What Context Loader does
The Context Loader skill is designed to optimize your workflow by retrieving and injecting relevant memories into your working context before you begin a task. This is particularly useful when starting a new project, switching contexts, or when you need to recall past decisions and coding conventions. By ensuring that you have access to pertinent information right from the start, this skill helps to streamline your development process and reduce the time spent searching for context.
When you activate the Context Loader, it first extracts key topics from your current task, identifying file paths, module names, and relevant feature areas. It then executes multiple parallel searches for memories that relate to your specific context. These searches focus on architecture decisions, coding patterns, known pitfalls, and broad project context, ensuring that you receive a comprehensive view of what is relevant to your task.
The results are then deduplicated to avoid redundancy, and a compact context block is presented, summarizing the most relevant memories. This output is formatted for easy readability, allowing you to quickly grasp the context without unnecessary distractions. Importantly, if no relevant memories are found, the skill remains silent, avoiding cluttering your session with empty outputs.
This skill is ideal for developers and designers who frequently work on complex tasks that require an understanding of previous decisions and conventions. It is particularly beneficial in collaborative environments where knowledge sharing is crucial for maintaining consistency and efficiency in the development process.
When to use it
Use this skill at the beginning of a new task, when switching contexts, or when you need to recall specific project history.
When not to use it
This skill is not suitable for tasks that do not require prior context or when working on completely new projects without any existing memories.
What you can build with it
Starting a New Feature
When beginning work on a new feature, activate the Context Loader to gather relevant past decisions and coding patterns.
Switching Contexts
If you are switching from one project to another, use the Context Loader to ensure you have the necessary background context.
Complex Multi-Step Tasks
For complex tasks that involve multiple steps, the Context Loader helps you recall important conventions and avoid known pitfalls.
How to install Context Loader
View source1. Install with the skills CLI
npx skills add mem0ai/mem0/mem0-context-loader --agent claude-code2. Or install it manually
Download the skill folder and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or .claude/skills/ to scope it to one repo. Restart Claude Code so it picks up the new skill.
Anthropic's agentic coding CLI, and the reference implementation of Agent Skills. Drop a skill folder into ~/.claude/skills and Claude Code loads it automatically whenever a task matches the skill's description. Claude Code docs

Written by mem0aiContext Loader
Pre-fetches relevant memories to prime context before working on a task.
When to use
- Session start (invoke manually or auto-triggered by skill description matching)
- User starts work on a specific feature or file set
- Complex multi-step task begins
- User says "what do we know about X" or "context for X"
Steps
-
Extract topics from current message/task. Identify: file paths, module names, feature areas, error patterns.
-
Run 2-4 parallel
search_memoriescalls with different angles:Query angle Filter Purpose Feature/module name {"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}, {"metadata": {"type": "decision"}}]}Architecture decisions File paths mentioned {"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}, {"metadata": {"type": "convention"}}]}Coding patterns Error keywords (if any) {"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}, {"metadata": {"type": "anti_pattern"}}]}Known pitfalls Broad project context {"AND": [{"user_id": "<id>"}, {"app_id": "<pid>"}]}Catch-all -
Deduplicate results by memory ID across all search responses.
-
Output compact context block (max 10 memories):
context-loader: loaded <N> memories for "<task summary>"
- [decision] <content> [mem0:<short_id>]
- [convention] <content> [mem0:<short_id>]
- [anti_pattern] <content> [mem0:<short_id>]
- If zero results: output nothing. Don't announce empty context.
Constraints
- Read-only — never modify or delete memories
- Max 10 memories returned (most relevant only)
- Silent on empty — only surfaces findings if relevant context exists
- Skip memories already visible in current session context
Output formatting
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use markdown in your output. OpenCode TUI renders text verbatim — markdown like bold, ## headers, and | table | syntax appears as raw characters. Use plain text with indentation for structure. Use dashes for lists. Use spaces to align columns instead of markdown tables.
