neural-memory: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

neural-memory CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Yakoub-ai/neural-memory. It costs 1,291 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using Neural Memory, a knowledge graph that records code, bugs, tasks, and insights so a coding agent can find project context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working with the Neural Memory plugin, its commands, its MCP server, or its codebase and bug index.
Why use it?
They explain how to build, search, inspect, refresh, and maintain the project’s stored context instead of repeatedly reading the whole codebase.

Written for Claude Code: UserPromptSubmit hook event.

This is Yakoub-ai/neural-memory's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on neural-memory 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 neural-memory configures →

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 A, and why

neural-memory 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Neural Memory Plugin

Neural Memory is a knowledge graph that maps your codebase into four layered, navigable layers — code, bugs, tasks, and insights — so Claude always has deep context without re-reading files.

Quick Start

  1. First time? Run /neural-index to build the knowledge graph
  2. Search: /neural-query to find functions, classes, or concepts
  3. Deep dive: /neural-inspect to see a node's full context, callers, and callees
  4. Stay fresh: /neural-update after code changes
  5. Check health: /neural-status to see index freshness
  6. Save knowledge: /neural-insight to generate docs from accumulated insights

How It Works

The plugin parses your codebase into a four-layer directed graph:

Codebase layer — AST-parsed nodes, LSP-enriched:

  • Nodes: modules, classes, functions, methods, project/directory overviews
  • Edges: calls, imports, inheritance, containment
  • Languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java, C/C++

Bugs layer — auto-imported from .claude/context-log-gotchas.md or via MCP tool:

  • Nodes: bug entries with severity, status, root cause, fix description
  • Edges: RELATES_TO code nodes by file path

Tasks layer — auto-imported from .claude/context-log-tasks-XX.md or via MCP tool:

  • Nodes: phases, tasks with status and priority
  • Edges: PHASE_CONTAINS task, RELATES_TO code nodes
  • Task statuses: pendingin_progresstestingdone (auto-archived)

Insights layer — accumulated technical knowledge across sessions:

  • Nodes: design decisions, architecture patterns, performance tradeoffs
  • Edges: RELATES_TO code nodes
  • Synthesized into docs via neural_generate_docs / /neural-insight

Embeddings: 138-dim composite (100-dim TF-IDF+SVD content + 38-dim structural graph features) Search: three-phase branch search — seed by cosine similarity → graph expansion → weighted rank Security: Secrets, API keys, and sensitive values are automatically redacted LSP: Pyright/pylsp enrichment for high-importance nodes (type signatures, diagnostics)

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.

neural-memory CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Yakoub-ai/neural-memory (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,291 tokens to every session, about $0.0065 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
