ax-python-agent-memory-skills

ax-python-agent-memory-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ax-llm/ax. It costs 40 tokens per session (826 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing Python code with axllm, a package for building language-model agents. It covers loading memories and skills, discovering them, and tracking which ones affected a response.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building Python agents that need memory recall, dynamic skill discovery, preloaded skills, or records of loaded and used skills.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to manage remembered information and skill instructions instead of handling that state inconsistently.

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

ax-python-agent-memory-skills 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.

AxAgent Memory And Skills For Python

This skill helps an agent write Python code with the generated Ax package axllm. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.

When To Use

  • Load memories or skill guides into an RLM agent run.
  • Use static skillsCatalog or memoriesCatalog search without host callbacks.
  • Preload constructor or forward-time skills with deterministic id merging.
  • Track which memories or skills actually influenced a turn.
  • Register non-fatal loaded/used observers in native option maps or target callback wrappers.

Package Facts

  • Language: Python.
  • Package: axllm.
  • Package API docs: API.md and axir-api.json.
  • Capability manifest: axir-capabilities.json.
  • Runnable examples: examples/.
  • Real network support: yes.
  • Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
  • Runtime profiles: javascript-quickjs, python-pyodide.

Core Pattern

from axllm import agent

helper = agent("question:string -> answer:string")
out = helper.forward(llm, {"question": "How should I proceed?"})

Lifecycle And State

  • Constructor skills seed the loaded-skill prompt without firing load observers.
  • Forward-time skills override constructor entries by normalized ID and remain loaded for later calls. IDs and names are trimmed, malformed entries are skipped, valid empty content is preserved, and rendered entries are ID-sorted.
  • A forward input named memories seeds the first actor turn. Recalled entries merge by ID for that run, then memory state resets before the next forward.
  • onSkillsSearch / onMemoriesSearch take precedence over static catalogs. Without a host callback, skillsCatalog / memoriesCatalog use the built-in deterministic lexical ranker.
  • onLoadedMemories / onLoadedSkills observe runtime recall and discovery, not constructor presets. onUsedMemories / onUsedSkills emit one consolidated notification per forward. Forward observers override constructor observers, and observer errors are ignored.
  • relevanceRanking produces advisory skill and memory hints using the same tokenization, weighting, tie suppression, limits, snippets, and already-loaded exclusion as TypeScript.
  • get_state() and set_state(...) preserve the legacy bare-runtime snapshot shape. Use export_runtime_state() and restore_runtime_state(...) for the complete portable agent snapshot, including loaded skills and constructor-preset reapplication. Do not interchange the two shapes.

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.

ax-python-agent-memory-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository ax-llm/ax (2,891 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 826 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
