pocket AGENTS.md

Instructions for Pocket, a portable memory store for command-line coding agents. It keeps durable notes and past conversations in a shared folder so different agents can use the same context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of an agent session to read durable preferences, or use its command-line tool to initialize memory, find past conversations, and review recent sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents useful project and user context from being lost when switching between AI providers or command-line tools. It also sets rules for reading memory and searching old chats without loading everything.

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

pocket 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.

AGENTS.md

Notes for any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, …) running inside this repo.

What this repo is

A pocket — a portable memory store for CLI agents. The whole point: you read durable knowledge from memory/general.md at the start of every session, and you can recall past conversations from chats/ regardless of which agent originally produced them.

If the human runs out of credits on one provider, they switch CLIs. The folder layout doesn't move. The context is still here.

What to do at session start

  1. Read memory/general.md. That's who the human is and how they want to be talked to. Ground every response in it. If the file is missing, run bin/pocket init first.

  2. Don't auto-ingest chats/. It can be large. Pull from it on demand via bin/pocket when a topic from a past conversation is relevant.

The pocket CLI

The bin/pocket shim runs a small TypeScript CLI in cli/ (Bun + Biome). It is the only thing you should use to read chats/ or scaffold local files.

bin/pocket init               scaffold memory/general.md + .gitkeep markers
bin/pocket recent [N]         last N sessions across all agents
bin/pocket find <pattern>     grep across every chats/*.jsonl
bin/pocket show <sessionId>   pretty-print one session
bin/pocket tail               follow the active session
bin/pocket doctor             verify deps + layout
bin/pocket help               full list of commands

Files in chats/ follow YYYY-MM-DD_<agent>_<sessionId>.jsonl. Each line is one hook event the agent emitted (UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, message.updated, etc.) with secrets scrubbed by hooks/log.sh.

The README has the canonical command table — keep it in sync when you add or change a command (see below).

Self-recursive: delegate pocket CLI work to a subagent

The rule, narrowly scoped to work on this repo's bin/pocket CLI:

  • If the human asks for a new pocket subcommand and you don't already know exactly how to write it, spawn a subagent to implement it instead of researching inside the main chat. The subagent's job is to return a finished cli/src/commands/<name>.ts plus the one-line dispatcher patch and the README row. Main context stays small.

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.
