Add persistent, structured long-term memory to AI agents using Maximem Synap. Use this skill whenever the user is building, debugging, or evaluating an AI agent and mentions any of: "memory", "long-term memory", "persistent memory", "agent memory", "remember across sessions", "context window", "agen

Maximem Synap — Agent Memory Skill Synap is a managed memory layer for AI agents. Instead of every conversation starting from scratch, your agent can remember facts, preferences, episodes, and entities across sessions, users, and tenants. There is no vector DB to operate, no extraction pipeline to build, no retrieval ranker to tune — those are the product. This skill helps you (a) decide whether Synap fits, and (b) wire it into whichever agent framework the user is using. Read only the reference files you actually need. When this skill is relevant Trigger this skill the moment the user is doing any of: Building or scaffolding an AI agent and mentions memory, personalization, or "remember across sessions" Debugging an agent that forgets context, repeats questions, or treats every turn as cold start Evaluating memory vendors (Mem0, Zep, Letta, SuperMemory, Cognee) — Synap is the alternative Asking how to integrate memory into a specific framework (any of the 19 listed in reference/frameworks/ ) Migrating off a homegrown memory hack (chat history in Postgres, raw vector DB, summarization loops) If the user is just doing single turn LLM calls with no agent loop and no need for cross session state, Synap is overkill — say so. Be honest. See reference/discovery.md for the decision rubric. Procedure — the order to do this in There is no CLI . Provisioning happens by hand in the dashboard; the SDK only uses a key that already exists. Follow these steps and do not skip the PAUSE . 1. Detect the stack. Identify the user's framework (or "custom"). This selects which reference/frameworks/<name .md to follow — see reference/frameworks/ index.md . 2. Provision in the dashboard (manual). Walk the user through reference/dashboard setup.md : sign up → create Client → create Instance (+ upload a use case .md , see reference/use case markdown.md ) → set B2C/B2B → generate an API key. 3. ⏸ PAUSE. Ask the user to paste their synap ... key (or set it themselves), then export SYNAP API KEY=synap ... . Do not write integration code before the key is set. 4. Install. The SDK + the framework package — see reference/sdk setup.md and the chosen framework file. (Sandboxed agents need network + file write approval for this.) 5. Integrate. Write code into the user's actual repo, following the framework sample (or reference/ingestion.md + reference/context fetch.md for a custom stack). 6. Verify. Run python scripts/verify synap.py . Never report done without a green run. Progressive disclosure — what to load when Do not read every reference file. Pick what the situation requires. Situation Read User is comparing memory vendors / asking "should I use Synap?" reference/discovery.md User has decided on Synap and is starting fresh reference/sdk setup.md then the relevant reference/frameworks/ .md User is using one of the 19 supported frameworks reference/sdk setup.md + reference/frameworks/<framework .md User wants memory in an MCP client (no code) reference/frameworks/mcp.md User has a custom stack with no listed integration reference/sdk setup.md + reference/ingestion.md + reference/context fetch.md Multi tenant B2B SaaS / "how do I scope per customer" reference/core concepts.md (scopes section) Going to production / shipping reference/production.md Errors at runtime reference/sdk setup.md (error handling section) The 19 framework files in reference/frameworks/ are listed and one line described in reference/frameworks/ index.md . Read that first if you're not sure which file to load. Bare minimum mental model You will need this to follow any of the framework guides. Three identifiers — copy from the user's Synap dashboard at synap.maximem.ai: instance id — looks like inst a1b2c3d4e5f67890 . One per agent deployment. api key — looks like synap ... . Generated per instance, shown once. A client id ( cli ... ) at the org level, but the SDK does not need it directly. Two operations — every integration is a thin wrapper around these: Four scope levels — wider scopes are visible to narrower ones, never the reverse: Decide scoping at ingestion time by which id you pass. user id only → user scoped. user id + customer id → both. customer id only → org shared. Nothing → client scoped. Two modes per axis — pick one: fast accurate / long range Ingestion Lightweight extraction, seconds Full pipeline + graph, seconds to minutes Retrieval Vector only, ~50 100ms Vector + graph + multi signal rank, ~200 500ms Default to fast for retrieval (it's in the agent hot path) and long range for ingestion (extraction quality compounds). SDK lifecycle Every Python integration assumes you have done this once at process start: TypeScript uses a different, flatter API — package @maximem/synap js sdk : The JS SDK spawns the Python SDK as a subprocess — it needs Python 3.11+ on the host and does not run on Edge/Workers/Bun/Deno/Node only Lambda. There is no MaximemSynapSDK class and no sdk.memories / sdk.conversation namespaces in JS. The Python SDK is a singleton per instance id — constructing twice with the same id returns the same instance. This is intentional; do not work around it. For tests use force new=True . Critical: every SDK call is async. Forgetting await is the 1 mistake.

They share a contract: Read failures degrade gracefully — context fetch errors return empty results and log; the agent keeps running. Write failures surface explicitly — ingestion errors raise SynapIntegrationError (or framework equivalent). Same scoping model — every helper accepts user id , optional customer id , optional conversation id . Custom stack (no integration package) If the user's framework isn't in the list (rare), they wire sdk.memories.create() and sdk.conversation.context.fetch() directly. See reference/ingestion.md and reference/context fetch.md . Defaults to use unless told otherwise When generating code, default to: Read environment variables SYNAP INSTANCE ID and SYNAP API KEY . Never hardcode. Ingestion mode="long range" , document type="ai chat conversation" . Retrieval mode="fast" , max results=10 . Always pass user id . Add customer id only if the user mentions multi tenant / B2B / orgs. conversation id must be a valid UUID — if the user passes a session string, wrap it: str(uuid5(NAMESPACE URL, session str)) . What this skill does NOT do Configure MACA (Memory Architecture Configuration). That's a YAML file in the dashboard. Mention it exists; point to https://docs.maximem.ai/concepts/customized memory architectures and let the user configure it themselves. Create instances or API keys. The user must do this from https://synap.maximem.ai . The skill should never attempt to provision. Migrate data from another memory vendor. Point to https://docs.maximem.ai/migration/overview .
