vector-memory-usage

vector-memory-usage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,871 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using project-scoped memory that persists between coding sessions and can be searched by meaning. It stores the memories in a SQLite database inside the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save, search, update, delete, and assess project memories, including decisions, blockers, and implementation knowledge.
Why use it?
It helps an agent recover earlier decisions, context, and useful findings instead of starting each session without project history. It also explains when that database should be committed or excluded from version control.

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

vector-memory-usage 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.

Vector Memory Usage

The vector memory system provides semantic, project-scoped memory storage. Memories persist across sessions and are retrieved via semantic search — meaning queries find relevant memories by meaning, not just keyword matching.

Database Storage and Version Control

The vector-memory MCP server stores its database as a single SQLite file (.vector-memory/memories.db) inside the project directory. This database should be committed to version control by default. Committing the database ensures:

  • Portability — cloning the repo includes all accumulated project context, so new sessions (or new machines) start with full memory intact
  • Collaboration — teammates benefit from shared architectural decisions, known blockers, and implementation insights
  • Durability — the database is backed up alongside the code it describes, preventing accidental loss

The database is a single SQLite file with sqlite-vec for vector search and FTS5 for full-text search. If a project has sensitive memories that should not be committed, add .vector-memory/ to .gitignore on a per-project basis — but the default expectation is to commit it.

When to Proactively Search Memories

Search memories BEFORE making decisions or assumptions. The cost of an unnecessary search is low; the cost of missing relevant context is high.

Mandatory Search Triggers

  • Architectural decisions — before choosing a library, pattern, or approach, search for prior decisions on the same topic
  • Debugging unfamiliar code — search for implementation notes, known issues, or past resolutions
  • Starting a new task — search for relevant context, prior attempts, or related decisions
  • Referential ambiguity — when the user says "the project", "that bug", "last time", "as we discussed", search to resolve the reference
  • Repeated patterns — when implementing something similar to past work, search for the established pattern

Recommended Search Triggers

  • Before suggesting solutions — check if the problem was solved before
  • When encountering unfamiliar conventions — search for project-specific patterns or standards
  • Code review context — search for why code was written a certain way before suggesting changes
  • Configuration questions — search for prior setup decisions and rationale

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.

vector-memory-usage is a skill published in the GitHub repository aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,871 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
