migrate-memory

A migration tool that converts one large GhostClaw memory file, CLAUDE.md, into three smaller files for identity, current project state, and activity history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to migrate an existing GhostClaw group, extract its personality and project status, create the new memory files, and prepare an empty log.
Why use it?
It separates long-term identity and instructions from changing project information, while keeping a backup of the original file.

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 C, and why

migrate-memory scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Migrate Memory

Migrates an existing GhostClaw group from the single-file CLAUDE.md memory system to the structured three-file system.

What it does

  1. Backs up the current CLAUDE.md to CLAUDE.md.backup
  2. Creates memory/identity.md — extracts soul, personality, user info
  3. Creates memory/state.md — extracts project status, current work
  4. Creates memory/log.md — empty, ready for the agent to start logging
  5. Rewrites CLAUDE.md to be instructions-only (no project data)

Steps

1. Identify the group folder

Ask the user which group to migrate, or default to the main group:

GROUP_DIR="$GHOSTCLAW_GROUP_DIR"

2. Back up

cp "$GROUP_DIR/CLAUDE.md" "$GROUP_DIR/CLAUDE.md.backup"

3. Read the existing CLAUDE.md

Read the full file. Identify these sections:

  • Soul/personality — voice, tone, communication style
  • About the user — name, location, projects, key people
  • About the agent — name, machine, accounts, capabilities
  • Project status — active projects, parked projects, shipped work
  • Admin/technical — file paths, IPC, scheduling, group management

4. Create memory/identity.md

Extract soul + user info + agent info into this structure:

# Identity

## Soul

[paste soul/personality section]

## About the User

[paste user details]

## About Me

[paste agent details — name, machine, accounts]

5. Create memory/state.md

Extract project status into this structure:

# Current State

Last updated: [today's date]

## Active Projects

[active projects with current status]

## Parked

[inactive/shipped projects]

## Recent Decisions

[leave empty — agent will start populating this]

6. Create memory/log.md

# Log

Append-only. Most recent first. Never edit old entries — only prepend new ones.

---

## [today's date]
- Migrated to three-file memory system (identity + state + log)

7. Rewrite CLAUDE.md

Replace the CLAUDE.md with the instructions-only template from .claude/skills/setup-ghostclaw/templates/CLAUDE.md.

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.

migrate-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository b1rdmania/ghostclaw (91 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,114 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
