Is the Memory Loop skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from yucai0302/memory-loop. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Memory Loop SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Memory Loop?

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 Memory Loop 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.

Memory Loop

Structured project-memory writer for .claude/memory/MEMORY.md — but ships as a plugin, not a bare skill.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 1f19e3c

Confirmed live: copying only skills/memory-loop/ leaves .claude/memory/ empty because schema.yaml and MEMORY.md.tpl are bootstrapped by hooks/session-start.sh (a SessionStart hook outside the skill folder) — the README is upfront that the real install path is `/plugin install`, not a bare skill copy, so this is friction, not deception.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Memory Loop does

Writes structured entries (Completed, Decisions, Gotchas, Active Goals) into a project's .claude/memory/MEMORY.md following a schema, meant to run at the end of a work unit or on explicit 'save memory' requests. Designed as a Claude Code plugin: a SessionStart hook bootstraps the schema/memory files and injects them into context, and a Stop hook warns on compression thresholds — none of which exist if only the skill folder is copied.

How to install Memory Loop

git clone https://github.com/yucai0302/memory-loop
cd memory-loop
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/memory-loop ~/.claude/skills/memory-loop

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

Commands — how to trigger Memory Loop

/memory-loop Structured project-memory writer for .claude/memory/MEMORY.md — but ships as a plugin, not a bare skill.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

We just shipped JWT auth over sessions, save that decision to memory
Log today's completed work and gotchas into our project memory file
Record this architectural decision so we remember it next session
