memory init

memory init bootstraps or refreshes Memory Layer for a repository.

Use it when you want the low-level bootstrap step without the interactive wizard.

Common Usage

memory init
memory init --project memory
memory init --force
memory init --dry-run
memory upgrade --dry-run

What It Does

  • creates or repairs the user-local project config/state directories
  • creates or repairs the tiny repo-local .mem/project.toml marker
  • creates or repairs .agents/memory-layer.toml
  • installs or refreshes the bundled repo-local Memory Layer skills
  • can preview the planned file writes with --dry-run

The installed skill bundle includes:

  • memory-layer
  • memory-project-init
  • memory-github-init
  • memory-query-resume
  • memory-review-proposals
  • memory-plan-execution
  • memory-direct-task-start
  • memory-remember

These are copied from the installed skill-template into .agents/skills/. The umbrella skill and shared Go helper live under .agents/skills/memory-layer/; focused workflow skills live beside it.

Notes

  • prefer memory wizard for the normal guided setup flow
  • use --force only when you intentionally want to replace managed bootstrap files
  • existing .mem/config.toml and .mem/memory-layer.env files are treated as legacy inputs and can be migrated with memory doctor --fix
  • after package upgrades, use memory upgrade to refresh existing repo-local skill copies from the installed template
