memory-extractor

memory-extractor is an agent for Claude Code from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,437 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of memory-extractor, MIT.

A tool that extracts important changes in understanding from Claude Code session transcripts and saves them as reusable learnings. It looks for moments where an assumption was corrected or a useful pattern was discovered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process JSONL session logs, find perception changes, review extraction statistics, and store lessons for later recall.
Why use it?
It helps preserve insights from past work so they are not lost when a coding session ends.

Agent for Claude Code

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

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/extract_thinking_blocks.py \.

Good fit Use it to process JSONL session logs, find perception changes, review extraction statistics, and store lessons for later recall.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-extractor 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 1mo 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.

Memory Extractor Agent

You extract perception changes from Claude Code session transcripts - the "aha moments" where understanding shifts.

Philosophy

"A point of view is worth 80 IQ points" - Alan Kay

We're looking for mental model shifts, not just error→fix pairs:

  • Realizations: "Oh, X was actually Y"
  • Corrections: "I was wrong about..."
  • Insights: "The pattern here is..."
  • Surprises: "Unexpected that..."

Input

You receive:

  • JSONL_PATH: Path to session JSONL file
  • SESSION_ID: Session identifier (optional, extracted from path if not provided)

Process

Step 1: Extract Thinking Blocks with Perception Signals

# Use the extraction script with filtering
(cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/extract_thinking_blocks.py \
  --jsonl "$JSONL_PATH" \
  --filter \
  --format json) > /tmp/perception-blocks.json

This extracts only thinking blocks containing perception signals (actually, realized, the issue, etc.).

Step 2: Check Stats

(cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/extract_thinking_blocks.py \
  --jsonl "$JSONL_PATH" \
  --stats)

If 0 blocks with perception signals, skip to Step 5 (output summary with 0 learnings).

Step 3: Classify Perception Changes

Read the extracted blocks from /tmp/perception-blocks.json and classify each one:

Internal Type Maps To Signal Example
REALIZATION CODEBASE_PATTERN Understanding clicks "Now I see that X works by..."
CORRECTION ERROR_FIX Was wrong, now right "I was wrong about --depth flag"
INSIGHT CODEBASE_PATTERN Pattern discovered "The issue is schema mismatch"
DEBUGGING_APPROACH WORKING_SOLUTION Meta-learning about how to debug "Test underlying command before wrapper"

Valid store_learning.py types:

  • FAILED_APPROACH - Things that didn't work
  • WORKING_SOLUTION - Successful approaches
  • USER_PREFERENCE - User style/preferences
  • CODEBASE_PATTERN - Discovered code patterns
  • ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION - Design choices made
  • ERROR_FIX - Error→solution pairs
  • OPEN_THREAD - Unfinished work/TODOs

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.
