Memory recall and capture

Memory recall and capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alibaizhanov/mengram. It costs 80 tokens per session (434 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A persistent memory layer for recalling project decisions, preferences, constraints, and other useful details from earlier sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recall past decisions and preferences, or explicitly save information for future conversations.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a conversation is cleared, a machine changes, or work moves between team members.

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

Memory recall and capture 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

Mengram memory recall and capture

You have access to a persistent memory layer (Mengram) via the bundled MCP server. The memory survives /clear, machine switches, and team handoffs — it's not stored in this conversation.

When to recall

Before answering questions that reference past context the user couldn't have shared in this session, search memory. Examples:

  • "What did we decide about the database?"
  • "How did we deploy this last time?"
  • "What's the project I'm working on?"
  • "Did I tell you about my preferences?"

Use the bundled mengram MCP server's search or search_all tools. Default to top-5 results unless the user asks for more.

When to capture

Save proactively when the user shares information worth remembering across sessions:

  • Project decisions ("We're going with Postgres because…")
  • Preferences ("I always use TypeScript for new projects")
  • Constraints ("Production DB pool is capped at 5")
  • Known issues ("BM25 search breaks on Chinese queries")
  • Workflow steps that completed successfully

Use the mengram MCP server's add or add_text tool. The backend extracts facts, episodes, and procedures automatically — don't pre-structure the input, just pass the relevant conversation text.

When NOT to recall

Don't search for context the user just provided in this turn — that's already in the conversation. Memory is for what's outside the current window.

Cross-tool

The same memory is accessible from Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, and any other tool with the mengram MCP server configured. When a user says "I told ChatGPT yesterday that…", a memory search will find it.

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.
