By name: save-thread description: Save the real Claude Code session messages only when the user explicitly requests it. Use nmem t save to import the recorded session, not a summary-only checkpoint.
Save Thread
When to Save
Only when user explicitly says: "Save this session" | "Checkpoint this" | "Record conversation"
Never auto-save or suggest.
Tool Usage
Use nmem t save to automatically import the current Claude Code session:
# Save current session for current project
nmem t save --from claude-code
# Save with custom summary
nmem t save --from claude-code -s "Brief summary of what was accomplished"
# Save all sessions for current project
nmem t save --from claude-code -m all
# Save for specific project path
nmem t save --from claude-code -p /path/to/project
Options:
--from: Source app (claude-codefor Claude Code)-s, --summary: Optional brief summary (recommended)-m, --mode:current(default, latest session) orall(all sessions)-p, --project: Project directory path (defaults to current directory)--truncate: Truncate large tool results (>10KB)
Behavior:
- Auto-detects sessions from
~/.claude/projects/ - Idempotent: Re-running appends only new messages
- Thread ID: Auto-generated as
claude-code-{session_id}
Thread vs Memory
Thread = real session messages | Memory = distilled insights (different purposes, can do both)

Troubleshooting
If nmem is not in PATH: pip install nmem-cli, or on Arch Linux yay -S nmem-cli / paru -S nmem-cli
For remote servers: run nmem config client set url https://... and nmem config client set api-key ... once on this machine.
Run /status to check server connection.
