name: cass-memory description: Cross-agent learning with cm (cass-memory). Use before starting non-trivial tasks, when looking for patterns from past work, when the user mentions "cm", "memory", "learned rules", or "what do we know about".

cass-memory (cm)

Cross-agent learning system. Extracts patterns, rules, and anti-patterns from past sessions.

When This Applies

Signal	Action
Starting non-trivial task	cm context
"What do we know about X?"	cm context
Looking for patterns	cm context
Anti-patterns to avoid	cm context
Health check	cm doctor

---

Primary Command

Before starting any non-trivial task:

cm context "your task description" --json

This returns:

• Relevant rules from the playbook
• Historical context from past sessions
• Anti-patterns to avoid
• Suggested searches for deeper investigation

---

Example Usage

# Before implementing authentication
cm context "implement OAuth login" --json

# Before database work
cm context "add new database migration" --json

# Before refactoring
cm context "refactor the payment module" --json

---

What You Get Back

{
  "rules": ["Always use parameterized queries", "..."],
  "context": ["Previous auth implementation used JWT...", "..."],
  "anti_patterns": ["Don't store tokens in localStorage", "..."],
  "suggested_searches": ["cass search 'OAuth implementation' --robot"]
}

---

Health Check

cm doctor

---

How It Works

The system learns automatically from your sessions:

1. Sessions are indexed by CASS
2. cm extracts patterns, rules, and anti-patterns
3. cm context retrieves relevant learned knowledge

You don't need to:

• Manually run reflection/learning steps
• Manually add rules to the playbook
• Worry about the learning pipeline

When to Use cm vs CASS

Need	Use
Learned patterns and rules	cm context
Raw session content	cass search
Specific session details	cass view / cass expand

---

Quick Reference

cm context "task description" --json   # Get context before task
cm doctor                              # Health check

---

Best Practices

Practice	Why
Query before non-trivial work	Get patterns + anti-patterns
Be specific in task description	Better relevance
Check suggested searches	May reveal useful history
