Give AI coding agents persistent memory across conversations, projects, and development environments.
HyperMemory stores the decisions, constraints, fixes, and context that matter to your work. This repository publishes the canonical software-development skill that teaches an AI agent when to recall, store, update, connect, and report that context.
Current stable release: v0.6.5
Once installed, the skill directs a compatible coding agent to:
- recall relevant context before starting work;
- store durable technical facts, decisions, preferences, and outcomes;
- update existing knowledge instead of creating duplicates;
- connect memories to the projects and components they describe;
- keep a chronological activity timeline; and
- report token usage with explicit measurement quality and activity attribution.
The protocol is designed for software engineering work in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-capable agent environments.
- A HyperMemory account
- A configured HyperMemory MCP connection or an authenticated HyperMemory CLI
- An AI agent that supports skills, instruction files, or repository-based rules
Never put API keys or other secrets in SKILL.md or your project repository.
Use the repository URL when your agent supports Git-based skills:
https://github.com/hypermemory-ai/hypermemory-skill.git
For Cursor, add the URL from Settings → Skills → Add Skill.
If your tool uses a local skills directory, copy
SKILL.md
into a skill folder without changing its contents. A typical layout is:
hypermemory-software-development/
└── SKILL.md
If your tool uses a single rules or instructions file, include the contents of
SKILL.md using that tool's normal import mechanism.
Start a new agent conversation and confirm that the HyperMemory tools are available. The agent should recall relevant memory before substantive work and record durable context as work progresses.
For release v0.6.5, the canonical file has this checksum:

Verify a downloaded copy with:
shasum -a 256 SKILL.mdPull the latest repository revision or replace your installed SKILL.md with
the file from the newest GitHub release.
Check the release notes before updating because the operating protocol may
change between versions.
