ori-memory

ori-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aayoawoyemi/Ori-Mnemos. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,890 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A persistent memory system that stores useful decisions, research, insights, and lessons in a searchable knowledge graph made from Markdown files. It is designed to retrieve that information in later sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save technical discoveries, record why decisions were made, preserve research references, and retrieve past knowledge weeks or months later.
Why use it?
It prevents valuable context from being lost between tasks or sessions. It makes older findings easier to find when the same problem or decision comes up again.

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

ori-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (plugin/__init__.py, plugin/hooks.py, scripts/setup_ori.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Ori Mnemos

Durable memory that compounds over time. A knowledge graph on markdown files with learning retrieval — capture what you find, decide, or learn during work, and retrieve it when the same problem comes up weeks or months later. The system gets better at finding things the more you use it.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • you learn something worth retrieving a week, a month, or a year from now
  • you make a decision and want to remember why (not just what)
  • you find research, references, or technical details during work that would be expensive to rediscover
  • you need to maintain persistent identity, goals, or methodology across sessions
  • you want to search across everything you have ever captured, not just what fits in context

The core question: would losing this hurt if the same situation comes up again? If yes, capture it.

Ori vs Hermes built-in memory

Hermes has MEMORY.md and USER.md — a frozen snapshot injected into every system prompt. That is the right place for always-on context: user preferences, environment facts, communication style, things the agent needs on every turn.

Ori is a searchable knowledge graph. It scales to thousands of notes because you retrieve on demand, not inject everything. Use Ori for durable knowledge that is too much to carry in every prompt but too valuable to lose — research findings, architectural decisions, project history, lessons learned, accumulated insights.

Do not use Ori for ephemeral task state: current file being edited, intermediate reasoning steps, temporary paths, things that only matter in this conversation.

Prerequisites

Install Ori globally:

npm install -g ori-memory
ori --version

Setup

One-command bridge install

ori init ~/brain
ori bridge hermes --vault ~/brain

This writes the MCP server config to ~/.hermes/config.yaml and installs a native lifecycle plugin at ~/.hermes/plugins/ori/. Restart Hermes after running.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
