cman — Agentic Memory for Claude Code
Your memory is already there. cman just searches it agentically.
No external database, no API keys, no extra storage. cman gives Claude search over your existing sessions, plans, and memory files — and lets it summarize what matters.
Installation
/plugin marketplace add laiso/cman
/plugin install cman@cman
How it works
Just ask Claude naturally:
> What did I do yesterday?
> What did I work on last week?
> Where was that auth-related work?
Claude automatically searches your sessions, plans, and memory files — then summarizes the results.
You can also use skills directly:
| Skill | Scope | Purpose |
|---|
/remember … | All projects | Search and summarize past sessions (e.g. /remember FOO BAR for keywords) |
/cm-status | Current project | Quick overview of plans, sessions, and memory (all for everything) |
The remember skill is the primary search command (/remember). With the plugin enabled, the palette may show the namespaced form (e.g. cman:remember). Workflow text lives in skills/cm-search/SKILL.md for now; the legacy cm-search skill name is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. cm-status may appear as cman:cm-status in the same way.
