memory-save

A deprecated command for saving a useful piece of conversation context as a small, organized memory in Forgetful, a memory system. Its instructions say to use Serena's writememory instead.

In plain words
What is it for?
It was intended to check related memories, then create, update, link, or retire a stored memory based on the current conversation.
Why use it?
Using it can lead to an outdated memory workflow and duplicate the newer recommended command.

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-save 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to memory-save — 41 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Save Memory

Deprecated: Use mcp__serena__write_memory for memory creation. See Memory Interface Decision Matrix.

Create an atomic memory from the current conversation context.

Your Task

  1. Analyze the conversation for the key insight/decision/pattern to capture
  2. Check for existing related memories that might be affected
  3. Create the memory with proper curation

User guidance: $ARGUMENTS

Pre-Creation: Check for Existing Memories

Before creating, query for related memories:

execute_forgetful_tool("query_memory", {
  "query": "<topic of new memory>",
  "query_context": "Checking for existing memories before creating new one",
  "k": 5,
  "include_links": true
})

Analyze results to determine if the new memory would:

  • Invalidate an existing memory (mark it obsolete with mark_memory_obsolete)
  • Update an existing memory (use update_memory instead of creating new)
  • Supersede an existing memory (create new, then mark old as obsolete with superseded_by)
  • Complement existing memories (create new and potentially link_memories)

Atomic Memory Principles (Zettelkasten)

Before creating, verify the memory passes the atomicity test:

  • Can you understand the idea at first glance?
  • Can you easily title it in 5-50 words?
  • Does it represent ONE concept/fact/decision?

Memory Constraints

  • Title: Max 200 characters - short, searchable phrase
  • Content: Max 2000 characters (~300-400 words) - single concept
  • Context: Max 500 characters - WHY this matters
  • Keywords: Max 10 - for semantic clustering
  • Tags: Max 10 - for categorization

Importance Scoring Guide

  • 9-10: Personal facts, foundational architectural patterns
  • 8-9: Critical technical solutions, major architectural decisions
  • 7-8: Useful patterns, strong preferences, tool choices
  • 6-7: Project milestones, specific solutions
  • 5-6: Minor context (use sparingly)

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.
