memex

memex is a cursor rule for Cursor from timurgaleev/vibestack. It costs 377 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent memory guide for an assistant using the Memex MCP server, a tool that stores and retrieves information across sessions. It explains where to look for past decisions and when to save new facts, notes, and timeline events.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps retrieve prior work, decisions, project history, and notes, then save useful discoveries and milestones for later.
Why use it?
It prevents important project context from being lost between conversations or stored in scattered places.

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

memex 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 yesterday.

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

Memex — Persistent Memory

The user's knowledge base is the memex MCP server. It is the single source of truth for cross-session memory. Do not use any other store (local notes apps, vaults) for assistant memory.

Reading Context

When the user references ongoing projects, decisions, or prior work, query memex before answering:

  • Semantic questions ("what is this product?", "what did I decide about X?") → memex search / recall
  • Everything tied to a named project or person → entity_recall, entity_timeline
  • Direct page lookup → page_get, listing → page_list
  • "What happened recently?" → chronicle_since, chronicle_day

Grep is still right for known exact strings, regex, and file globs in the current repo.

Saving Information

Save directly to memex when work produces something worth keeping:

  • Discrete facts and decisions → add_fact
  • Longer notes, designs, research → page_put / page_append
  • Timeline events (shipped X, decided Y) → add_timeline_event

When to Save

  • Architectural or design decisions made during a session
  • Discovered constraints, gotchas, or non-obvious facts about a project
  • Completed features or milestones
  • When the user says "remember this" or "note that"

Fallback

If memex tools are unavailable (server down, 401 = token rotated — re-register the MCP server), say so and continue without blocking. The MCP registration (URL + token) lives in the editor's MCP config — no secret belongs in this repo.

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.
