memory

memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Bumblebiber/its-over-9k. It costs 84 tokens per session (728 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memory integration for coding-agent sessions that stores project context between sessions. It can use TIM or hmem, which are separate memory tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load a short project briefing, recall earlier work when needed, and save important progress before clearing or ending a session.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat project background and past decisions whenever a new session starts or an old task resumes.

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

memory 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

memory — Sessions Never Start From Zero

A memory MCP turns the most expensive part of every session — re-establishing context — into one cheap call. Supported backends:

Both follow the same token discipline below. Choose (or switch) via /o9k-init. Custom MCPs can be wired manually; o9k-memory hooks only auto-drive TIM and hmem.

No memory MCP configured? Point the user at /o9k-init (or npm i -g tim-cli && tim init / npm i -g hmem-mcp && hmem init), then continue without memory features.

Session start — briefing, not history

  1. Call the project-loading tool (load_project or equivalent) ONCE.
  2. Budget: the injected briefing must stay in the low hundreds of tokens — summaries and IDs, never full entries or raw history.
  3. Everything deeper is on-demand: drill into an entry only when the current task needs it (progressive disclosure — you pay for what you read).

During the session

  • User references the past without an ID ("letzte Woche", "the schema we chose", "that auth bug") → search memory BEFORE asking the user or grepping the repo. Prefer dispatching the search (see dispatch) so candidate entries never load into the main context.
  • Something durable happened — a decision with a reason, a lesson from a failure, an error and its fix, a milestone → write it now, compactly: one-line summary on top, detail below. Do not transcribe the conversation.
  • Don't duplicate: search before writing; extend the existing entry instead of creating a twin.

Before context dies — the flush

Approaching compaction, /clear, or session end:

  1. Persist open state: what was done, what's in progress, the exact next step.
  2. Persist anything said-but-not-saved that survives the "will a future session need this?" test.
  3. THEN allow compaction/clear. Compaction summaries are lossy; memory is not.

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.

memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository Bumblebiber/its-over-9k (0 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 728 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
