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 import the current session. Use claude-code in Claude Code and grok in Grok Build:

# Save current session for current project
nmem t save --from claude-code
# In Grok Build:
nmem t save --from grok

# Save with custom summary
nmem t save --from claude-code -s "Brief summary of what was accomplished"
# In Grok Build:
nmem t save --from grok -s "Brief summary of what was accomplished"

# Save all sessions for current project
nmem t save --from claude-code -m all
# In Grok Build:
nmem t save --from grok -m all

# Save for specific project path
nmem t save --from claude-code -p /path/to/project
# In Grok Build:
nmem t save --from grok -p /path/to/project

Options:

• --from: Source app (claude-code for Claude Code, grok for Grok Build)
• -s, --summary: Optional brief summary (recommended)
• -m, --mode: current (default, latest session) or all (all sessions)
• -p, --project: Project directory path (defaults to current directory)
• --truncate: Truncate large tool results (>10KB)

Behavior:

• Auto-detects sessions from ~/.claude/projects/ for Claude Code or ~/.grok/sessions/ for Grok Build
• Idempotent: Re-running appends only new messages
• Thread ID: Auto-generated as claude-code-{session_id} or grok-{session_id}

Thread vs Memory

Thread = real session messages | Memory = distilled insights (different purposes, can do both)

Response

✓ Thread saved
Summary: {summary}
Messages: {count}
Thread ID: claude-code-{session_id} or grok-{session_id}

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.
