waypoint:set

waypoint:set is a skill for Claude Code from aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp. It costs 14 tokens per session (446 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-saving tool that records important project context in searchable memory and creates a named resumption point, called a waypoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps preserve architecture decisions, implementation patterns, codebase insights, resolved blockers, branch details, and unfinished work for future sessions.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to reconstruct decisions, discoveries, blockers, and current status when continuing work later.

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

waypoint:set 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Create a comprehensive waypoint snapshot using vector-memory.

1. Extract & Store Memories

Review the session for significant items worth persisting long-term.

Extract:

  • Architectural decisions and rationale
  • Implementation patterns discovered or established
  • Insights about the codebase structure
  • Blockers encountered and their resolutions
  • Context that would be valuable for future sessions

Skip:

  • Pleasantries and conversational filler
  • Ephemeral states (e.g., "currently running tests")
  • Information already stored in previous memories

For each significant item, call mcp__vector-memory__store_memories with appropriate metadata tags.

2. Set Waypoint

Call mcp__vector-memory__set_waypoint with:

project: [repository/project name]
branch: [current git branch]
summary: [2-3 sentences: what was the primary goal, what's the current status]

completed:
- [specific items with file paths where relevant]
- [e.g., "Implemented user auth in server/auth/login.ts"]

in_progress_blocked:
- [items still in flight with current state]
- [blockers with context on what's needed]

key_decisions:
- [decisions made and WHY - rationale is crucial]
- [e.g., "Chose JWT over sessions because X, Y, Z"]

next_steps:
- [concrete, actionable items]
- [prioritized if possible]

memory_ids:
- [IDs returned from store_memories calls above]

3. Report to User

Summarize what was stored:

  • Number of memories created
  • Key topics captured
  • Waypoint stored confirmation

Guidelines

  • Be thorough but concise - capture context that would take time to reconstruct
  • Include file paths - makes resumption faster
  • Explain decisions - future-you won't remember why
  • Link memories - use memory_ids to connect related context
  • Skip the obvious - don't store things easily discoverable from code
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.

waypoint:set is a skill published in the GitHub repository aeriondyseti/vector-memory-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 446 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
