CLAUDE.md

memoir CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from camgitt/memoir. It costs 770 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Memoir, a command-line tool and MCP server that lets AI coding tools save and retrieve memory across sessions, devices, and tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to store, search, restore, organize, and share AI coding memories, goals, notes, and next steps.
Why use it?
It helps prevent useful project context from being lost when an AI session ends or you switch tools or machines.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is camgitt/memoir's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on memoir 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 memoir 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 A, and why

memoir 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 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.

memoir — Persistent Memory for AI Coding Tools

Project

  • Package: memoir-cli (npm), v3.12.0 (see package.json — this line goes stale)
  • Website: memoir.sh (static HTML on Vercel)
  • Repo: https://github.com/camgitt/memoir
  • License: MIT
  • Stack: Node.js CLI + Supabase (auth, storage, PostgreSQL)

What it does

CLI + MCP server for project-scoped memory and coding-session handoffs. It has import/export adapters for 11 tools. The review branch configures Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor with an SDK handshake; actual client acceptance and hosted rollout remain release gates. See README.md and docs/RELIABILITY-ROLLOUT.md for the precise boundaries.

Architecture

  • CLI commands: push, restore, snapshot, resume, migrate, diff, profile, doctor, share, upgrade, consolidate, login (--signup), forgot-password, recall, forget, validate, why, note/goal/next/done/ask, telemetry (opt-in; off by default)
  • MCP server: 16 tools — memory: memoir_remember (aliases/tags → frontmatter), memoir_recall (passages, field-weighted, cached — src/memory/search.js), memoir_read, memoir_list, memoir_profiles, memoir_status, memoir_consolidate; session continuity: memoir_set_goal, memoir_add_next, memoir_complete_next, memoir_note, memoir_ask, memoir_session, memoir_why, memoir_forget (absolute tombstone, --purge redacts), memoir_resume
  • Session continuity: AI records goals/next-actions/decisions into session.json, auto-rendered into CLAUDE.md so the next session picks up where the last ended
  • Consolidate: scans all tool memories for duplicates, stale files, and bloat (--smart adds a Gemini Flash semantic pass)
  • Cloud sync: Supabase auth (email/password), gzipped bundles in Storage, PostgreSQL metadata
  • Encryption: AES-256-GCM, async scrypt, client-side before upload; cloud writes require a user-held passphrase, and legacy cloud backups remain readable with a warning
  • Tiers: Free (10 cloud backups), Pro ($15/mo, 100 backups + version history — purchasable via memoir upgrade, Stripe checkout wired), Teams (coming soon)

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.
