MemoryCustodian CLAUDE.md

MemoryCustodian CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from waittim/MemoryCustodian. It costs 153 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for MemoryCustodian, a tool that manages plain-text memory for coding agents. They specify which memory files to read, how to limit memory use, and how to run tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when making substantial changes to MemoryCustodian, especially when reading project memory, recording decisions, or running its Python tests.
Why use it?
They help the agent use only relevant project memory, avoid storing sensitive information, and suggest updates when decisions or corrections matter.

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

MemoryCustodian 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Claude Code Instructions

This repository builds MemoryCustodian: local plain-text memory governance for coding agents.

MemoryCustodian

Default behavior:

  • Read docs/memory/manifest.md and docs/memory/brief.md, choose a canonical task, and expose touched/planned paths or an explicit area.
  • Use strict routing and stop substantial work on incomplete/invalid routing or unresolved conflicts.
  • Never infer area/profile routes from prose or load archive/inbox outside explicit maintenance.
  • Keep memory usage minimal.
  • Suggest memory updates after decisions, repeated corrections, or rejected approaches.
  • Never store sensitive or personal information unless explicitly requested.

Run tests with:

PYTHONPATH=cli python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
Changes

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.
