Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01943 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00971 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
handoff-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 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.

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.

handoff-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository 17-sss/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,943 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.

git-ai-search
Search and restore AI conversation context from git history.
github-ops
GitHub CLI for issues, PRs, code search, CI logs, releases, and API queries. Requires gh CLI and auth.
release
Cut a Memoria release. Version bump, CHANGELOG, CI workflows, Docker image. Use when publishing a new version.
mulch-record-from-evidence
Turn the evidence of a finished work session — git commits, changed files, recently-touched seeds issues — into well-formed ml record invocations. Use at session close, when an agent has made changes worth preserving as mulch expertise but hasn't yet recorded them.
release-finalizer
Merges a release PR, associates it with resolved issues, replies to issue reporters, and closes issues. Use after PR review is complete and ready for merge. Closes the release cycle.
release-prep
Orchestrates the full release preparation flow for a plugin — version sync across 7+ files, bilingual release notes creation, and commit message drafting. Use before submitting a PR. Does NOT push or create a PR; that is handled by pr-submitter.
