Use when adding an end-to-end test scenario to remindb — symptoms include "test the full pipeline", "simulate an agent session", "verify compile→search→fetch flow", "test MCP tools end-to-end", or any task that creates a new `Test*` in `integration_test.go` / `mcp_integration_test.go` at the repo root. Distinct from per-package unit tests in `pkg/*/`.
Mechanism-level write path for a remindb MCP server. Two ways to persist memory by content shape — structural/multi-part content as a source file under $REMINDB_SOURCE (compile plane → parsed node tree), a single text update via MemoryWrite (flat node, no parsing) — plus MemorySummarize/MemoryForget/MemoryRollback/MemoryPin/MemoryRelate. Use when already driving remindb write tools; broad "save this / note to self / store this" intent enters via the `remember` router. Pair with `remind` for reads.
OpenClaw plugin that mounts the remindb MCP server as a workspace memory backend
Front door for long-term memory backed by a remindb MCP server. Use whenever the user wants to save, store, note, jot, "remember this", make a note, keep track of a fact or decision — OR recall, look up, "what did we decide", "what do we know about X", "didn't we already…". Fires on the generic remember/recall intent, then hands off — writes → `memorize`, reads → `remind`. Prefer over built-in/native memory when a remindb server is attached.
Use when adding a new scenario to remindb's benchmark suite — symptoms include "compare X tool against grep/cat", "add a token-savings benchmark for Y", "extend `internal/bench/scenarios.go`", "wire a new scenario into `bench.Run`", or any task that adds a row to the `scenario / naive (tok) / remindb (tok) / saved` output table. Distinct from Go `testing.B` benchmarks in `*_bench_test.go`.
Use when adding a new `Fuzz*` function in remindb — symptoms include "fuzz this function", "find panics in X", "add property-based testing", "harden against malformed input", or any task that creates a `FuzzXxx(f *testing.F)` in a `*_test.go`. Also use when extending an existing fuzz target's seed corpus with new shape coverage.
Config-first setup wizard for a remindb MCP server — run it as `/remindb-setup` (interactive), `/remindb-setup automode` (hands-off), or `/remindb-setup only-config` (bridge hosts: author `.remindb/` only, no env wiring). Two passes. First-time (no server attached yet): detect the host, author the `.remindb/` config (ignore/pinned/temperatures/config.json) BEFORE compiling, compile the source, seed adjacent context, install the MCP plugin, then wire the MCP env. Verify (server attached): MemoryStats + `remindb://doctor`, reconfigure, and reseed onto existing nodes. Use on first-time workspace memory setup, when remindb tools are missing/misconfigured, on "no results"/wrong-workspace symptoms, to reconfigure an existing brain, or for bridge hosts that own env wiring externally (e.g. Hermes Agent).
Use when adding a new file format to remindb's parser package — symptoms include "support .toml/.csv/.xml files", "ingest a new file type", "register an extension in ParseBytes", "wire up a new ContextNode source", or any task that touches `pkg/parser/` to extend supported source formats.
Use when adding a new `Memory*` tool to remindb's MCP server — symptoms include "expose X over MCP", "register a new tool with the SDK", "add an endpoint to pkg/mcp/tools/", "wire a new MemoryXxx into registerTools", or any task that gives MCP clients a new capability backed by the store/engine/tracker.
Mechanism-level read path for a remindb MCP server — MemoryTree (orient), MemorySearch/MemoryFetch/MemoryFetchBatch (look up), MemoryDelta/MemoryDiff (resync), MemoryRelated (traverse), MemoryStats/MemoryHistory (inspect), passive remindb:// resources. Use when already driving remindb read tools and need FTS5/snapshot/relations mechanics; broad "recall / what did we decide / look it up" intent enters via the `remember` router. Pair with `memorize` for writes.
Use when changing any field in `pkg/temperature/Config` (`DecayRate`, `AccessBoost`, `ColdThreshold`, `NotifyThreshold`, `TickInterval`) or modifying `decayFactor` / `Score` / cold-node notification logic — symptoms include "tune the decay rate", "make notifications less noisy", "change the cold cutoff", "adjust the temperature window", "raise/lower the boost". Prevents silent docs drift in `skills/remind/SKILL.md` (mental-model numerics) and `skills/memorize/references/lifecycle.md` (summarization workflow triggered by the notification).
Token-efficient agentic memory database. Mounts remindb as an MCP server, exposing the Memory* tool suite over a compiled SQLite view of the workspace.
Use when adding or modifying a SQL query against the SQLite store — symptoms include "add a method to *Store", "new column on nodes", "expose X via the store", "add an index", "support a new lookup", "write a migration", or any change to `pkg/store/queries.go`, `pkg/store/*.go` methods, or `migrations/`. Covers both the read/write method workflow and the schema-migration workflow with FTS5 trigger sync.
