amaa-session-memory

amaa-session-memory is a skill for Claude Code from Emasoft/ai-maestro-architect-agent. It costs 36 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for keeping architecture decisions, technology choices, constraints, and open questions available across coding sessions. It uses session-state and design-index files to restore context later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load prior design context, record decisions and constraints, and create or resume a handoff document.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to rediscover earlier decisions and makes handoffs between sessions clearer.

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

amaa-session-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 9d 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.

Session Memory Skill

Overview

This skill defines how the Architect agent (AMAA) handles session memory and context persistence. Session memory ensures that architecture decisions, design patterns, technology choices, and discovered constraints survive across multiple sessions, preventing loss of critical design context and enabling seamless session continuity.

Prerequisites

  • Write access to design output directories (docs_dev/design/, .claude/)
  • Understanding of AMAA role responsibilities (see plugin docs/ROLE_BOUNDARIES.md)
  • Familiarity with session state files and design index formats

Instructions

  1. Session Start -- Check for existing session state at .claude/amaa-session-state.local.md and load the design index from docs_dev/design/index.json
  2. During Work -- Persist decisions, patterns, constraints, and questions as discovered
  3. Session End -- Create handoff document if context window is near limit or session is ending
  4. Session Resume -- Load session state and latest handoff document to restore context

Checklist

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Load session state and design index on start
  • Persist decisions, patterns, constraints as discovered
  • Create handoff document when session ends

Examples

AMAA: Loading session state...
Found 4 decisions, 6 constraints, 2 open questions.
Active design: design-payments-xyz789 (architecture phase)
Next action: Resolve OQ-002 (Payment processor selection)

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Session state not found First session or file deleted Initialize new session state file
Design index corrupted Manual edit or system error Regenerate index from decision files
Handoff document incomplete Interrupted creation Re-run handoff creation procedure

Output

Output Type Location

amaa-session-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository Emasoft/ai-maestro-architect-agent (2 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 817 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 2026-08-31.
