Mem0 Peek

Quick search with compact output. Lighter than

/mem0:tour

.

Execution

Step 1: Parse query

The user provides a search query:

/mem0:peek auth middleware

If no query provided, ask: "What should I search for?"

Memory ID detection: If the query matches any of these patterns, treat it as a direct memory ID lookup instead of a search:

Bare hex:
```
^[a-f0-9]{8}$
```
(short ID) or
```
^[a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9-]+$
```
(full UUID)
Citation ref:
```
[mem0:<hex>]
```
— extract the hex portion

When an ID is detected:

Call
```
get_memory(<id>)
```
directly (if short ID, try as prefix of full UUID)
If found, skip to Step 3 and display the single result
If not found, fall through to search using the ID as query text

Step 2: Search

Run 2 parallel

search_memories

calls:

Broad:

query=<user's query>

,

filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}]}

,

top_k=10

,

rerank=true

Targeted:

query=<user's query>

,

filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}, {"metadata": {"type": "decision"}}]}

,

top_k=5

,

rerank=true

Step 3: Display

Deduplicate by ID, then show compact results:

## mem0 peek: "<query>" (<N> results)

1. [decision] Auth module uses JWT with RS256 keys (2025-05-15) [mem0:a3f8b2c1]
2. [anti_pattern] Don't use symmetric HS256 — leaked in env (2025-05-10) [mem0:7e2d9f4a]
3. [convention] All middleware in src/middleware/ (2025-05-08) [mem0:c4d5e6f7]

Format:

<number>. [<type>] <content, 80 chars> (<date>) [mem0:<short_id>]

If no results:

No memories matching "<query>" for project <project_id>.
