SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires psycopg2-binary, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided, step-by-step process for installing and verifying the Anamnesis system, ensuring all prerequisites and configurations are correctly set up for persistent semantic memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Installation: Walks new users through setting up Node.js, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Ollama, and Anamnesis configuration.
  • Health Checks: Verifies the status of all Anamnesis components for existing installations.
  • Automated Verification: Detects installation state and guides users to the first incomplete step or runs a comprehensive health check.
  • Use Case: When you first set up Anamnesis, running /anamnesis_install will guide you through creating the database, configuring settings, and registering MCP servers. If Anamnesis stops working later, running /anamnesis_install again will perform a health check and highlight any issues.

Quick Start

Run /anamnesis_install in your Claude Code session to begin the guided setup or health check.

Frequently Asked Questions about anamnesis_install

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up persistent semantic memory with PostgreSQL and pgvector?▼

Persistent semantic memory setup requires configuring PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension and building the database schema to store embeddings. This skill guides you through creating the database, configuring settings, and building the necessary HNSW index for vector similarity searches.

What do I need to install before setting up the Anamnesis memory system?▼

You need Node.js, a PostgreSQL database with the pgvector extension enabled, and a local Ollama instance running for embeddings. The skill checks these prerequisites automatically and guides you through any missing setup steps before configuring the MCP server.

How do I troubleshoot a broken semantic memory installation?▼

Troubleshooting a broken semantic memory installation involves running a comprehensive health check to verify component status. This skill detects your installation state, validates all configured components, and highlights specific issues with the database, configuration, or MCP registration.

Can I use Ollama for local embeddings instead of external APIs?▼

Yes, Ollama provides local embeddings for the semantic memory system without external API dependencies. The installation process includes verifying your Ollama instance is running and properly configured to handle embedding generation for the persistent memory database.

How do I register an MCP server for persistent memory in Claude Code?▼

Registering an MCP server for persistent memory involves configuring the server connection in your Claude Code session and installing the necessary hooks. This skill automates MCP registration as part of the guided setup, ensuring the semantic memory system integrates correctly.

Why does my pgvector database return errors after initial data backfill?▼

Database errors after data backfill often indicate missing HNSW index creation or incomplete configuration. The health check validates your database state, verifies the HNSW index exists, and guides you through completing any remaining setup steps to ensure proper vector search performance.
