clawmem-bf: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

clawmem-bf AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from BFLabsAI/clawmem-bf. It costs 4,690 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A quick-reference instruction file for ClawMem, an on-device memory system for Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes agents. It explains installation, automatic context injection, targeted memory recall, and its local inference services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up or operating ClawMem, choosing its local model stack, or retrieving memory during coding-agent work.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the essential operating rules in one place while linking to deeper documentation elsewhere in the project.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: UserPromptSubmit hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is BFLabsAI/clawmem-bf's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on clawmem-bf itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything clawmem-bf configures →

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 B, and why

clawmem-bf AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

ClawMem — Agent Quick Reference

On-device retrieval-augmented memory for Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes agents. Hooks auto-inject context (~90%); MCP tools cover targeted recall (~10%). TypeScript on Bun, MIT.

This file is the lean root SSOT — agent-facing essentials only. Deep reference lives in docs/ (linked throughout, indexed at the bottom). CLAUDE.md is an @AGENTS.md import; SKILL.md is the portable on-demand operating reference.


Inference at a glance

Three services — embedding, LLM (query expansion / intent / A-MEM), reranker. Default: all three as llama-server with an in-process node-llama-cpp fallback that auto-downloads on first use (works with no GPU). The bin/clawmem wrapper points at localhost:8088/8089/8090. Always run via bin/clawmem — it sets the endpoints.

Choose a stack:

  • native (default) — EmbeddingGemma-300M + qmd-query-expansion-1.7B + qwen3-reranker-0.6B · ~4 GB or in-process · permissive, commercial OK · zero-config.
  • z / SOTA — zembed-1 + qmd-query-expansion-1.7B + zerank-2 seq-cls sidecar · ~16 GB · CC-BY-NC-4.0, non-commercial only · best recall.
  • cloud embedding — Jina/OpenAI/Voyage/Cohere · embedding only (LLM + reranker stay local) · no local GPU needed.

Landmines:

  • The zerank-2 GGUF is inert — llama.cpp drops the score head → ranking silently collapses to RRF. Use the seq-cls sidecar; verify with clawmem rerank-health (liveness ≠ correctness).
  • -ub must equal -b for embedding/reranking (non-causal attention) or llama-server asserts.
  • Changing embedding dimensions → clawmem embed --force (full re-embed).
  • CLAWMEM_NO_LOCAL_MODELS=true to fail fast instead of silent CPU fallback.

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.
