add-memory-kind

add-memory-kind is a skill for Claude Code from EverMind-AI/EverOS. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,655 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for adding a new kind of business memory to EverOS, a framework that stores and retrieves useful information from work. It helps choose between readable text files, a database, and a search index, then connect the required parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a new persisted record type, such as a case, profile, playbook, or custom business entity.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork involved in deciding where new information belongs and prevents the storage and writing code from getting out of sync.

About the project

EverOS is a Python library and local-first memory runtime that gives AI agents a portable memory layer across apps, devices, and workflows. It stores conversations, files, and agent activity as readable Markdown while maintaining local indexes for retrieval and reuse. The catalogue add-ons provide commands, skills, hooks, and settings for using EverOS with coding agents.

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

add-memory-kind 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 6d 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.

/add-memory-kind — Add a new business memory kind

When to invoke

Adding a new persisted business entity (Episode, Case, Skill, AtomicFact, Foresight, Profile, or something custom). Multiple storage layers may be involved; this skill walks the decision then the wiring.

1. Decide the storage combination

A memory kind does not have to use all three layers. Pick by what the kind actually needs:

Need Markdown SQLite LanceDB
Human-readable / agent-editable source-of-truth text
Structured state, ACID transactions, joins, predicates
Vector / BM25 / hybrid retrieval

Common combinations seen in EverOS:

Combo Example Rationale
md only scratch notes / dump bins text-of-truth, no index needed
md + lancedb episode / memcell / case text-of-truth + semantic retrieval
md + sqlite profile / playbook / soul.md state text-of-truth + structured state to query
md + sqlite + lancedb full-blown business records when you need both transactional state AND retrieval
sqlite only audit log / task queue / LSN watermark system state, never user-facing
lancedb only rare; usually you still want md derived embeddings without text-of-truth

Rule of thumb: markdown is the truth; sqlite and lancedb are derived indexes that can be rebuilt from md. Drop md only when the kind has no human-readable form (pure system state).

2. Pick the markdown storage strategy (if md is in your combo)

Three strategies — declared in the EverOS Markdown First spec:

Strategy Filename Mutation Examples
Daily-log append <prefix>-YYYY-MM-DD.md append entries memcell / episode / case / atomic_fact / foresight
Skill-named in-place skill_<name>.md overwrite the file skills (procedural memory)
Single-file rewrite user.md / agent.md / soul.md / behaviors.md / tools.md overwrite the file profiles / playbooks

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.
