mining

A command for finding repeated patterns in an assistant’s past work and turning approved patterns into stored memories. Pattern mining means examining previous activity for reusable facts or habits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running pattern extraction, checking mined suggestions, approving or rejecting them, and promoting approved patterns for quick recall.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to rediscover useful commands, project facts, imports, and coding patterns.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 4 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 173 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

mining 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

Extract and manage patterns from Claude's outputs.

Subcommands:

  • status: Show mining statistics (mcp__memory__mining_status)
  • run: Run pattern extraction on recent logs (mcp__memory__run_mining)
  • review: Show candidates ready for approval (mcp__memory__review_candidates)
  • approve <id>: Approve a pattern as memory (mcp__memory__approve_candidate)
  • reject <id>: Reject a pattern (mcp__memory__reject_candidate)

Mining extracts:

  • Import statements
  • CLI commands
  • Project facts
  • Code patterns

Approved patterns become memories and can be promoted to hot cache for instant recall.

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.

mining is a command published in the GitHub repository michael-denyer/memory-mcp (7 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4 tokens to every session and 173 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
