MemOS AGENTS.md

A project guide for AI coding tools working on MemTensor’s MemOS repository, a Python library and web service for storing and managing different kinds of AI-agent memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents navigate the codebase, find major components, run the command-line tool or service, and use the documented API and repository layout.
Why use it?
It gives coding tools one shared source of project facts, so they can understand the repository and use the correct commands and package names.

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 C, and why

MemOS AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Do not run wide-scope `rm -rf` outside `src/`; do not `git push --force` or `git reset --hard origin/*`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Single source of truth for the project across AI runtimes. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, etc. all defer to this file. Runtime-specific adaptation belongs in each runtime's own file (Claude reads CLAUDE.md); do not mix it in here.

Project Overview

MemOS / MemoryOS: a memory operating system for LLM agents. Python library plus a FastAPI service, providing multiple memory types (textual / tree / preference / skill / KV cache / LoRA parametric) plus scheduling, version management, and vector & graph storage.

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.

MemOS AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository MemTensor/MemOS (11,091 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,750 tokens to every session, about $0.0137 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
