update-memory

update-memory is a skill for Claude Code from aksheyw/career-command-center-template. It costs 32 tokens per session (448 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memory-log workflow for recording what helped or failed in job applications, including the company, role, resume approach, cover-letter angle, referrals, outcomes, and feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an application outcome to update the customization memory with concrete patterns, such as which resume framing or cover-letter hook worked or missed.
Why use it?
It prevents useful lessons from being lost and turns individual application results into specific guidance for future applications.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

update-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 5d 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

You are updating the customization memory — the learning log that makes every future application smarter.

STEP 1: Read the current memory file

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md fully (the user's real, git-ignored file). If it does not exist yet, seed it by copying ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.example.md to that path first. Understand the existing patterns before adding anything.

STEP 2: Gather information

Ask the user (or extract from their input):

  • Which company and role?
  • What was the outcome? (Resume screen passed / rejected / screened / interviewed / offered)
  • What resume strategy was used? (Which company-type template?)
  • What was the cover letter hook?
  • Was there a referral involved?
  • For rejections: any feedback or signal about why?
  • For successes: what specific framing or metric seemed to resonate?

STEP 3: Identify the learning

Based on the outcome, generate a specific, actionable learning:

  • NOT "good resume" — say WHAT specifically seemed to work
  • NOT "bad fit" — say which framing missed the mark
  • Connect to company-type patterns already in the file

STEP 4: Update the file

Write the updated CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/CUSTOMIZATION_MEMORY.md.

Add the new entry under the correct company-type section. Update:

  • "Successful Customizations" if outcome was positive
  • "Unsuccessful Patterns" if outcome was negative or no response
  • "Screen Rate" with the updated percentage if calculable

STEP 5: Surface patterns

After updating, analyze across all logged applications:

  • Which company types are yielding screens?
  • Which cover letter hooks got the most traction?
  • Which resume strategies need improvement?
  • Are there any keywords or framings that appear in multiple successful applications?

Output a brief "What We Know So Far" summary with 3-5 actionable insights.

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.
