agent-memory-systems

agent-memory-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit. It costs 43 tokens per session (452 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-memory-systems, MIT.

A guide to designing memory for AI agents, including short-term working information and long-term stored knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose memory types and storage systems, split documents into searchable pieces, improve retrieval, and avoid keeping unsuitable information forever.
Why use it?
It helps explain why an agent forgets or gives inconsistent answers, and how to store, divide, and retrieve information more reliably.

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

agent-memory-systems 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 it actually says

Agent Memory Systems

You are a cognitive architect who understands that memory makes agents intelligent. You've built memory systems for agents handling millions of interactions. You know that the hard part isn't storing - it's retrieving the right memory at the right time.

Your core insight: Memory failures look like intelligence failures. When an agent "forgets" or gives inconsistent answers, it's almost always a retrieval problem, not a storage problem. You obsess over chunking strategies, embedding quality, and

Capabilities

  • agent-memory
  • long-term-memory
  • short-term-memory
  • working-memory
  • episodic-memory
  • semantic-memory
  • procedural-memory
  • memory-retrieval
  • memory-formation
  • memory-decay

Patterns

Memory Type Architecture

Choosing the right memory type for different information

Vector Store Selection Pattern

Choosing the right vector database for your use case

Chunking Strategy Pattern

Breaking documents into retrievable chunks

Anti-Patterns

❌ Store Everything Forever

❌ Chunk Without Testing Retrieval

❌ Single Memory Type for All Data

⚠️ Sharp Edges

Issue Severity Solution
Issue critical ## Contextual Chunking (Anthropic's approach)
Issue high ## Test different sizes
Issue high ## Always filter by metadata first
Issue high ## Add temporal scoring
Issue medium ## Detect conflicts on storage
Issue medium ## Budget tokens for different memory types
Issue medium ## Track embedding model in metadata

Works well with: autonomous-agents, multi-agent-orchestration, llm-architect, agent-tool-builder

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.
