dory-wake

A session-start guide for loading a limited amount of relevant Dory memory before substantive work. Dory is a memory system for agent sessions, and the guide selects profiles such as coding, writing, or privacy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a session or task change to load the right memory profile, optionally for a known project, and reuse the loaded context during the session.
Why use it?
It helps an agent begin with useful project context without repeatedly loading everything or treating old memory as current. It also defines when to reload context, such as after compaction or a real task switch.

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

dory-wake 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.

What it actually says

Dory Wake

Dory wake is the default session-start memory read for all projects, not only the Dory repo. Use dory wake once at the start of a new agent session, after context compaction, or at a real task switch before doing substantive work. Do not rerun wake just because a new user turn arrived when the current wake block is still in context.

Workflow:

  1. Choose the wake profile from the task: coding for software/project implementation, writing for content/copy/voice work, and privacy for boundary-sensitive questions.
  2. If a suitable wake block is already present in the current context and no compaction/task switch happened, reuse it instead of calling wake again.
  3. Run dory_wake(profile="<chosen-profile>", budget_tokens=1200) when MCP tools are available.
  4. If the current task or repo maps to a known Dory project, pass project="<name-or-slug>".
  5. If MCP is unavailable but the local CLI is available, run uv run dory --corpus-root <corpus> --index-root <index> wake --agent <agent> --profile <chosen-profile>.
  6. Treat the returned block as frozen startup context, not as editable memory.
  7. If the wake block looks stale, use targeted search/get before rerunning wake.

Rules:

  • Use profile=coding for project/agent work, profile=writing for voice/content work, and profile=privacy for boundary-sensitive questions
  • Wake responses include the selected profile; verify it when debugging agent setup
  • Do not call wake repeatedly inside one uncompacted conversation; it bloats context and repeats stale summaries
  • Never write directly to core/ just because wake surfaced something important
  • Wake is a hot-start summary, not a substitute for search on factual questions

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.

dory-wake is a skill published in the GitHub repository deeflect/dory (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 438 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
