Save Thread

Save Thread

Save the current Proma session to Nowledge Mem on explicit user request.

When to Save

Save only when the user explicitly requests it:

• "Save this session"
• "Archive this conversation"
• "Record this"
• "Checkpoint this"

The UserPromptSubmit and Stop hooks in ~/.proma/sdk-config/.claude/settings.json handle automatic capture. This skill is for manual saves and for fallback when hooks are not configured.

Usage

Primary (MCP):

mcp__nowledge-mem__save_thread  session_id: "<current session id>"  title: "<optional custom title>"

Manual script (if MCP unavailable):

echo '{"session_id":"<id>","cwd":"<project dir>"}' | python3 ~/.proma/scripts/save-to-nmem.py

Behavior

• Proma sessions are stored as JSONL in ~/.proma/sdk-config/projects/<workspace-hash>/<session-id>.jsonl
• Older Proma builds that write ~/.proma/agent-sessions/<id>.jsonl are still supported by the script
• The save script deduplicates by UUID and extracts text from content blocks
• Thread ID format: proma-{session_id}
• Re-running is idempotent — only new messages are appended

Thread vs Memory

Thread = real session messages (for searching conversation history) Memory = distilled insights (for durable knowledge) Both are useful — save a thread AND distill key learnings.

Troubleshooting

If thread save fails, check ~/.proma/logs/nm-hooks.log for errors. Verify the nmem server is running with nmem status.
