What is the MemSearch Memory Config SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install MemSearch Memory Config?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use MemSearch Memory Config with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 10, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 5b5a2e3

Ran the skill's own diagnostic command block for real: memsearch and uv/uvx are both absent from this machine's PATH, which immediately pinpoints 'MemSearch isn't installed' as the root cause instead of baseline's generic troubleshooting guesses — but the documented uv fallback command itself (`uvx --from memsearch[onnx] memsearch --version`) breaks under zsh with 'no matches found: memsearch[onnx]' because the brackets aren't quoted, a real bug in the docs.

What MemSearch Memory Config does

Diagnoses and configures MemSearch, a third-party memory/indexing plugin for Claude Code, covering config scope (global vs project), provider routing, PROJECT.md/USER.md maintenance, and index health via the memsearch CLI. Triggers on MemSearch-specific requests — empty memory folders, provider switching, prompt overrides, migration questions — and explicitly states it is not Claude Code's own built-in memory system.

How to install MemSearch Memory Config

git clone https://github.com/zilliztech/memsearch
cd memsearch
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/claude-code/skills/memory-config ~/.claude/skills/memory-config

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger MemSearch Memory Config

/memory-config Diagnoses and configures MemSearch's memory, indexing, and provider settings.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Diagnose why MemSearch isn't indexing my project memory
Switch MemSearch's provider routing to a different provider
Update PROJECT.md and USER.md for MemSearch configuration
