Ports the OpenClaw "search before answering" protocol to the Cursor and
Claude plugin surfaces so the agent reads the palace before answering
about past work, people, projects, or prior decisions instead of
guessing from model memory.
- integrations/shared/recall-protocol.md: single source of truth for the
recall protocol, referenced by the skill and the rule so they cannot
drift.
- skills/mempalace-recall/SKILL.md: recall-only skill (the mempalace
skill keeps setup/mine/status); cross-linked from the ops skill.
- rules/mempalace-recall.mdc: plugin recall rule, alwaysApply: false so
it only fires on recall-relevant turns and never adds MCP latency to
greenfield work.
- examples/cursor/rules/: opt-in copies for non-plugin users, including
an aggressive alwaysApply: true variant documented with its latency
tradeoff.
- .claude-plugin/skills/mempalace-recall/SKILL.md: Claude plugin parity.
- tests: assert the recall skill and rules/ discovery layout; the
shipped rule must be alwaysApply: false.
- docs: .cursor-plugin/README.md and the cursor-hooks guide now describe
the three layers of recall (hook + skill + rule).
The Antigravity plugin mirror lands as a follow-up on the antigravity
branch, where .antigravity-plugin/ exists.

Resolves the maintainer review on the Cursor IDE support PR. Cursor-only
scope; cross-IDE items (wing-naming convention, shared-file merge order)
are coordinated on the separate Antigravity branch.
followup_message default (the one "decide before merge" item):
- Keep the stop-hook followup ON by default. Cursor's transcript format
is undocumented and mempalace/normalize.py has no Cursor parser, so the
background `mempalace mine --mode convos` is best-effort only and does
not yet yield clean verbatim drawers. The followup is therefore the
load-bearing verbatim-capture path; defaulting it off would leave a
default Cursor install capturing nothing.
- Add an opt-out (MEMPAL_CURSOR_SILENT=1, or MEMPAL_VERBOSE=false) for
users who want the Claude-style "zero tokens in chat" behaviour. The
hook still mines and keeps its counters/markers when silenced.
- Correct the misleading "background mine captures it" comments in the
save and precompact hooks; update hooks/cursor/README.md and the guide.
Hygiene fixes:
- Drop the hardcoded "version" field from .cursor-plugin/plugin.json and
marketplace.json (mempalace/version.py is the single source of truth);
tests now assert the field stays absent.
- Remove the committed .cursor-plugin/{commands,skills} symlinks (they
break on Windows clones with core.symlinks=false and were redundant
with the real repo-root components that `source: "."` already serves);
add a guard test that no symlinks exist under .cursor-plugin/.
- Document the preCompact synchronous-mine timeout tradeoff and that an
incremental/append-only mine is recoverable if killed (no corruption).
- Add a Cursor-namespaced, daily-throttled TTL sweep (MEMPAL_STATE_TTL_DAYS,
default 30) to lib/common.sh that GCs stale cursor_*.count/.pending only,
after the kill-switch check; shared logs and antigravity_* are untouched.
Verification: full suite green (2424 passed, 3 skipped), ruff check +
format clean, bash -n clean on all cursor scripts. +30 Cursor tests
(followup opt-out, state GC, TTL validation, no-symlink/version guards).

Adds first-class Cursor IDE integration alongside the existing Claude
Code and Codex hook flows, so Cursor users get the same automatic
diary saves, pre-compaction transcript capture, and session-start
memory recall — without changing any default behaviour for existing
users.
What's included
---------------
Cursor hook scripts (hooks/cursor/):
- mempal_save_hook_cursor.sh — Stop event, counter +
loop_count guard, pending-save marker consumption, background
mempalace mine, followup_message emission.
- mempal_precompact_hook_cursor.sh — synchronous mine before
compaction, drops a pending_save marker, returns user_message.
- mempal_wake_hook_cursor.sh — sessionStart event,
wing-scoped recall guidance via additional_context.
- lib/common.sh — shared parsing + state helpers
(bash 3.2 safe, no heredoc-in-subshell traps).
- install.sh — idempotent installer with
--scope, --variant, --dry-run, --uninstall. Recognises existing
entries by basename so re-installs across paths work.
- STDIN_SHAPE.md, README.md — payload schemas + quick
reference.
Cursor plugin (.cursor-plugin/ + repo-root components):
- plugin.json, marketplace.json, README.md.
- skills/mempalace/SKILL.md — model-invocable skill mirroring the
Claude plugin's skill surface.
- commands/mempalace-{help,init,mine,search,status}.md — slash
commands for marketplace-published installs (filename = slug).
- mcp.json — auto-registers the mempalace MCP
server, wrapped under the documented mcpServers key.
Examples + docs:
- examples/cursor/hooks.json, hooks.minimal.json + README.
- website/guide/cursor-hooks.md + sidebar entry.
- README.md and CHANGELOG.md updates.
Tests (129 new, all green):
- tests/test_cursor_hooks_shell.py — 75 behavioural tests for
the three hook scripts: kill switches, input parsing, counter
logic, loop prevention, pending markers, wing inference, logging.
- tests/test_cursor_hooks_install.py — 19 contract tests for the
installer: dry-run, idempotent merge, basename-matched uninstall,
refusal to overwrite malformed JSON.
- tests/test_cursor_plugin_manifest.py — 35 contract tests for the
plugin: manifest validity, version sync with mempalace.version,
mcp.json shape, skill/command frontmatter, default-discovery
layout invariants.
Design notes
------------
- Local-first and zero-API by default; hooks never call external
services. Same privacy model as the existing Claude Code hooks.
- Fail-open: hook scripts deliberately do not use set -e so a broken
hook can never block the user's conversation.
- Cursor preCompact cannot block + return a followup, so we
synchronously mine the transcript and drop a pending_save marker
that the next stop hook consumes — guarantees verbatim capture
before context window compression.
- Cursor's default plugin discovery requires real commands/, skills/,
and mcp.json at the plugin root (verified against the cached
cloudflare plugin); .cursor-plugin/{commands,skills} are convenience
symlinks back to those canonical locations.
- bash 3.2 compatibility throughout: avoids heredoc-in-command-
substitution parser bugs; uses python -c for JSON parsing;
basename-matched entry recognition in install.sh.
- All changes are additive. No existing files are removed, no
existing hooks change behaviour, and no new runtime dependencies
are introduced.
