memory

A command for checking the health of AgentCairn's memory vault and its search index, which is the part that makes saved notes searchable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose memory setup problems and report note counts, text-chunk counts, and index status.
Why use it?
It reveals where the vault is stored, how much it contains, and whether there are warnings.

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 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 yesterday.

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

Run uvx --from agentcairn cairn doctor and uvx --from agentcairn cairn index-status (both take --vault; the index is derived from it) and summarize the vault location, note/chunk counts, and any health warnings.

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository ccf/agentcairn (46 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 76 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
