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 | $0.00077 | $0.01455 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00582 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
pull-request 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.

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.

pull-request is a skill published in the GitHub repository basicmachines-co/basic-memory (4,251 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,455 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.

flag-cleanup
Weekly reusable-session feature-flag cleanup for {{targetrepo}}. Inventories every feature flag, classifies each as fully rolled out, long dead, partial rollout, or active experiment, removes the flag and the dead branch it guards on an isolated branch when the suite is green, and opens a PR — never touching a flag…
lean-review
CocoLean diff-scoped over-engineering audit — scans uncommitted git diff and applies five classification tags (delete/stdlib/native/yagni/shrink) to identify unnecessary surface area before commit.
github-commenting
How to post clean, rich, deduplicated GitHub PR review comments — suggestion blocks, multi-line anchors, markers, formatting rules. Load before posting or fixing any PR comment.
guardian
Gatekeeping Git/PR by classifying change essence and recommending granularity, naming, and strategy; the ship recipe also executes PR delivery (create, CI watch, merge, cleanup) with Ask First on merge. Use when PR preparation, commit strategy, or gated PR delivery is needed.
code-changes
Change the user's own program, on their machine or through GitHub. Use when a request needs a change to the user's code (instrument tracing, wire the SDK, fix the agent behind a failing scenario, add a run parameter to a connected agent, version a hardcoded prompt) and not when the platform alone can do it (create a…
merge-contributor-pr
Take a contributor's pull request that cannot be merged as-is — usually a conflict with main — resolve the blocker without rewriting their commits, and merge it with a merge commit so their authorship survives. Detects the case where the conflict exists because the same feature already landed through another PR, and…
