUrl = 'PASTE_HUB_URL_HERE';
if (!token || !userId || !/^https:\/\/[^\s]+$/.test(hubUrl)) {
  console.error('token, user id, and an https SyncHub URL are required');
  process.exit(1);
}
const dir = path.join(os.homedir(), '.claude-mem');
const file = path.join(dir, 'settings.json');
fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true });
const settings = fs.existsSync(file) ? JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8')) : {};
const target = settings.env && typeof settings.env === 'object' ? settings.env : settings;
target.CLAUDE_MEM_CLOUD_SYNC_TOKEN = token;
target.CLAUDE_MEM_CLOUD_SYNC_USER_ID = userId;
target.CLAUDE_MEM_CLOUD_SYNC_HUB_URL = hubUrl.replace(/\/+$/, '');
fs.writeFileSync(file, JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2) + '\n', { mode: 0o600 });
fs.chmodSync(file, 0o600);
console.log(`saved cloud connection: token length ${token.length}, user id length ${userId.length}`);
EOF

These are the only required connection keys. The worker mints and persists a device id on first start and defaults the device name to the hostname.

4. Restart and verify

bash
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/api/admin/restart"

Poll the status route every five seconds for up to 30 seconds while the successor starts. Success means configured: true, hub.reachable: true, and lastError: null. The local route always makes an authenticated, read-only SyncHub status probe, even when every pending count is zero; it never uses a legacy cmem.ai Pro status route and never appends or advances sync state. Pending counts describe only writes made after the SyncHub launch baseline; setup does not migrate a pre-launch local corpus.

If hub.reachable is false, report hub.error. If lastError is non-null, report it too. Ask the user to verify the three values in cmem.ai → Connect. Never include the token.

5. Report

Report device id, pending counts, last successful flush, Hub reachability and checkpoint, and any Hub/flush error. End with this privacy note:

Cloud sync uploads your observation narratives and full prompt text to your cmem.ai account.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cloud Sync AI skill do?

Set up or check claude-mem cloud sync with cmem.ai Pro. Use when the user says "set up cloud sync", "sync my memories", "cmem pro", "cloud backup", "sync status", or wants their memory database backed up or synced to their cmem.ai account.

Why use Cloud Sync on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cloud Sync 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 Cloud Sync in TypingMind?

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

Which AI models can use Cloud Sync?

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 Cloud Sync?

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

Is the Cloud Sync 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.
