Build and query AI-powered knowledge bases from claude-mem observations. Use when users want to create focused "brains" from their observation history, ask questions about past work patterns, or compile expertise on specific topics.

Knowledge Agent

Build and query AI-powered knowledge bases from claude-mem observations.

What Are Knowledge Agents?

Knowledge agents are filtered corpora of observations compiled into a conversational AI session. Build a corpus from your observation history, prime it (loads the knowledge into an AI session), then ask it questions conversationally.

Think of them as custom "brains": "everything about hooks", "all decisions from the last month", "all bugfixes for the worker service".

Workflow

Step 1: Build a corpus

text

build_corpus name="hooks-expertise" description="Everything about the hooks lifecycle" project="claude-mem" concepts="hooks" limit=500

Filter options:

```
project
```
— filter by project name
```
types
```
— comma-separated: decision, bugfix, feature, refactor, discovery, change
```
concepts
```
— comma-separated concept tags
```
files
```
— comma-separated file paths (prefix match)
```
query
```
— semantic search query
```
dateStart
```
/
```
dateEnd
```
— ISO date range
```
limit
```
— max observations (default 500)

Step 2: Prime the corpus

text

prime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"

This creates an AI session loaded with all the corpus knowledge. Takes a moment for large corpora.

Step 3: Query

text

query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="What are the 5 lifecycle hooks and when does each fire?"

The knowledge agent answers from its corpus. Follow-up questions maintain context.

Step 4: List corpora

text

list_corpora

Shows all corpora with stats and priming status.

Tips

Focused corpora work best — "hooks architecture" beats "everything ever"
Prime once, query many times — the session persists across queries
Reprime for fresh context — if the conversation drifts, reprime to reset
Rebuild to update — when new observations are added, rebuild then reprime

Maintenance

Rebuild a corpus (refresh with new observations)

text

rebuild_corpus name="hooks-expertise"

After rebuilding, reprime to load the updated knowledge:

Reprime (fresh session)

text

reprime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"

Clears prior Q&A context and reloads the corpus into a new session.
