Memory MCP Live Testing Skill

Run /test-memory to start a guided testing session. Walk through each phase, execute tests, and track results.

Prerequisites

Install memory-mcp from the marketplace:

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add michael-denyer/memory-mcp

# Install the plugin
/plugin install memory-mcp@michael-denyer/memory-mcp

Or install directly:

/plugin install github:michael-denyer/memory-mcp

Phases

---

Phase 1: Core Memory Operations

1.1 Remember - Store test memories:

remember("Test: FastAPI with async endpoints", memory_type="project", tags=["test", "tech-stack"])
remember("Test: Always use uv run pytest -v", memory_type="pattern", tags=["test", "commands"])
remember("Test: API rate limit 100 req/min", memory_type="reference", tags=["test", "api"])

Record the returned IDs for later tests.

1.2 Recall - Semantic search (use different phrasings):

• "what framework for backend" → should find FastAPI
• "how to run tests" → should find pytest
• "request throttling" → should find rate limit

Verify confidence levels returned.

1.3 Recall Modes - Compare precision vs exploratory:

• recall("testing", mode="precision") → fewer, higher-confidence
• recall("testing", mode="exploratory") → more results

1.4 Recall by Tag:

• recall_by_tag("test") → should return all test memories

1.5 Forget - Delete one test memory and verify it's gone.

Phase 2: Hot Cache Mechanics

2.1 Manual Promotion:

• promote(memory_id) one of the test memories
• hot_cache_status() → verify it appears

2.2 Manual Demotion:

• demote(memory_id)
• Verify removed from hot cache but still recallable

2.3 Pin/Unpin:

• pin(memory_id) → pinned_count increases
• unpin(memory_id) → pinned_count decreases

2.4 Auto-Promotion (optional - requires multiple recalls):

• Create a memory and recall it 3+ times
• Check if auto-promoted

Phase 3: Knowledge Graph

3.1 Create Linked Memories:

remember("Test: Database uses PostgreSQL") → ID: A
remember("Test: pgvector for embeddings") → ID: B
remember("Test: Vector search needs pgvector") → ID: C
link_memories(A, B, "relates_to")
link_memories(B, C, "depends_on")
