issue-memory

issue-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ebizsoft/agentic-claude-code. It costs 201 tokens per session (1,890 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup pattern that stores an agent team's decisions and current project state in a pinned GitHub issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create the project log, labels, and repository instructions, then support session-start reading and session-end updates.
Why use it?
It gives agents durable memory between sessions, so they can continue work without relying on the previous conversation.

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

issue-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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/bootstrap.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

issue-memory — GitHub issues as durable agent memory

A stateless agent forgets everything between sessions. This pattern gives it a durable, GitHub-native memory that survives context resets and hands off cleanly between sessions and between agents: one pinned issue per repo, titled "Project log", that any agent reads first and updates last.

The skill is an installer + reference, not a runtime. It does not "run" during a work session. It (a) seeds a repo with the labels, the pinned log, and a CLAUDE.md conventions block (scripts/bootstrap.sh), and (b) documents the conventions so agents apply them. The enforcement mechanism is the target repo's CLAUDE.md — that file is auto-loaded every session, so the rituals below only actually happen if the conventions section lives there. templates/claude-md-section.md is that section; bootstrap prints it to append.

What the Project log is (and is not)

One issue per repo, titled "Project log", pinned, labelled agent-context + decision. It holds three things and nothing else:

  1. A numbered decision register — every decision that overrides the spec, handoff, or docs, recorded before or with the code that depends on it.
  2. A current-state summary — where the project is right now, at summary altitude.
  3. An open-decisions list — what is blocked on a human, cross-referencing needs-decision issues.

It is not a changelog and not a work tracker. See "Log altitude" below.

The two rituals

These live in the target repo's CLAUDE.md so every session inherits them.

  • Session start: run gh issue list --state open and read the pinned Project log issue before writing any code. That is the state of the world; specs and docs are older than it.
  • Session end: comment on every issue you touched with what is done and what is half-finished, so the next session sees exactly where to resume. Close issues with Closes #N in commit messages — never by hand, so the close is tied to the commit that did the work.

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.
