Fetch the full content of a specific memory. This is the only tool that returns content. Each read is tracked in the memory_accesses table.

Search memory and return full content for the top results in a single call. Use this instead of memory_search + memory_read to reduce round trips.

Returns two lists:

• memories: full content for the top read_k results (default 5)

• also_matched: titles only for remaining results (for follow-up reads if needed)

Call this at the START of every task AND whenever you hit unfamiliar territory mid-task.

Store a new memory. Call this whenever you learn something worth remembering across sessions -- novel insights, decisions, findings, patterns, or debugging solutions. Title (max 150 chars) must be a complete, descriptive thought, not a label. Another instance of you should judge relevance from the title alone. Content max 1500 chars; split larger ideas into multiple memories. Source: manual, conversation, or auto.

Rejects near-duplicates by default (threshold adjustable via claude-crowed threshold CLI). Set force=True to skip the duplicate check entirely.

Update an existing memory, creating a new version. The old version is preserved but removed from the search index. Returns the new version's ID.

Soft-delete a memory. Always confirm with the user before deleting. Deletions are reversible with memory_undelete, but limited to 5 per session as a safety measure.

Restore a soft-deleted memory.

Retrieve all versions of a logical memory. Pass any version ID in the chain.

Browse memories chronologically with cursor-based pagination. Returns titles and metadata only.

Find semantically related memories via embedding similarity. Returns titles only.

Discover and read memory files (CLAUDE.md, auto-memory) for migration into crowed.

Returns file sections split by markdown headers. Review each section and decide whether it contains KNOWLEDGE (store with memory_store) or INSTRUCTIONS (skip).

• With no path: discovers all migratable files (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and auto-memory) and returns their sections.

• With a path: reads and splits that specific file.

This tool does NOT store anything. You review the sections and call memory_store for each piece of knowledge you want to keep. Skip pure instructions.
