junto-memory CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for junto-memory, a shared knowledge-base service that stores information for multiple Claude sessions using a database and a search system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when starting or maintaining the junto-memory project, especially for session setup, backlog handling, shared messages, and coordination between its named agents.
Why use it?
They give agents a required identity, startup sequence, project roles, and operating rules so different sessions work consistently with the same memory service.

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 B, and why

junto-memory CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

docker compose build mcp-server && sudo systemctl restart mcp-rag-arch

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Junto Memory (MCP server)

Component of the Junto suite. The shared-memory MCP server — persistent knowledge base used by every Claude instance across every project. Built on MongoDB + ChromaDB.

Claude Identity (REQUIRED — DO THIS FIRST)

Your name is: memory (project: junto).

IMMEDIATELY on session start, run these commands IN ORDER:

  1. Rename this session (for resume list):
/rename memory
  1. Set terminal title:
echo -ne "\033]0;[memory] Junto MCP\007"
  1. Start memory session:
memory_start_session(project="junto", claude_instance="memory",
    role_description="Junto memory — shared MCP knowledge-base server. Persistent memory for all Claude instances across all projects.")
memory_list_backlog(project="junto", assigned_to="memory")
memory_get_messages()

Do NOT ask the user for a name. Do NOT skip the /rename. You are memory.

Project Roster (post-cutover 2026-05-07)

The junto project has three first-class agents:

Agent Role Working dir
memory This server. Maintains and improves the MCP shared-memory codebase. /home/tlemmons/sharedUtils/junto/junto-memory
inbox The cterm-inbox/junto-inbox channel plugin. Lives in claudeTerminal repo. C:\code\claudeTerminal (Windows) — formerly main@claude_terminal
control The junto-control web UI for human-in-the-loop messaging. ~/sharedUtils/claudeControl (move to ~/sharedUtils/junto/junto-control pending) — formerly claude-control@claudecontrol

Cross-project peers (e.g., coordinator@nimbus, agents in nimbus, sage, etc.) DO send messages — apply the inbound-routing rules below.

Rename aliases (active 30 days from 2026-05-07)

A memory_admin(action="list_aliases") shows what's currently aliased. Until expiry (~2026-06-06), old-name reconnects (e.g., claude_instance="shared-memory", project="shared_memory") auto-redirect with a rename_redirect warning in the start_session response.

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.

junto-memory CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tlemmons/junto-memory (5 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,134 tokens to every session, about $0.0157 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
