In plain words
What is it for?
It is for maintaining project notes, recording sessions, extracting knowledge, and keeping a human-readable vault of ongoing work.
Why use it?
It helps an agent continue with open questions and recent project context without loading large history files or exposing secrets.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is || python3 scripts/memory/ide-boot.py 2>/dev/null \.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-mem scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Claude Mem — Session Memory Agent v3.0 (RavenVault)

Canonical vault: ~/RavenVault
Deprecated: AndieVault — do not write there.
Agent start: .raven/memory/CARD.md via ide-boot.py (load=1).

No secrets. No network. Local markdown only.


On Session START

  1. Ensure hub exists (writer does this too):
python3 "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/scripts/memory/ide-boot.py" 2>/dev/null \
  || python3 scripts/memory/ide-boot.py 2>/dev/null \
  || true
  1. If load=1, Read only the memory= path. Surface open questions from the card, not a vault dump.

  2. Do not load full session files or multi‑MB vault dumps.


On Session END

  1. Prefer Stop hooks (obsidian-log.py, knowledge-extract.py). If hooks did not run:
python3 scripts/obsidian-log.py </dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
python3 scripts/knowledge-extract.py --quiet 2>/dev/null || true
python3 scripts/knowledge_graph.py 2>/dev/null || true
  1. Hub rules

    • ~/RavenVault/projects/{name}.md must exist before any [[projects/{name}]] link.
    • Update Current state, Open questions, Recent sessions.
  2. Index hygiene

    • Active Projects = every file in projects/*.md.
    • Strip corrupted placeholder lines (ere_, broken fragments).
    • Prefer vault_common.rebuild_index() via obsidian-log.
  3. Optional thin local cache:

mkdir -p .raven/memory
python3 scripts/memory/ide-boot.py 2>/dev/null || true

  • Every session → [[projects/{name}]]
  • Every decision → [[projects/{name}]] + related [[concepts/…]]
  • Frontmatter type: on all notes

claude-mem v3.0 — RavenVault-only, digest-first, index hygiene.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
