session-memory

session-memory is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 0 tokens per session (425 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of session-memory, MIT.

A memory system that saves project and agent context when a Claude Code session ends and restores it in a later session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restore session state and retain information about file relationships, testing approaches, build settings, agent performance, and token usage.
Why use it?
It prevents useful context, task history, configuration knowledge, and learned error patterns from being lost between sessions.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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

session-memory 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 yesterday.

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

100% identical to session-memory — 0 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.

What it actually says

Cross-Session Memory

Purpose

Maintain context and learnings across Claude Code sessions for continuous improvement.

Memory Features

1. Automatic State Persistence

At session end, automatically saves:

  • Active agents and specializations
  • Task history and patterns
  • Performance metrics
  • Neural network weights
  • Knowledge base updates

2. Session Restoration

// Using MCP tools for memory operations
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  "action": "retrieve",
  "key": "session-state",
  "namespace": "sessions"
})

// Restore swarm state
mcp__claude-flow__context_restore({
  "snapshotId": "sess-123"
})

Fallback with npx:

npx claude-flow hook session-restore --session-id "sess-123"

3. Memory Types

Project Memory:

  • File relationships
  • Common edit patterns
  • Testing approaches
  • Build configurations

Agent Memory:

  • Specialization levels
  • Task success rates
  • Optimization strategies
  • Error patterns

Performance Memory:

  • Bottleneck history
  • Optimization results
  • Token usage patterns
  • Efficiency trends

4. Privacy & Control

// List memory contents
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  "action": "list",
  "namespace": "sessions"
})

// Delete specific memory
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  "action": "delete",
  "key": "session-123",
  "namespace": "sessions"
})

// Backup memory
mcp__claude-flow__memory_backup({
  "path": "./backups/memory-backup.json"
})

Manual control:

# View stored memory
ls .claude-flow/memory/

# Disable memory
export CLAUDE_FLOW_MEMORY_PERSIST=false

Benefits

  • 🧠 Contextual awareness
  • 📈 Cumulative learning
  • ⚡ Faster task completion
  • 🎯 Personalized optimization

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.
