Created a two-part system for saving session learnings to cognitive memory.

Components

Command (~/.claude/commands/save-memories.md):

• Runs inline with full conversation context
• Finds cutoff point (last memory_store call) to avoid duplicates
• Analyzes conversation after cutoff point
• Builds structured summary with all session items
• Spawns memory-saver agent in background via Skill tool

Agent (~/.claude/agents/memory-saver.md):

• Runs on haiku model
• Receives structured summary as prompt
• Stores each item via MCP tools (with CLI fallback)
• Handles mechanical storage work

Workflow

1. User calls /save-memories at session end
2. Command analyzes full conversation context
3. Command creates structured summary of learnings
4. Command spawns agent in background with Task tool and run_in_background=true
5. User gets control back immediately
6. Agent processes items asynchronously

Advantages

• Replaces manual end-of-session memory saving
• Command handles context-dependent analysis
• Agent handles time-consuming storage operations
• Clean separation of concerns (context vs. mechanics)
• User not blocked waiting for storage to complete
