Version History

v0.5.3Mar 13, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

org-memory 0.5.3 - Added support for ORG_MEMORY_AGENT_ROAM_DIR and ORG_MEMORY_HUMAN_ROAM_DIR environment variables. - Updated documentation to reflect new environment variable requirements. - Updated plugin configuration files for enhanced org-roam directory handling. - Dependency versions updated in package files.

What This Skill Does

Manages a structured knowledge base and task list using org-mode plain-text files. The `org` CLI creates, queries, links, and searches notes and tasks, backed by a SQLite database via org-roam. Shortcut keywords like `Todo:`, `Note:`, `Know:`, and `Done:` let the agent act on natural-language input directly.

All data stays in plain-text org files the user can read, edit, and version-control without any proprietary tool.

When to use it

  • Adding a deadline-aware task from a spoken request
  • Storing a persistent fact the agent should recall in a later session
  • Marking a completed task as done by name
  • Capturing an idea or reminder into an inbox file
  • Searching linked notes to retrieve context from prior sessions

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

  3. 3Receive JSON confirmation with the new headline's CUSTOM_ID
  4. 4Print 'org-memory: added TODO to ~/org/human/inbox.org'
