Mem0 CLI Skill for Claude

Manage memories from the terminal using the Mem0 CLI. This skill teaches Claude how to use every mem0 command, flag, and output mode -- for both the Node.js and Python implementations.

What This Skill Does

When installed, Claude can:

• Run mem0 commands correctly in your terminal (add, search, list, get, update, delete, import, config, init, status, entity, event)
• Construct complex invocations with the right flags, scoping, filters, and output formats
• Pipe and script mem0 commands in shell workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and agent loops
• Debug issues like missing API keys, entity scoping conflicts, and async processing delays
