What this alias does
tm is the short alias for the transcendence-memory skill. They share the same configuration (~/.transcendence-memory/config.toml), the same backend, the same commands.
/tmis the Agent's slash command. After installing the native Python CLI, it can also be used in the shell astm; both share the same configuration. When the CLI is not installed, use the HTTP wrapper script provided by the canonical skill; do not assume the shell command exists.
How to execute
Read the canonical SKILL.md and follow its instructions verbatim. Its location depends on how the
skill is installed — read the sibling transcendence-memory skill directory next to this tm
directory:
- Plugin install (
/plugin install): both skill dirs live under<plugin-root>/skills/, so the canonical file is../transcendence-memory/SKILL.mdrelative to this one (plugin root =~/.claude/plugins/cache/transcendence-memory/transcendence-memory/<version>/). - Bare skill install (
npx skills add, Cursor, or dropped under~/.agents/skills/): each skill is its own top-level dir, so the canonical file is the sibling~/.agents/skills/transcendence-memory/SKILL.md(i.e.../transcendence-memory/SKILL.mdrelative to~/.agents/skills/tm/).
In both layouts the canonical SKILL.md sits in a sibling transcendence-memory/ directory — locate
it by name (e.g. Glob: **/skills/transcendence-memory/SKILL.md or ~/.agents/skills/transcendence-memory/SKILL.md)
rather than hard-coding one absolute path.
That file documents the complete command set:

Server v0.20 also adds a governance subsystem reached over HTTP (no /tm shortcut) — runtime config center (GET/PUT /admin/config), a 6-tool governance toolbox (/admin/tools), a dreaming memory-tidy subsystem (/admin/dreaming/*), and an opt-in LLM orchestration agent + human approval queue (/admin/agent/*). All dry-run-first and off by default; see the canonical skill's references/governance.md.
Why this exists
Claude Code's skill frontmatter does not support aliases: field (verified via official Frontmatter reference). To let users invoke either /transcendence-memory remember ... or the shorter /tm remember ... (and the equivalent Skill(skill: "tm", ...) agent calls), this alias skill mirrors the canonical entry.
Maintenance
If the canonical SKILL.md changes, this alias does not need editing — it always defers to the canonical file at runtime. Only update this file if the deferral mechanism itself changes (e.g. the canonical path moves).
Do not duplicate state
Do not write a separate config.toml, do not call distinct endpoints, do not maintain a parallel command map. This file is intentionally thin to avoid drift.
