# Memories and skills for Insight Search

> Persistent facts and reusable investigation recipes for the Insight Search assistant.

The [Insight Search](/analyze/insight-search) assistant supports persistent **memories** and reusable **skills** so investigations get smarter over time and repeat workflows stay consistent.

Manage both from **Settings > Assistant** in the [dashboard](https://www.thecontextcompany.com/prod/settings), or via MCP tools after OAuth sign-in.

## Memories

Memories are short saved facts that shape future assistant sessions (up to 500 characters each).

| Scope        | Who sees it                                     |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Org-wide** | Shared with your whole team (up to 50 memories) |
| **Personal** | Private to you (up to 25 memories)              |

Add, view, and delete memories in the dashboard **Memories** card, or use MCP:

* `list_memories` — list org and personal memories
* `remember` — save a new memory
* `forget_memory` — delete a memory by ID

Personal memories require a signed-in user (dashboard or MCP OAuth). API keys can manage org memories only.

## Skills

Skills are reusable investigation recipes: a prompt the assistant follows to produce a structured report or workflow.

| Scope        | Description                                                                                            |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Built-in** | Shipped recipes available to every org (for example Jumpstart, Biggest issues this week, What changed) |
| **Org-wide** | Custom recipes shared with the team (up to 30)                                                         |
| **Personal** | Custom recipes private to you (up to 20)                                                               |

Saving a custom skill with the same slug as a built-in skill overrides the built-in for that scope. Built-in skills cannot be deleted.

Manage skills in the dashboard **Skills** card, or use MCP:

* `list_skills` — list built-in, org, and personal skills
* `get_skill` — fetch a skill's full prompt by slug
* `save_skill` — create or update a custom skill
* `delete_skill` — remove a custom org or personal skill

See [MCP](/access-data/mcp) for setup.
