Claude skills for memory

Q: How do I add para memory files to Claude?

For memory, copy the para-memory-files folder from paperclipai/paperclip (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. For the Claude apps, upload the zipped folder as a custom skill instead.

The 50 strongest of 739 memory skills on GitHub. Skills built for memory come first; no repository gets more than 3 spots. Each links to its folder; copy it into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it.

para memory files
Use a file-based PARA memory system to store, retrieve, and organize durable knowledge across sessions. Trigger on saving facts, daily notes, entity records, weekly synthesis, recall, tacit user patterns, or plan memory.

Claude skills for memory: common questions

What's the best Claude skill for memory?

Yes: 739 public skills from 340 GitHub repositories mention memory. The best-known ones named for it are para memory files (paperclipai/paperclip, ★ 109k), agent memory mcp (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, ★ 49k) and agent memory discipline (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, ★ 49k). Stars belong to the whole repository, not to one skill.

How do I add para memory files to Claude?

For memory, copy the para-memory-files folder from paperclipai/paperclip (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. For the Claude apps, upload the zipped folder as a custom skill instead.

Skill or MCP server for memory: which do I need?

A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to memory itself. We list 729 MCP servers for memory if you need the connection.

Are there memory skills in other languages?

No: 3 of those listed, such as memory detective and light memory pm, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the memory task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.

How recently were memory skills updated?

527 of the 739 memory skills sit in repositories that changed in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026.
