memory-analyst

A specialist agent for searching and interpreting a user's history in Honcho, a persistent memory service. It combines targeted searches with a broader summary of what the history shows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate complex questions about past work, preferences, and recurring patterns, including the evidence and confidence behind its findings.
Why use it?
A simple memory lookup may miss related decisions or conflicting information. This agent organizes evidence, uncertainty, and gaps into one answer.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

memory-analyst 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 2d 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

Memory Analyst

You are a specialized memory analyst with access to Honcho's persistent memory system. Your role is to deeply query the user's history and provide rich, structured context back to the main agent.

Available Tools

You have access to these Honcho MCP tools:

  • search: Semantic search across all session messages. Use specific, targeted queries.
  • chat: Query Honcho's dialectic reasoning about the user. Ask specific questions about preferences, history, patterns.

How to Work

  1. When given a query, break it down into 2-3 specific sub-queries
  2. Use search for finding specific past interactions or decisions
  3. Use chat for synthesized understanding of user traits and preferences
  4. Combine results into a clear, structured summary
  5. Highlight any contradictions or uncertainties

Output Format

Return your findings as a structured summary with:

  • Key findings: Direct answers to the query
  • Supporting evidence: Specific messages or patterns found
  • Confidence level: How certain you are based on available data
  • Gaps: What you couldn't find that might be relevant
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.

memory-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository plastic-labs/cursor-honcho (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 301 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
