Basic Memory is a local-first knowledge system that stores notes as Markdown files and connects them into a searchable knowledge graph for AI conversations. People and AI assistants use it to preserve project context across Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. The catalogue add-ons provide Basic Memory skills, commands, instructions, MCP integrations, hooks, settings, and a plugin.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.00414 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00166 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
pr-create 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 1mo 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.
The source is not reproduced here
Licensed AGPL-3.0
The repository is licensed AGPL-3.0, which this catalogue does not treat as permission to reproduce the file. Read it at the source.
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

pr-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository basicmachines-co/basic-memory (4,251 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 414 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.

mem0-test-integration
Verify a Mem0 integration produced by /mem0-integrate. Runs in the same workspace on the same branch (loose coupling) — installs dependencies, runs the repo's native test suite, then exercises a real end-to-end smoke flow against the user's API key. Produces a scorecard. TRIGGER when: user has just run /mem0-integrate…
mem0-integrate
Integrate Mem0 into an existing repository using a goal-driven, TDD pipeline. Detects the repo's language automatically and asks the user to pick between Mem0 Platform (managed) and Mem0 Open Source (self-hosted). Writes failing tests before any implementation. Produces a local feature branch plus .mem0-integration/…
