init-memory-bank

init-memory-bank is a command for Claude Code from hudrazine/claude-code-memory-bank. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A command that creates a Memory Bank structure for recording project context, decisions, progress, and reflections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project that needs structured context tracking and staged task planning.
Why use it?
It gives the agent an organized project history to refer to across tasks and sessions.

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

init-memory-bank 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 6d 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.

Initialize Memory Bank System with Metacognitive Flow

Your Task

Think deeply about the project context and initialize the Memory Bank system using a metacognitive approach that ensures profound understanding and thoughtful implementation.

Initial Setup: Task Tracking

Use the TodoWrite tool to create a structured task list for this complex initialization process:

todos:
- Stage 1: Understanding and Context Recognition (pending)
- Stage 2: Preliminary Judgment Formation (pending)
- Stage 3: Critical Evaluation and Deep Analysis (pending)
- Stage 4: Adaptive Strategy with Confidence Scoring (pending)
- Stage 5: Reflective Implementation (pending)
- Stage 6: Final Metacognitive Assessment (pending)

Update each task status as you progress:

  • Mark as in_progress when starting a stage
  • Mark as completed only when fully satisfied with that stage
  • Add sub-tasks if a stage reveals complex requirements

Stage 1: Understanding and Context Recognition

Metacognitive Understanding Phase Before any action, deeply understand:

  • What is the true purpose of this initialization?
  • What assumptions am I making about this project?
  • What context clues should I be aware of?

Use the Task tool with this enhanced prompt:

"Perform a metacognitive analysis of the current project:

  1. Initial observations about project state
  2. What this tells me about the project's nature
  3. What I might be assuming incorrectly
  4. Alternative interpretations of the project structure
  5. Confidence level in my initial assessment (0-100%)

Then provide standard analysis:

  • Current working directory path
  • Memory Bank directory status
  • Project type detection (package.json, requirements.txt, etc.)
  • Technologies and frameworks
  • Project structure overview
  • Existing documentation"

Self-Reflection Questions:

  • Am I seeing the full picture?
  • What might I be missing?
  • How does my interpretation align with reality?

Stage 2: Preliminary Judgment Formation

Based on initial understanding, form hypotheses:

  • What type of Memory Bank would best serve this project?
  • What initialization approach seems most appropriate?
  • What are my intuitions telling me?

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.
