kratos-cli AGENTS.md

Project instructions for Kratos CLI, a command-line memory system that stores and retrieves information across coding sessions. They describe commands for saving, searching, viewing, and maintaining project memories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Loading session context, recording architecture decisions and bug fixes, searching earlier project knowledge, installing memory hooks, and checking memory status.
Why use it?
They help an agent retain important decisions and past work instead of starting each session without project context.

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

kratos-cli AGENTS.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.

What it actually says

Memory System

This project uses Kratos CLI for persistent memory across coding sessions.

Commands

  • Context: npx kratos-cli context — compact memory block (pinned + decisions + recent)
  • Save: npx kratos-cli save "description" --tags tag1,tag2 --importance 3
  • Search: npx kratos-cli search "query"
  • Ask: npx kratos-cli ask "question about the project"
  • Recent: npx kratos-cli recent --limit 10
  • Status: npx kratos-cli status
  • Get: npx kratos-cli get <memory-id>
  • Forget: npx kratos-cli forget <memory-id>
  • Scan: npx kratos-cli scan "text to check" --redact

Setup (once per project)

Run npx kratos-cli hooks install — installs session memory injection, auto-capture, and git commit capture for Claude Code.

When to save

  • Architecture decisions
  • Bug fixes (what was wrong + how you fixed it)
  • Important codebase patterns
  • Feature implementations
  • User preferences and conventions
  • Start of each session — get context about current work
  • When asked about past decisions
  • Before making changes to understand existing patterns
Changes

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.
