lore CLAUDE.md

Instructions for using Lore, a persistent memory system that stores and retrieves information across coding sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at session start, while debugging, after solving unusual problems, and before major context changes.
Why use it?
It helps an agent remember earlier decisions, lessons, and preferences instead of starting from scratch each session.

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

lore CLAUDE.md 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.

Lore — Universal AI Memory

You have access to Lore, a persistent memory system via MCP tools. Use it to remember context across sessions and recall relevant knowledge.

When to Use Lore

Session Start

Call recent_activity(hours=24) to load what happened recently. This gives you grouped context from the last day — decisions, lessons, work done.

During Work

  • Before debugging: recall("describe the problem") — check if this was solved before
  • After solving something non-obvious: remember("what you learned", type="lesson")
  • Key decisions: remember("decision and reasoning", type="note")
  • Preferences discovered: remember("user prefers X", type="preference")

Pre-Compaction (Automatic)

Lore's session accumulator auto-saves snapshots when your context grows large. You don't need to manually call save_snapshot — but you can if you want to preserve specific state before a complex transition:

save_snapshot(content="Current state: ...", title="mid-refactor checkpoint")

Key Tools

Tool When
recall(query) Search memories semantically
remember(content, type) Save a memory (types: note, lesson, fact, preference, pattern, convention)
recent_activity(hours) Load recent session context
save_snapshot(content) Manually checkpoint current state
suggest(context) Get proactive memory recommendations based on session context
topics() Browse auto-generated topic summaries
graph_query(query) Explore knowledge graph connections
entity_map(name) Find everything related to an entity
review_digest() Review pending graph connections (with risk scores)
on_this_day() Memories from this date in prior years
export(format) Export all data (json/markdown)

Types for remember

  • lesson — Bug fixes, gotchas, things learned the hard way
  • fact — Objective information (API endpoints, config values, specs)
  • preference — User preferences, style choices
  • pattern — Recurring patterns or anti-patterns
  • convention — Project conventions, naming rules
  • note — General notes, decisions, context

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.
