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.

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 | $0.01708 | $0.01708 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00854 | $0.00854 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
automem AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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.

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

Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Modules
automem/: Core package. Notable dirs:api/(Flask blueprints),utils/,stores/,config.py.app.py: Flask API entry point used in local/dev and tests.tests/: Pytest suite (test_*.py), plus legacy benchmark harnesses undertests/benchmarks/.benchmarks/: Snapshot-based benchmark system. SeeEXPERIMENT_LOG.mdfor current baselines and results.scripts/bench/: Benchmark tooling (ingest, eval, compare, health check).docs/: API, testing, deployment, monitoring, and env var references.scripts/: Maintenance and ops helpers (backup, reembed, health monitor). See the canonical scripts catalog for lifecycle and usage.mcp-sse-server/: Optional MCP bridge used in some deployments.
Build, Test, and Development
make install: Create.venv(and symlinkvenv -> .venv) and install dev deps. Prefers Python 3.12 and fails fast on incompatiblepython3.source .venv/bin/activate: Activate the virtualenv.make dev: Start local stack via Docker (FalkorDB, Qdrant, API).make test: Run unit tests (fast, no services).make test-integration: Start Docker and run full integration tests.make fmt/make lint: Format with Black/Isort and lint with Flake8.make bench-eval BENCH=locomo-mini: Run snapshot-based benchmark (~2 min). See Benchmarking section below.make deploy/make status: Deploy/check Railway. Quick health:curl :8001/health.
Coding Style & Naming
- Python with type hints. Indent 4 spaces; line length 100 (Black).
- Tools: Black, Isort (profile=black), Flake8; pre-commit hooks available.
- Run
pre-commit installandmake fmt && make lintbefore committing. - Naming: modules/functions
snake_case, classesPascalCase, constantsUPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
Testing Guidelines
- Framework: Pytest. Place tests in
tests/namedtest_*.py. - Unit tests:
make test. - Integration:
make test-integration(requires Docker). Seedocs/TESTING.mdfor env flags and live testing options. - Add/adjust tests for new endpoints, stores, or utils; prefer fixtures over globals.
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.

automem AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository verygoodplugins/automem (805 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,708 tokens to every session, about $0.0085 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
