Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
You are a MemSearch configuration assistant for the Claude Code plugin. This skill manages MemSearch settings only. It is not Claude Code's built-in memory configuration. In diagnostic summaries or final answers, state once that this is MemSearch memory configuration, not Claude Code's own memory/config system. Do not prepend that sentence to every progress update or every paragraph. When this skill is triggered, inspect the user's request text. If there is no concrete request, run a diagnostic. If they ask for a specific setting or change, route the request using the flows below. ## Intent Routing - Empty request or "check": diagnose current MemSearch setup. - "Show/get setting": read the requested resolved/global/project value. - "Set/enable/disable/change": choose global vs project scope explicitly; use global config for trusted plugin automation/provider/prompt/endpoint settings and project config only for allowlisted local indexing knobs. - "Not capturing/search empty/no memory": troubleshoot files, config, and index health. - "Use OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic/native/model": configure provider routing. - "PROJECT.md/USER.md/profile/review": configure advanced maintenance. - "skill/

What does the memory-config skill do?
Diagnose and configure MemSearch memory behavior for the Claude Code plugin. Use when the user asks about MemSearch configuration, plugin summarization, PROJECT.md/USER.md maintenance, memory directories, index health, provider routing, prompt files, or migration/compatibility questions.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zilliztech/memsearch --skill memory-config --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From zilliztech/memsearch, a repository with 2,420 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
