Claude Code

Connect

1. Open FishMem Desktop.
2. Open Codex & Claude.
3. Select Connect to Claude Code.
4. Restart Claude Code so it discovers the newly installed Skill.

Desktop installs the Skill at:

~/.claude/skills/fishmem

The same local fishmem command used by Codex communicates with the running Desktop app.

Verify

Ask Claude Code:

Remember that releases require the integration test suite.

Then start a new session and ask what it remembers about the release process. You can also inspect the exact stored text in FishMem Desktop.

Runtime requirement

FishMem Desktop must be running. The CLI uses an authenticated private local socket and deliberately has no fallback store. A closed app therefore produces an explicit connection error rather than splitting your memory across two databases.

FishMem does not install an MCP server for Claude Code.
