memrain

memrain is a cursor rule for Cursor from timurgaleev/vibestack. It costs 568 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent memory system for an assistant, using an MCP server as a shared knowledge base across sessions. It records facts, decisions, notes and project timelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for looking up project history and prior decisions, and saving useful facts, designs, research and completed milestones.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a conversation ends or a new session begins.

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

memrain 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 8d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memrain — Persistent Memory

The user's knowledge base is the memrain 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 memrain before answering:

  • Semantic questions ("what is this product?", "what did I decide about X?") → memrain 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.

Code Questions

When the repo is indexed into memrain, ask its code graph before Grep:

  • "Where is X defined?" → code_def
  • "Who calls X?" → code_callers; every other use (imports, type uses) → code_refs
  • "What does this function call?" → code_callees with <path>:<line>
  • "What breaks if I change X?" → code_blast; "where does this request end up?" → code_flow

Zero hits means unknown, not absent. An empty result is proof only when its readiness.state is ready. not_built, indexing or no_symbols — or a failed call — mean the graph cannot answer: say so, then fall back to Grep. Never report "nothing calls X" from an empty or failed query.

Saving Information

Save directly to memrain 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 memrain 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.

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.
