memory

memory is a skill for Claude Code from arozumenko/sdlc-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (4,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent memory system for coding agents that stores durable facts, preferences, decisions, and daily notes as plain Markdown files. Entries are organised by agent role and can be opened in Obsidian, a Markdown note-taking app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Remembering user preferences, project decisions, facts learned across sessions, and daily work logs.
Why use it?
It prevents useful information from being lost between sessions and keeps related notes findable through aliases and links. People can edit the files as well as the agent.

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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/vault.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 399 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory

Persistent per-role memory as plain markdown. You — the agent — read and write these files directly using your Read, Write, Edit, and Glob tools. No CLI, no script, no shell-path fragility. Works on any host, from any working directory.

Write it as a vault, not a pile of notes. .agents/memory/<role>/ opens directly in Obsidian, so entries carry frontmatter properties, aliases, tags and [[wikilinks]]. That is not decoration: aliases make an entry findable by the words you would actually search for, links turn isolated facts into a graph you can follow, and the updated property tells you what is due for re-verification. A human may edit this vault too — tolerate keys you did not write; never strip them.

File layout

Under .agents/memory/<role>/ (where <role> matches your agent's name: frontmatter — e.g. project-manager, python-dev, scout):

.agents/memory/<role>/
├── MEMORY.md                ← index of the entries worth INJECTING (not all of them)
├── <slug>.md                ← individual curated entries (frontmatter + body);
│                              an entry may exist with no index line — that is normal
├── project_briefing.md      ← seeded by scout at install time (type: project)
├── daily/
│   └── YYYY-MM-DD.md        ← episodic daily logs, append-only
└── snapshot.md              ← host-generated convenience (often absent)

Create directories with mkdir -p on first use. Do not write snapshot.md yourself — a host launch hook may generate it, but nothing regenerates it automatically on every host. If it's absent, that's normal: you read memory directly when you need it.

.agents/ is an IDE-neutral path so the same memory works whether this agent is running under Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, or Copilot CLI.

Legacy paths (one-time migration)

If you find memory under one of these older locations and .agents/memory/<role>/ doesn't exist, migrate it before your first write:

Old location New location
.claude/memory/<role>/ (directory) .agents/memory/<role>/ — move the whole dir
.agents-legacy/memory/<role>/ (directory, older install) .agents/memory/<role>/ — move the whole dir
.claude/memory/<role>.md (flat file, from the former project-seeder skill) .agents/memory/<role>/project_briefing.md — wrap the existing content with type: project frontmatter (see "Write" op below) and add an index line — a project briefing is preventive by definition, so it earns one

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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 arozumenko/sdlc-skills (25 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 4,805 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
