backup

A command that copies local agent memory files to a GitHub backup repository. GitHub is a service for storing and collaborating on code and other files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding memory folders across projects, mirroring their Markdown files, committing the changes, and pushing them to GitHub.
Why use it?
It preserves memory files in a remote repository so they are not kept only on one computer.

Getting it into your agent

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.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 183 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 B, and why

backup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

/backup -- Push Memory to GitHub

Push local memory files to your GitHub backup repository.

Usage

bash ~/.claude/scripts/hooks/memory-backup.sh push

What it does

  1. Scan all projects -- find every ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/ directory
  2. Copy to backup repo -- mirror all .md files into the backup repo
  3. Commit -- stage and commit changes
  4. Push -- push to GitHub

Notes

  • The SessionEnd hook auto-commits locally after every conversation; this command handles the push
  • v1.6: push now auto-detects all project directories instead of hardcoding paths
  • For bidirectional sync (push + pull), use /sync instead
  • For pulling from GitHub, use /recover
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.

backup is a command published in the GitHub repository HelloRuru/claude-memory-engine (133 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 183 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
