name: save-knowledge description: "Save a single piece of brand knowledge — a campaign learning, guideline, competitive finding, performance insight, or approved asset — to the persistent memory layer with SHA-256 deduplication, auto-suggested tags, provenance tracking, priority, and optional expiration. Stores via a connected vector-DB MCP (e.g. Pinecone) when one exists, otherwise in the always-available local index; no memory backend is bundled by default. Triggers on "/digital-marketing-pro:save-knowledge", "remember this for next time", "save that email analysis we just did", "store this competitor intel", "keep this learning about subject lines". Pairs with /digital-marketing-pro:search-knowledge for retrieval and /digital-marketing-pro:sync-memory for bulk session syncing."

/digital-marketing-pro:save-knowledge

Purpose

Save brand knowledge to the persistent memory layer (a vector database you've connected — for example Pinecone via @pinecone-database/mcp) for semantic retrieval in future sessions. Stores campaign learnings, competitive intelligence, brand guidelines, and performance insights with proper metadata tagging so that valuable knowledge is never lost between sessions. Every stored item is content-hashed for deduplication, tagged with brand context, and indexed for natural language search — turning ad-hoc learnings into durable institutional memory that every agent can draw from. Designed for targeted, intentional knowledge capture — for bulk session syncing, use /digital-marketing-pro:sync-memory instead.

Input Required

The user must provide (or will be prompted for):

• Content to store: The knowledge to save — can be plain text typed directly, a reference to content in the current conversation (e.g., "save that email analysis we just did"), structured data from a campaign report or audit, or a URL to external research. Content is stored as-is with optional summarization for the index entry
• Content type: One of: guideline (brand rules, voice standards, style restrictions), campaign-learning (what worked or failed in a campaign with supporting evidence), competitive-intel (competitor findings, positioning, pricing, strategy moves), performance-insight (metrics, benchmarks, trends, statistical patterns), or brand-asset (approved copy, templates, creative references, messaging frameworks)
• Tags: Descriptive tags for filtered retrieval — e.g., "email", "q4-2025", "subject-lines", "audience-millennials", "paid-social", "black-friday". If not provided, auto-suggested based on content analysis using brand context, industry taxonomy, and channel detection. Multiple tags encouraged for richer retrieval
• Source context: Where this knowledge originated — current session analysis, imported report, campaign retrospective, external research, competitor monitoring, or team input. Used for provenance tracking, credibility weighting during retrieval, and audit trail compliance
• Priority (optional): high (surface this knowledge proactively in relevant contexts), normal (standard retrieval weight), or low (archive-grade, retrieve only on direct queries). Default is normal
• Expiration (optional): Date after which this knowledge should be flagged as potentially stale — useful for time-sensitive competitive intel, seasonal campaign data, or pricing information that changes quarterly. No default (knowledge persists indefinitely unless expired)
• Related entries (optional): References to existing stored knowledge this entry connects to — enables knowledge graph linking and richer cross-reference retrieval

Process

1. Load brand context: Read ~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json for the active slug, then load ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/profile.json. Apply brand voice, compliance rules for target markets (skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md), and industry context. Also check for guidelines at ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/_manifest.json — if present, load restrictions. Check for agency SOPs at ~/.claude-marketing/sops/. If no brand exists, ask: "Set up a brand first (/digital-marketing-pro:brand-setup)?" — or proceed with defaults.
2. Prepare content for storage: Run memory-manager.py --action prepare-store with content_type, tags, and source context. The script normalizes the content, generates a SHA-256 content hash, structures the metadata payload (brand_slug, content_type, tags, source, timestamp, priority, expiration), and validates that all required fields are present. If tags were not provided, auto-generate them from content analysis.
3. Check for duplicates: Compare the content hash against the local index at ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/memory/. If a match exists, report the duplicate — show the existing entry's tags, date, and summary — and offer to update its metadata (add new tags, refresh timestamp, change priority) rather than creating a duplicate. If no match, proceed to storage.
4. Check configured memory services: Run python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory-manager.py" --brand {slug} --action get-memory-status. Note: this inspects environment variables only (e.g. whether PINECONE_API_KEY is set) — it does NOT open a live connection, and it does NOT measure storage capacity or index health. Treat its output as "which backends are configured," not "which backends are reachable." If no vector-DB env var is set, store locally and recommend connecting a vector DB for cross-session access.
5. Store via vector database MCP (only if one is connected): DMP does not bundle a memory MCP — nothing is connected by default. If you have a working vector-DB MCP server connected (e.g. Pinecone), send the prepared payload to it for embedding and storage with all metadata. If you also have a working cross-session memory server connected, sync the entry there; if you have a working knowledge-graph server connected and related entries were specified, create relationship edges. If none is connected, store locally. See skills/context-engine/memory-architecture.md for the layer catalog and which packages are verified-real.
6. Update local index: Run memory-manager.py --action log-stored to register the new entry in the local content hash registry with storage ID, vector DB reference, timestamp, and priority. Update sync state so future /digital-marketing-pro:sync-memory runs skip this item as already persisted.
7. Confirm storage: Present the storage confirmation with all details — what was stored, where it was stored, metadata applied, and example queries that would retrieve this entry.

Output

A structured storage confirmation containing:

• Content summary: Brief description of what was stored, word count, content hash for deduplication reference, and a one-line summary generated from the content for index display
• Content type: The classification applied — guideline, campaign-learning, competitive-intel, performance-insight, or brand-asset — with explanation of why this type was selected if auto-detected
• Tags applied: All tags attached to the entry — user-provided tags, auto-suggested tags with rationale, and brand-context tags (industry, market, brand slug) added automatically for namespace isolation
• Storage location: Which vector database was used (Pinecone, Qdrant, or local-only), namespace or collection name, storage ID, and embedding model used for vectorization
• Deduplication status: Whether this was a new entry or an update to an existing entry — with details on what metadata was merged and the original entry's storage date
• Priority and expiration: The priority level set (high, normal, low) and expiration date if specified, with a note on how these affect future retrieval ranking
• Related entries linked: Any knowledge graph relationships created to existing entries, with bidirectional link confirmation
• Total stored items: Running count of total knowledge items in the brand's local memory index, broken down by content type (this is the local count, not a live vector-DB capacity figure)
• Retrieval hint: Two to three example search queries that would surface this entry — so the user knows exactly how to find it later via /digital-marketing-pro:search-knowledge

Agents Used

• memory-manager — Content normalization and summarization, SHA-256 hashing for deduplication, duplicate detection against local index with metadata merge option, auto-tag generation from content analysis, metadata structuring with required field validation, vector database payload preparation and embedding, storage execution via Pinecone or Qdrant MCP, knowledge graph relationship creation via Graphiti, local index and sync state update, and retrieval hint generation based on stored content semantics
