Run the Dreamer

Install it once, schedule it nightly — your own agent, your keys, your memory.

Ocean Labs

Your memory keeps itself while you sleep. The Dreamer is your own Claude, running the consolidation playbook against your memory: raw entries become a cited wiki, contradictions become proposals, patterns become insights. Nothing runs on OceanDB’s servers — your agent, your keys, your memory.

1. Connect (once)#

claude mcp add --transport http oceandb https://app.oceandb.ai/api/mcp

Sign in when the browser opens. (Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → add the same URL.) See Connect your agent for the details.

2. Install the skill (once)#

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/oceandb-dreamer && curl -fsSL https://oceandb.ai/dreamer-skill.md -o ~/.claude/skills/oceandb-dreamer/SKILL.md

The skill is a thin wrapper: it reads the authoritative playbook straight from your OceanDB connection (oceandb://docs/dreamer), so it never drifts from what the server documents.

3. Dream#

On demand, in any Claude Code session:

/oceandb-dreamer

Nightly, while you sleep (macOS/Linux cron; runs headless with your stored sign-in):

crontab -e
# add:
0 3 * * * claude -p "Run the /oceandb-dreamer skill" --dangerously-skip-permissions >> ~/.oceandb-dreamer.log 2>&1

If you’d rather not skip permission checks wholesale, allowlist just the OceanDB tools instead — add a permission entry for the oceandb MCP server to ~/.claude/settings.json and drop the flag. claude.ai scheduled routines can run it too, if your OceanDB connector is available there.

What a night’s sleep produces#

Pages written and linked with citations. Contradictions opened as proposals — the Dreamer never resolves them behind your back; review at app.oceandb.ai/dashboard/review. Insights — the non-obvious things it noticed about you — at app.oceandb.ai/dashboard/insights.

For what each phase does, see The nightly playbook.
