mind-mem AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from star-ga/mind-mem. It costs 1,002 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An instruction file for the mind-mem project that tells an agent how to retrieve and include project memory before answering. mind-mem is a tool for storing and recalling notes from earlier work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on mind-mem so the agent searches recent context before each response and can fetch details from saved observations.
Why use it?
It helps keep responses consistent with recorded decisions, discoveries, bugs, and changes from previous sessions.

This is star-ga/mind-mem's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mind-mem 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 mind-mem configures →

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

mind-mem 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 1mo 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.

6661 9:25p 🟣 mind-mem v3.4.0 Pre-Release Security Hardening The mind-mem v3.4.0 release introduces four new recall modules for enhanced AI memory retrieval. A two-agent security audit identified and fixed six issues before final review: prompt injection via evidence wrapping, missing iteration limits on iterative_retrieve (now capped at 5 rounds, 3 followups, 20 total queries), unsafe follow-up query patterns (now regex-validated), out-of-bounds temporal dates, unsafe object deduplication using id() instead of content fingerprints, and a NameError when sub_queries was empty. The LoCoMo benchmark on conversation-0 jumped from 77.06 to 95.0 with the new features enabled, indicating significant retrieval quality improvements. ~378t 🛠️ 19,507

6702 11:17p 🔵 mind-mem v3.8.x Ship Train Complete — 11 Releases Audited The mind-mem v3.8.x release train spanning 10 versions completed the Model Safety Audit theme end-to-end: Ed25519 signing of model manifests, HuggingFace base_model allowlists, MCP tool wrappers for audit/sign/verify, a load-gate registry enforced inside the transformers extractor, CI hooks for auditing pinned models, and a full MIC/MAP Python toolchain for MIND IR serialization. The v3.8.8 release added Hypothesis fuzzing and 26 adversarial DoS tests which caught a real UnicodeDecodeError leak. v3.8.9 added a streaming MICB parser with bounded memory. v3.8.10 added an optional Cython accelerator for hot-path serialization primitives. Social Ingestion was architecturally descoped from mind-mem and moved to the agent layer, recognizing that fetching is an agent concern not a memory concern. Next priorities include v3.9.0 (hash-of-code invalidation, per-byte lineage) and v4.0.0 (sharded Postgres, Kubernetes operator, gRPC, event fan-out). ~519t 🔍 22,157

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.
