memory-management

memory-management is a skill for Claude Code from fergupa/claude_plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,199 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of memory-management, Apache-2.0.

A two-level work-memory system that stores people, projects, acronyms, preferences, and company terms in working files. It helps an assistant understand shorthand and internal language used by a team.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain a glossary, profiles, project context, team information, and preferences for day-to-day collaboration.
Why use it?
Without shared context, requests containing nicknames or abbreviations can be misunderstood. Keeping frequently used information readily available reduces repeated explanations.

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

memory-management 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 3d 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 — 323 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Management

Memory makes Claude your workplace collaborator - someone who speaks your internal language.

The Goal

Transform shorthand into understanding:

User: "ask todd to do the PSR for oracle"
              ↓ Claude decodes
"Ask Todd Martinez (Finance lead) to prepare the Pipeline Status Report
 for the Oracle Systems deal ($2.3M, closing Q2)"

Without memory, that request is meaningless. With memory, Claude knows:

  • todd → Todd Martinez, Finance lead, prefers Slack
  • PSR → Pipeline Status Report (weekly sales doc)
  • oracle → Oracle Systems deal, not the company

Architecture

CLAUDE.md          ← Hot cache (~30 people, common terms)
memory/
  glossary.md      ← Full decoder ring (everything)
  people/          ← Complete profiles
  projects/        ← Project details
  context/         ← Company, teams, tools

CLAUDE.md (Hot Cache):

  • Top ~30 people you interact with most
  • ~30 most common acronyms/terms
  • Active projects (5-15)
  • Your preferences
  • Goal: Cover 90% of daily decoding needs

memory/glossary.md (Full Glossary):

  • Complete decoder ring - everyone, every term
  • Searched when something isn't in CLAUDE.md
  • Can grow indefinitely

memory/people/, projects/, context/:

  • Rich detail when needed for execution
  • Full profiles, history, context

Lookup Flow

User: "ask todd about the PSR for phoenix"

1. Check CLAUDE.md (hot cache)
   → Todd? ✓ Todd Martinez, Finance
   → PSR? ✓ Pipeline Status Report
   → Phoenix? ✓ DB migration project

2. If not found → search memory/glossary.md
   → Full glossary has everyone/everything

3. If still not found → ask user
   → "What does X mean? I'll remember it."

This tiered approach keeps CLAUDE.md lean (~100 lines) while supporting unlimited scale in memory/.

File Locations

  • Working memory: CLAUDE.md in current working directory
  • Deep memory: memory/ subdirectory

Working Memory Format (CLAUDE.md)

Use tables for compactness. Target ~50-80 lines total.

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.
