dump

dump is a skill for Claude Code from emaballarin/ccplugins. It costs 122 tokens per session (3,458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session checkpoint tool that saves the important, hard-to-reconstruct parts of current work into the project’s memory files. It prepares those files so a later session can continue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Saving progress when asked to log everything, create a checkpoint, update memory, or dump state, and recording durable claims, decisions, and learnings.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing decisions, discoveries, and unfinished-work context when a coding session ends or runs out of context.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

dump 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 12d 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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/mf:dump — session → project memory

Write the current session's non-derivable state to the project's auto-memory directory so a future session can resume cleanly. Idempotent: can run mid-session, at a natural checkpoint, or at end-of-session.

Important

  1. Never proliferate files. Update existing memory first; create new files only when a topic genuinely deserves its own dossier.
  2. Only log non-derivable signal. Facts recoverable from git log, current code, or AGENTS.md / PROJECT.md do not belong in memory.
  3. SOUL.md and the user-global AGENTS.md are sacred. Propose edits, never apply silently, and only when the insight is genuinely general. The user-global AGENTS.md lives at ~/.mindfunnel/AGENTS.md (reached via ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md); the per-project ./AGENTS.md is a small project-scoped stub owned by the project — don't treat them as the same file.
  4. Convert every "today" / "tomorrow" to an absolute date before writing. Run date -I if uncertain.
  5. Append atomic assertions to the ledger, don't narrate them. Claims, decisions, and learnings that carry a trust level and provenance go to ledger.jsonl (Step 5b); the narrative stays in Markdown. Never double-log one as the other — cross-reference.

Instructions

Step 1: Locate the memory directory

Use the auto-memory directory Claude Code names in its system prompt. Without one, derive it: ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/, where <slug> is the repository root — shared by its subdirectories and worktrees; $PWD outside git — with every non-alphanumeric character replaced by -. An autoMemoryDirectory setting or CLAUDE_CODE_PROJECT_DIR_NAME overrides the derivation.

bash -c 'g=$(git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir 2>/dev/null) && r=$(dirname "$g") || r=$PWD; echo ~/.claude/projects/$(printf %s "$r" | sed "s/[^A-Za-z0-9]/-/g")/memory'

The directory is usually already created by Claude Code. If not, create it before writing.

Step 2: Verify the project is primed

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.

dump is a skill published in the GitHub repository emaballarin/ccplugins (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 122 tokens to every session and 3,458 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
