Deshraj YadavandClaude Fable 5 3ea00cf88c feat(mem0-agent): read path, hooks, maintenance, CLI and skills
- pack.py: single-call context pack, budgeted, sanitized, cached, with
  served-id tracking that turns a citation into POSITIVE feedback
- assist.py: error-signature lookup (never raw stdout, which returned 0 results in v1)
- maintain.py: transactional consolidation (add merged -> verify -> delete sources)
- transcript.py: JSONL parsing into non-overlapping windows via a cursor
- cli.py: the twelve commands the hooks invoke; detached assist queues a block
  that the next prompt hook drains, keeping the hot path network-free
- hooks generated from one spec; plugin manifest, MCP wiring, five skills

config Show or change how aggressively mem0 captures and retrieves memories, and switch between dual and full memory mode. Use when the user says mem0 is storing too much or too little, wants fewer or more memories injected, or asks about memory settings.

Configure memory behavior

Two dials and one mode. Show the current state first, then change only what was asked for.

mem0-agent config                      # show everything
mem0-agent config --capture <level>    # conservative | balanced | aggressive
mem0-agent config --retrieval <level>  # conservative | balanced | aggressive
mem0-agent config --mode <mode>        # dual | full

capture — what gets stored

Level Captures
conservative explicit "remember this", and corrections only
balanced (default) + decisions and root-caused gotchas
aggressive + completed goals and procedures the assistant proposes

Mechanical noise — progress updates, ETAs, heartbeats, file lists, repo-file contents — is dropped at every level. That is not configurable, because storing it is what made the previous version useless.

retrieval — what gets injected

Level Injects
conservative pins, preferences and the open thread (~600 tokens); no error lookups
balanced (default) the full pack (≤1500 tokens) and high-confidence error lookups
aggressive a larger pack (≤2500 tokens) and more eager error lookups

mode — how mem0 coexists with repo memory files

  • dual — CLAUDE.md and friends stay authoritative for repo-local notes; mem0 handles durable, cross-machine knowledge.
  • full — mem0 is the only memory layer; writes to MEMORY.md are blocked and native auto-memory should be turned off.

Mode is stored per project, so a repo with a curated CLAUDE.md can stay dual while another goes full.

Guidance

If the user complains about noise in their context, lower retrieval before touching capture — the corpus is usually fine and the injection is what they're feeling. If they say memories are missing, check mem0-agent stats first: a memory written minutes ago is still being extracted, and extraction is asynchronous.
