mem0 auto-tags every memory with one or more `categories` from a
project-level list. The default list is consumer-oriented (food,
hobbies, music, ...), which produces meaningless tags for code
workflows.
Per-request `custom_categories` is not supported on the managed API,
so the fix has to be a one-time project-level configuration. New
script `setup_coding_categories.py` does this:
- Dry-run by default: prints current vs proposed taxonomy, exits.
- `--apply` flag actually calls `project.update(custom_categories=...)`.
- Falls back gracefully when mem0ai SDK isn't installed or
MEM0_API_KEY is missing/invalid (friendly error, no stack trace).
Recommended taxonomy:
architecture_decisions, anti_patterns, task_learnings,
tooling_setup, bug_fixes, coding_conventions, user_preferences
Skill clarification: `metadata.type` (agent-applied explicit tag,
used in filters) and `categories` (platform-applied auto-tag, used
in dashboards) are complementary; agent should keep using
`metadata.type` and not try to set `categories` per-request.
README: section under Step 2 explaining how to run the script.
