Awareness Cloud Memory

You have access to persistent cloud memory. Memory persists across sessions, devices, and projects.

Privacy & Data

This skill communicates with an external API to provide memory functionality:

• - Before each prompt: Your prompt text is sent to the configured Awareness API endpoint (default: awareness.market) to retrieve relevant past context via semantic search.
• After each response: A brief session checkpoint (tool name, no full conversation) is sent to record activity.
• Credentials: API key and memory ID are stored in ~/.awareness/credentials.json (file permissions 0600). The setup script can optionally write environment variables to your shell profile.
• Local mode: If you run a local daemon (localhost:37800), all data stays on your machine — nothing is sent externally.
• No secrets captured: The skill never reads, stores, or transmits file contents, environment variables, or credentials from your system beyond its own API key.

You can review the scripts in this skill folder before use. Source code: https://github.com/edwin-hao-ai/Awareness-SDK

Automatic Hooks (no action needed)

Hooks run automatically — you don't need to do anything:

• - Before each prompt: Past context is injected as <awareness-memory> XML
• After each response: A checkpoint is saved to memory

Manual Tools

When you need more control beyond automatic hooks, use these Bash commands. All scripts are at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/.

1. Initialize Session

Load cross-session context (summaries, tasks, knowledge cards):

CODEBLOCK0

Call this ONCE at session start if the auto-recall didn't provide enough context.

2. Search Memory (awareness_recall)

Semantic + keyword hybrid search for past decisions, solutions, and knowledge:

CODEBLOCK1

Parameters:

• - keyword_query — 2-5 precise terms (file names, function names, error codes)
• INLINECODE6 — all (default), timeline, knowledge, insights
• INLINECODE7 — max results (default 6, max 30)
• INLINECODE8 — hybrid (default), precise, session, structured, auto
• INLINECODE9 — weight for semantic search (default 0.7)
• INLINECODE10 — weight for keyword search (default 0.3)
• INLINECODE11 — broader context across sessions
• INLINECODE12 — topic-based context expansion
• INLINECODE13 — summary (lightweight) or full (complete content)
• INLINECODE14 — expand specific items from a prior summary call
• INLINECODE15 — filter by user

Call BEFORE starting work to avoid re-solving solved problems.

3. Record to Memory (awareness_record)

Save decisions, implementations, and learnings:

CODEBLOCK2

Call AFTER every meaningful action. If you don't record it, it's lost.

4. Lookup Structured Data (awareness_lookup)

Fast DB queries without vector search (<50ms):

CODEBLOCK3

Use lookup instead of search when you know WHAT you want (type-based, not semantic).

5. Get Agent Prompt (sub-agent spawning)

Fetch the activation prompt for a specific agent role:

CODEBLOCK4

Use the returned prompt as the sub-agent's system prompt for memory isolation.

Workflow Checklist

Follow this workflow every session:

1. 1. Session start: Auto-recall hook loads context. If insufficient, run init.js manually.
2. Before work: Search memory for relevant past context with search.js.
3. After each change: Record what you did and WHY with record.js.
4. Handle insights: When you make decisions or identify risks, use --with-insights to create searchable knowledge cards.
5. Session end: Auto-capture hook saves a checkpoint.

Setup

One-click setup (recommended)

Run this command — it opens your browser, you sign in, and everything is configured automatically:

CODEBLOCK5

The setup script will:

1. 1. Open your browser to sign in / register
2. You click "Authorize" — that's it
3. Auto-create or select a memory
4. Write AWARENESS_API_KEY and AWARENESS_MEMORY_ID to your shell profile

Other setup commands:
CODEBLOCK6

Manual setup (alternative)

Set environment variables directly:

CODEBLOCK7

Local mode (privacy-first, no account needed)

CODEBLOCK8

Not configured?

If the auto-recall hook outputs nothing (no <awareness-memory> block appears), the skill is not configured. Run the setup script above or tell the user to run it.
