memory

A project memory-management guide for searching, reviewing, pruning, and adding stored context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view memory summaries, search remembered topics, audit memory files, remove stale memories, or record a new project memory.
Why use it?
It helps recover past decisions while identifying stale or duplicate memories that could make project context unreliable.

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 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Management

Manage the auto-memory system for the Ambient Code Platform project.

Usage

/memory                    # Show summary of all memories
/memory search <query>     # Search for a topic
/memory audit              # Check for stale/duplicate memories
/memory prune              # Remove stale memories (with confirmation)
/memory add <topic>        # Create a new memory

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Parse the subcommand from $ARGUMENTS. Default to summary if empty.

Memory Location

All memory files live at:

$HOME/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/memory/

Use the active project's slug (the repo path with / replaced by -).

The index file is MEMORY.md in that directory.

Subcommands

/memory — Summary

  1. Read MEMORY.md to get the index
  2. Count total memories by type (user, feedback, project, reference)
  3. List the most recently modified files
  4. Report: total count, breakdown by type, last modified dates

/memory search <query>

  1. Read MEMORY.md for the index
  2. Grep through all memory files for the query term
  3. Read matching files and show relevant excerpts
  4. Report: matching files with frontmatter (name, type, description)

/memory audit

Check for quality issues:

  1. Stale memories — project/reference memories older than 3 months may be outdated
  2. Duplicate memories — similar names or descriptions across files
  3. Missing frontmatter — files without proper name, description, type fields
  4. Orphaned files — memory files not referenced in MEMORY.md
  5. Broken linksMEMORY.md entries pointing to nonexistent files
  6. Oversized indexMEMORY.md approaching the 200-line truncation limit

Report each issue with the file path and suggested action.

/memory prune

  1. Run the audit checks
  2. Present findings to the user
  3. For each stale/duplicate/orphaned memory, ask: keep, update, or delete?
  4. Execute confirmed deletions
  5. Update MEMORY.md index accordingly

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository ambient-code/platform (129 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 957 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.
