Save the current Claude Code session into MemPalace. Idempotent — won't dupe.

/save

Save the current Claude Code session into MemPalace. Run this when you want a checkpoint. Safe to run repeatedly — drawer IDs are content-hashed so re-running on the same session overwrites in place, no duplicates.

Behavior:

1. Find the current session's JSONL transcript path (Claude Code passes it via the conversation context — look for ~/.claude/projects/ paths).

2. Run via bash:

   mempalace mine "<TRANSCRIPT_PATH>" --mode convos --wing claude_imports
   

3. If the user supplied an argument after /save, use it as the wing name instead of claude_imports (e.g. /save my_research → --wing my_research).

4. Report back: how many drawers were filed, into which wing/room.

Requires mempalace to be installed (uv tool install mempalace recommended, or pip install mempalace).

For the full setup and retention checklist, including hooks, JSONL backup, and one-time backfill, see website/guide/claude-code-retention.md.
