Status
Quick diagnostic for Nowledge Mem connectivity and configuration.
When to Use
- User asks "is my memory working?" or "check status"
- Memory operations are failing or returning errors
- After initial setup to verify everything is connected
- When switching between local and remote mode
Usage
nmem --json status
This shows:
- Connection: whether the Nowledge Mem server is reachable
- Server version: which version of the backend is running
- CLI version: which version of
nmemis installed - Mode: local or remote (with API URL)
- Database: whether the knowledge graph is connected
Troubleshooting
If status fails:
- Ensure the Nowledge Mem desktop app is running, or start the server manually
- Check that
nmemis installed:pip install nmem-clior useuvx --from nmem-cli nmem - For remote mode, verify
~/.nowledge-mem/config.jsonhas correctapiUrlandapiKey
Native Plugin
These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem plugin — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
search-memory
Search your personal knowledge base when past insights would improve response. Recognize when stored breakthroughs, decisions, or solutions are relevant. Search proactively based on context, not just explicit requests.
check-integration
Check Nowledge Mem setup, detect your agent, and guide native plugin installation. Use when the user asks about setup, configuration, or when memory tools aren't working as expected.
distill-memory
Capture breakthrough moments and valuable insights as searchable memories in your knowledge base.
read-working-memory
Read your daily Working Memory briefing to understand current context. Contains active focus areas, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent knowledge changes. Load this automatically at the beginning of sessions for cross-tool continuity.
save-handoff
Save a concise handoff summary only when the user explicitly requests it. Use this for resumable progress notes in generic agent environments where a real session importer is not guaranteed.
save-thread
Deprecated compatibility skill. In generic npx skills environments this must degrade honestly to a resumable handoff, because real transcript-backed thread import is not guaranteed. Prefer save-handoff here, and use native integrations when you need actual session capture.
