help

help is a command for coding agents from penfieldlabs/claude-penfield. It costs 7 tokens per session (470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that explains how to use Penfield, a memory system for AI conversations. It covers saving, recalling, correcting, tagging, and linking remembered information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for showing examples of natural-language requests such as remembering a decision, recalling project context, updating a fact, or connecting related memories.
Why use it?
It helps users understand how to keep information across conversations and correct memories that are wrong or outdated.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/penfieldlabs/claude-penfield/help
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/penfieldlabs/claude-penfield

Or install penfield, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 1 command, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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

help 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 5d 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.

Penfield Memory - Quick Reference

Display this help information to the user:

You Just Talk Naturally

Penfield lets your AI remember things across conversations. You don't need commands - just talk naturally.

Remembering Things

Say things like:

  • "Remember this: I prefer morning meetings, not afternoons"
  • "Don't forget - Sarah handles legal, John handles IT"
  • "Store this decision: We're focusing on enterprise this quarter"

You can tag memories for organization:

  • "Remember this and tag it as 'legal': Sarah handles all IP matters"

Recalling Things

Start a new conversation with "Awaken" to load your context, then ask naturally:

  • "What did we decide about the pricing strategy?"
  • "What do you know about Project Atlas?"
  • "What did we discuss last week?"

If your AI doesn't seem to be checking memories, say: "Check your memories first"

Fixing Wrong Information

  • "Update memory: I said Sarah handles legal, but actually it's John"
  • "Correction - we're NOT focusing on enterprise anymore. Please update."

Connecting Ideas

Usually automatic, but you can be explicit:

  • "Connect this decision to our discussion about customer feedback"
  • "This contradicts what we thought before - link them"

Project Checkpoints

Save: "Save a checkpoint for Project Alpha - include everything we discussed" Resume: "Restore the checkpoint for Project Alpha"

Artifacts (File Storage)

  • "Save this as my standard PR template artifact"
  • "Get my PR template artifact"
  • "List my saved artifacts"

Exploring Connections

  • "Explore connections related to our Q3 strategy"
  • "Show me what's connected to Project Atlas"

Key Principles

  1. Be specific - Include context and reasoning, not just facts
  2. Correct mistakes immediately - "Update memory: the correct info is..."
  3. Quality over quantity - Store what matters next week/month/year

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.
