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 | $0.00010 | $0.00461 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00230 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
update-memory-bank 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 5d 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
Overview
Sync the memory bank with the current state of the repository and recent agent interactions. Run after significant work sessions, feature completions, or when context has drifted from reality.
Memory Bank Files
Each file has a distinct responsibility. Update only what changed:
| File | Purpose | Update when... |
|---|---|---|
activeContext.md |
Current state, recent commits, active work | After any meaningful commits |
progress.md |
Changelog, milestones, statistics | After feature completion |
techContext.md |
Tech stack, tools, environment | Tech stack changes |
systemPatterns.md |
Coding standards, patterns | New patterns established |
projectbrief.md |
Project purpose and scope | Rarely, only on major scope shifts |
Steps
-
Gather current state
- Run
git log --oneline -15to capture recent commits - Note any new files, commands, or rules added since last update
- Check
activeContext.md"Last Updated" date to understand the gap
- Run
-
Update each relevant file
activeContext.md: Update "Last Updated" date, "Latest Commits" list, "Recent Focus Areas", and "Cursor Commands Inventory" count if it changedprogress.md: Add a changelog entry for the current month if work occurred; update statistics if counts changed- Other files: Only touch if their specific domain changed
-
Verify accuracy
- Confirm commit hashes and descriptions match
git logoutput - Remove stale "Active Work Items" that are now complete
- Ensure statistics (command count, etc.) reflect reality
- Confirm commit hashes and descriptions match
-
Commit
- Use format:
docs(memory-bank): update memory bank with latest changes - Stage only memory bank files:
git add .cursor/memory-bank/ - Push to remote after commit
- Use format:
Guardrails
- Record only verified state; do not invent commits, files, or statistics.
- Update only the files whose domain changed; leave unchanged files alone.
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.

update-memory-bank is a skill published in the GitHub repository emaraschio/cursor-commands (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 461 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
