๐Ÿ”— GitHub: https://github.com/zilliztech/memsearch ๐ŸŽฌ Previous MemSearch video: Using Open-Source memsearch, Giving Your AI Agents Persistent, Human-Readable Memory: https://youtu.be/bf9eiFEs1JA Memory to Skill is a MemSearch feature that distills recurring workflows from persistent agent memory into reusable skill candidates. It learns from historical user-agent interactions, keeps the source journals behind every candidate, and gives users control over which skills are installed. Why Memory to Skill: โœฆ Workflow distillation โ€” turns repeated agent workflows into reusable skill candidates โœฆ Outcome-driven learning โ€” learns from completed work, not only repeated prompts โœฆ Human-readable evidence โ€” keeps the original Markdown journals available for review โœฆ Continuous evolution โ€” revises, improves, and consolidates candidates as new memory arrives โœฆ Human-in-the-loop control โ€” lets users inspect revision history before installation โœฆ Flexible installation โ€” supports project-level or global agent skill directories In this video, we show how to enable Memory to Skill in Codex, inspect the journals recorded by MemSearch, review two candidate skills mined from everyday agent use, install them in a project-level skill directory, restart Codex, and use a newly installed skill in a real workflow. โœจ If MemSearch is helpful to you, we would really appreciate a star on GitHub. We would also love to hear your thoughts, use cases, and feedback.
