Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.00982 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00393 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00196 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00098 |
Grade A, and why
memory-init 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Memory Bootstrap
Scan the current project and populate the memory with foundational knowledge. This gives Claude an informed starting point instead of beginning from scratch.
Discovery Steps
Perform these steps in order. For each step, read the relevant files, extract key information, and store it using memory_store or memory_store_batch.
1. Project Identity
Look for and read:
CLAUDE.md,.claude/CLAUDE.md,.claude/settings.jsonREADME.md,READMEpackage.json,Cargo.toml,pyproject.toml,go.mod,Gemfile,pom.xml,build.gradle
Store as semantic memories with titles:
- Project name and description
- Programming language(s) and framework(s)
- Key dependencies and their purposes
- Version requirements
2. Project Structure
Run a directory listing (top 2-3 levels) and analyze the layout.
Store as semantic memories with titles:
- High-level architecture (monorepo, monolith, microservices, etc.)
- Key directories and their purposes
- Entry points and main modules
3. Build, Test & Run
Look for and read:
package.jsonscripts sectionMakefile,Taskfile.yml,justfileDockerfile,docker-compose.yml- CI configs:
.github/workflows/,.gitlab-ci.yml,Jenkinsfile
Store as procedural memories:
- How to install dependencies
- How to build the project
- How to run tests
- How to start the dev server
- How to deploy (if CI config is present)
4. Conventions & Patterns
Look for and read:
CLAUDE.md(coding conventions, rules).eslintrc,.prettierrc,biome.json,ruff.tomltsconfig.json,.editorconfig.env.example,.env.template
Store as pattern memories with titles:
- Code style conventions (formatting, naming)
- Linting rules and their rationale
- Environment variables and their purposes
- TypeScript/compiler configuration choices
5. Architecture Decisions
Look for and read:
CLAUDE.md(architectural notes)docs/,ADR/,architecture/directories- README sections about architecture
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 118 lines · 61 tokens per session scan A 92e23434bbfb
memory-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository d2a8k3u/claude-code-memory (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 982 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 2026-08-31.

alive:save
The human wants to checkpoint. Or: the stash has grown heavy — 5+ items, 30+ minutes, a natural pause in the work. The squirrel doesn't decide when to save. It surfaces the need and lets the human pull the trigger. Runs the full save protocol: confirms stash, writes log, updates state, generates projections…
alive:capture-context
Use when external content arrives in the session — emails, transcripts, screenshots, documents, files, or in-session research worth keeping. Also use when there's nothing obvious to capture — the skill checks 03Inbox/ for unrouted files and enters inbox scan mode. Stores raw content, routes to bundles, extracts tasks…
alive:load-context
The human mentions a walnut to work on, asks about a specific venture/experiment/project, or wants to check status — not just explicit 'load X'. Load the brief pack (3 files), resolve the people involved, check the active bundle — then surface one observation and ask what to work on. Context loads in tiers: walnut and…
alive:session-history
Revive sessions (quick or heavy), browse, and search — 'what happened recently?', 'find the session where we discussed X', 'revive yesterday's session'. For single-session recall and multi-session browsing. If the human needs to merge multiple sessions into one working context or detect conflicts between parallel…
alive:mine-for-context
Deep context extraction from source material. Creates reference bundles, builds extraction plans, tracks what's been extracted, and discovers new targets — people, subjects, patterns, connections. The archaeologist that turns raw sources into structured knowledge. Can be invoked by alive:session-history for targeted…
alive:my-context-graph
Render an interactive map of your world. Generates the world index from all walnut and bundle frontmatter, then produces a force-directed graph showing connections between walnuts, people, bundles, and tags. Opens in the browser.
