memory-maintenance

memory-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Day1Labs/OpenAva. It costs 20 tokens per session (259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for reviewing and organizing an AI agent’s long-term memory and past conversation records. It separates lasting facts from temporary notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
For inspecting, updating, consolidating, or removing stored memory topics.
Why use it?
It helps prevent memory from becoming outdated, duplicated, or cluttered. It also provides a process for checking past conversations when exact details matter.

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-maintenance 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 4d 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

Memory Maintenance

Use this skill when the task is specifically about cleaning up, curating, or consolidating memory.

Retrieval Rules

  • Start with memory_recall to inspect relevant durable memory topics.
  • Use memory_transcript_search only when exact past conversation details or timelines matter.

Update Rules

  • Save durable facts only when confidence is high.
  • Use memory_upsert to create or update typed durable memories.
  • Use memory_forget when a memory is stale, superseded, or incorrect.
  • Prefer updating an existing topic over creating duplicates.
  • Reserve memory_transcript_search for recall, not as a write path.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the current durable memory state with memory_recall.
  2. Separate durable facts from transient notes.
  3. Update or create typed memory topics with memory_upsert.
  4. Remove obsolete topics with memory_forget when needed.
  5. Use memory_transcript_search if you need evidence from past sessions before editing.
  6. Report what changed and why.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.
