What OurMem Bootstrap does

OurMem Bootstrap installs the ourmem/omem plugin, creates an API key, and sets up the ourmem skill. Use it once to connect a client, then the installed skill handles ongoing memory workflows.

OurMem Bootstrap is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. OurMem Bootstrap comes from a repository tagged ai-agent, ai-memory, claude-code, lancedb and llm.

Documentation

README

Already installed? If ourmem is already installed and working, you don't need this document. Your installed ourmem skill has all the operational knowledge (sharing, import, analytics, etc.).

ourmem (omem) Bootstrap Installer

ourmem gives AI agents shared persistent memory across sessions, devices, agents, and teams. This guide installs everything in ~2 minutes.

Step 0: Choose Mode

Ask the user before doing anything:

How would you like to set up ourmem?

  1. Hosted (api.ourmem.ai) — nothing to deploy, start immediately
  2. Self-hosted — your own server, data stays local

Already have an API key? Paste it and I'll reconnect you.

If reconnecting, verify the existing key first:

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
