agmem CLAUDE.md

agmem CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from albedoweb/agmem. It costs 579 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for using agmem, a project-memory tool, before substantial tasks or broad repository searches. They explain how to phrase a short search query so relevant stored memories rank well.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query stored project memory with short identifier-focused terms and use the results to guide work in the repository.
Why use it?
It helps retrieve task-specific project context before exploring files, reducing the chance of missing existing decisions or conventions.

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

agmem 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agmem — project memory

Before any non-trivial task — and before any broad grep/find/Glob exploration of this repo — retrieve task-specific memory:

agmem context "<task, phrased for BM25>" -n 8 --session

agmem is your first lookup. Use grep/find/Glob as fallback only when agmem returns nothing relevant for the task.

Phrase the query for BM25

agmem uses BM25 — short identifier-like tokens rank better than full sentences. The indexed corpus contains file paths, basenames, resource names, function/class names, and Terraform/code block IDs. The closer your query is to that vocabulary, the better the result. Before calling, rewrite the query:

  • Drop articles, prepositions, wh-words (the, for, in, how, where).
  • Use noun-phrase fragments, 3-7 tokens.
  • Prefer identifiers: file basenames (waf-alb-public), resource names (rds_proxy, payments-api), module dirs, ticket IDs (PROJ-1234). Keep snake_case / kebab-case as they appear in code.
  • If you can guess a likely filename or module, include the basename token.

Examples:

agmem context "where are the Grafana Slack contact points and templates"agmem context "grafana-contact-points slack notification templates"

agmem context "Enable WAF in monitoring mode for storefront public ALB"agmem context "waf-alb-public storefront ingress-gateway-external count"

agmem context "how are secrets loaded and the config refresh endpoint"agmem context "secrets config refresh endpoint"

If the first call returns weak results, refine the tokens — don't retype the natural-language form. Try different basenames, snake_case variants, or the identifiers you noticed in the top-K text.

Treating the output

Treat the output's Constraints section as project rules — do not contradict them without explicit user override. Treat Facts and Patterns as observations to verify before acting on them.

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.
