mem-search — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited mem-search (Agent Skill) and scored it 74/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 3 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Search past work across all sessions. Simple workflow: search -> filter -> fetch.
Use when users ask about PREVIOUS sessions (not current conversation):
NEVER fetch full details without filtering first. 10x token savings.
Use the search MCP tool:
search(query="authentication", limit=20, project="my-project")Returns: Table with IDs, timestamps, types, titles (~50-100 tokens/result)
| ID | Time | T | Title | Read |
|----|------|---|-------|------|
| #11131 | 3:48 PM | 🟣 | Added JWT authentication | ~75 |
| #10942 | 2:15 PM | 🔴 | Fixed auth token expiration | ~50 |Parameters:
query (string) - Search termlimit (number) - Max results, default 20, max 100project (string) - Project name filtertype (string, optional) - "observations", "sessions", or "prompts"obs_type (string, optional) - Comma-separated: bugfix, feature, decision, discovery, changedateStart (string, optional) - YYYY-MM-DD or epoch msdateEnd (string, optional) - YYYY-MM-DD or epoch msoffset (number, optional) - Skip N resultsorderBy (string, optional) - "date_desc" (default), "date_asc", "relevance"Use the timeline MCP tool:
timeline(anchor=11131, depth_before=3, depth_after=3, project="my-project")Or find anchor automatically from query:
timeline(query="authentication", depth_before=3, depth_after=3, project="my-project")Returns: depth_before + 1 + depth_after items in chronological order with observations, sessions, and prompts interleaved around the anchor.
Parameters:
anchor (number, optional) - Observation ID to center aroundquery (string, optional) - Find anchor automatically if anchor not provideddepth_before (number, optional) - Items before anchor, default 5, max 20depth_after (number, optional) - Items after anchor, default 5, max 20project (string) - Project name filterReview titles from Step 1 and context from Step 2. Pick relevant IDs. Discard the rest.
Use the get_observations MCP tool:
get_observations(ids=[11131, 10942])ALWAYS use `get_observations` for 2+ observations - single request vs N requests.
Parameters:
ids (array of numbers, required) - Observation IDs to fetchorderBy (string, optional) - "date_desc" (default), "date_asc"limit (number, optional) - Max observations to returnproject (string, optional) - Project name filterReturns: Complete observation objects with title, subtitle, narrative, facts, concepts, files (~500-1000 tokens each)
Find recent bug fixes:
search(query="bug", type="observations", obs_type="bugfix", limit=20, project="my-project")Find what happened last week:
search(type="observations", dateStart="2025-11-11", limit=20, project="my-project")Understand context around a discovery:
timeline(anchor=11131, depth_before=5, depth_after=5, project="my-project")Batch fetch details:
get_observations(ids=[11131, 10942, 10855], orderBy="date_desc")Want synthesized answers instead of raw records? Use /knowledge-agent to build a queryable corpus from your observation history. The knowledge agent reads all matching observations and answers questions conversationally.
