Fallback slash commands
Fallback slash commands
Section titled “Fallback slash commands”When the MCP connection to memory is not working, od3sa-memory setup claude installs a set of slash commands in ~/.claude/commands/. These commands call the od3sa-memory CLI directly and bypass the MCP layer.
Installation
Section titled “Installation”The setup helper installs the fallback commands automatically:
cd ~/project-aod3sa-memory setup claudeRestart Claude Code after running the helper so the commands appear.
Available commands
Section titled “Available commands”| Command | What it does |

Section titled “Scope and identity”Fallback commands use the default database path and the scopes configured in the MCP server environment. If you need different scopes, use the MCP tools or call the od3sa-memory CLI directly.
When MCP is working
Section titled “When MCP is working”Prefer the MCP tools (memory_remember, memory_recall, memory_search, etc.) when they are available. The slash commands are a fallback for troubleshooting or when the MCP server is temporarily unreachable.
Knowledge packets
Section titled “Knowledge packets”Knowledge packets are available through the CLI (od3sa-memory packet) and the memory_packet MCP tool. There is no fallback slash command for packets; use the CLI or MCP when you want to build or export a workspace snapshot.
