remember

A project-memory command records decisions, patterns, outcomes, and conventions in persistent memory. It can store information in local files for future sessions or in a knowledge graph for connected searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remember architecture decisions, anti-patterns, preferred tools, workflow results, and project conventions for future tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents useful project context from being lost between coding sessions. Saving choices and lessons makes later work more consistent and reduces repeated investigation.

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.

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

remember 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.

Remember - Store Decisions and Patterns

Filesystem vs MCP memory (Opus 5 guidance, CC 2.1.111+): Opus 5 reads filesystem memory reliably across multi-session work. Use that to your advantage:

  • Short-lived handoff state (current phase, task in-progress, pending approvals) → .claude/chain/*.json files. Small, structured, session-scoped.
  • Durable auto-memory (user facts, feedback, project conventions) → ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/*.md files with a one-line index in MEMORY.md. Read on every session start.
  • Cross-session knowledge graph (typed entities + relations for query traversal) → MCP memory server (this skill's default path). Best when future sessions will search for patterns.

The three are complementary, not alternatives. Prefer fs for anything you'd want to grep; prefer MCP for anything you'd want to traverse.

Store important decisions, patterns, or context in the knowledge graph for future sessions. Supports tracking success/failure outcomes for building a Best Practice Library.

Argument Resolution

TEXT = "$ARGUMENTS"        # Full argument string, e.g., "We use cursor pagination"
FLAG = "$ARGUMENTS[0]"     # First token — check for --success, --failed, --category, --agent
# Parse flags from $ARGUMENTS[0], $ARGUMENTS[1] etc. (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)
# Remaining tokens after flags = the text to remember

Architecture

The remember skill uses knowledge graph as storage:

  1. Knowledge Graph: Entity and relationship storage via mcp__memory__create_entities and mcp__memory__create_relations - FREE, zero-config, always works

Benefits:

  • Zero configuration required - works out of the box
  • Explicit relationship queries (e.g., "what does X use?")
  • Cross-referencing between entities
  • No cloud dependency

Automatic Entity Extraction:

  • Extracts capitalized terms as potential entities (PostgreSQL, React, pgvector)
  • Detects agent names (database-engineer, backend-system-architect)
  • Identifies pattern names (cursor-pagination, connection-pooling)
  • Recognizes "X uses Y", "X recommends Y", "X requires Y" relationship patterns

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.

remember is a command published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (224 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,241 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
