Install, configure, and use MemPalace (github.com/mempalace/mempalace), the local-first AI memory system that mines projects and Claude Code conversations into a searchable verbatim palace (96.6% R@5, zero API calls). Use this skill as the step-by-step install and usage guide whenever you need to set up MemPalace, wire its Claude Code plugin and hooks, backfill past sessions, search memory, or troubleshoot. The /arise skill calls this as its Layer 2. Run standalone to add verbatim memory to any project or to repair an existing palace.
