superpowers-memory

superpowers-memory is a cursor rule for coding agents from SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills. It costs 263 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository memory rule for coding agents. It tells the agent to read saved project notes at the start of a new session when a .superpowers-memory folder exists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Loading project context, current state, decisions, verification notes, and other session records before work begins. It also describes how to update those records when a meaningful session ends.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat project background and preserves important decisions, known problems, and working preferences between sessions.

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

superpowers-memory 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Superpowers Memory

If .superpowers-memory/ exists in this repository, read it at the start of a new session before asking for project background.

Read in this order:

  1. .superpowers-memory/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md
  2. .superpowers-memory/CURRENT_STATE.md
  3. .superpowers-memory/DECISIONS.md when it exists
  4. .superpowers-memory/KNOWN_FAILURES.md when it exists
  5. .superpowers-memory/VERIFICATION_BASELINE.md when it exists
  6. .superpowers-memory/TEAM_PREFERENCES.md when it exists
  7. .superpowers-memory/USER_PROFILE.md when it exists
  8. .superpowers-memory/AGENT_NOTES.md when it exists
  9. The newest files under .superpowers-memory/session-journal/

When a meaningful Superpowers-related session ends, update CURRENT_STATE.md, any durable files that changed, including USER_PROFILE.md or AGENT_NOTES.md when relevant, and add a short session journal entry.

When memory updates are part of the workflow, run scripts/validate-superpowers-memory.ps1 before claiming completion.

This memory rule does not auto-enable any Superpowers workflow. Workflows still require explicit user opt-in.

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.
