What is letter-for-myself CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for the Letter to Myself Claude Code plugin, which saves summaries of coding sessions so work can continue later. They describe the plugin files and its process for turning saved notes into blog posts.

Use them when editing the plugin, its agents, skills, hooks, setup scripts, or the process that turns session notes into blog content.

They give the coding agent the project context and rules it needs to change the plugin safely. They also reduce the chance of losing track of work between sessions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01528	$0.01528
Opus 5.5	$0.00611	$0.00611
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00306	$0.00306

Security

Grade A, and why

letter-for-myself 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

This is a Claude Code plugin called "Letter to Myself" that implements context persistence between Claude sessions. The plugin provides an agent and skill that automatically write structured "Last Will" summaries to a .memory/ folder, enabling seamless continuity when sessions end, get compacted, or when days pass between work sessions.

Core Components

Plugin Structure

.claude-plugin/plugin.json - Plugin manifest (v1.2.1) defining name, version, and component paths
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Marketplace listing metadata
agents/letter-for-myself.md - Agent persona that handles checkpoint creation
skills/letter-checkpoint/SKILL.md - Skill that writes memory checkpoints to disk
skills/letter-init/SKILL.md - Skill that sets up the Letter to Blog CI/CD pipeline
hooks/hooks.json - Plugin hooks (Setup and SessionStart)
scripts/setup-api-key.sh - First-time setup: installs agent/skills to ~/.claude/, prompts for API key
scripts/check-project-key.sh - Per-project initialization: creates directories, copies infrastructure, shows status
CLAUDE_TEMPLATE.md - Template users copy to their projects to enable the plugin
install_agents.sh - Legacy installation script that creates a nested plugin structure

Letter to Blog Pipeline (NEW)

The plugin now includes a "Letter to Blog" feature that automatically transforms memory files into public-ready blog posts:

.github/scripts/blog_gen.py - Python script using Anthropic API for blog generation
.github/scripts/vibe_requirements.txt - Python dependencies (anthropic, python-dotenv)
.github/workflows/vibe_publisher.yml - GitHub Actions workflow triggered on .memory/ changes
drafts/ - Output directory for generated blog posts

The Memory Protocol

Memory files are stored in .memory/ as timestamp-named markdown files (letter_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.md)
Each file follows a strict template with sections: Executive Summary, Done List, Pain Log, Variable State, Next Steps
On startup, the agent reads the most recent letter file (sorted by timestamp) to restore context
On checkpoint/exit, the agent generates a new letter with current timestamp
Legacy formats (letter_YYYYMMDD_XXXX.md, letter_XX.md) are still supported for backwards compatibility

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.
