memai-checkpoints

memai-checkpoints is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Filipe-Soares-de-Almeida/MemAI. It costs 162 tokens per session (2,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for managing MemAI checkpoint records, which are short summaries of where ongoing work currently stands. It keeps the current checkpoint and retires older ones after preserving any lasting knowledge elsewhere.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify the checkpoint that still describes live work, archive closed or superseded checkpoints, and move lasting facts into durable notes when needed.
Why use it?
It prevents outdated work summaries from piling up or replacing useful information. Changes are proposed for human review before they are applied.

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

memai-checkpoints 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

memai-checkpoints — the lifecycle of a checkpoint

A checkpoint is a bearing summary — where the work stands — transient and replaced as the work moves on ([[memai-memory]] §5). The durable knowledge lives in note/reasoning/anti_pattern. This skill keeps only the bearing still needed and retires the rest without losing knowledge: if the durable part is not in a note yet, it goes there first ([[memai-distill]]).

This skill does not curate note. Only type=checkpoint records enter here.

It proposes; it does not apply. Everything below is staged through optimize_stage and applied or rejected by the human in the dashboard. The destructive kinds it can stage — archive and distill — are rejected without a non-empty verified describing the live-facts check behind them.


1. The state of the work is declared by the project

Every decision below turns on whether the work a checkpoint is the bearing for is live, paused or closed. That state is not in the store: MemAI records where the work stood, not whether it is still open.

So read it from whatever the host project declares as its source of truth for the state of work — a section of its own CLAUDE.md, an issue tracker, the branch and the git log, a status file the project keeps. This skill reads that source; it never infers the state from a checkpoint's own wording, from its age, or from a domain having gone quiet. Establish what the source is before the first decision, and take what it says as the state.

The checkpoint's domain is what joins it to that work. A ticket or issue is one segmentproj-1042, where the hyphen is not a level ([[memai-memory]] §2.1) — so it can be the whole path or sit inside one (proj-1042/p200), and a filter on proj-1042 covers the subtree either way.

State of the work Decision on its checkpoints
Closed archive — but only after confirming with search/recall that the durable part is already in a note. If it is not, do not stage the archive: running standalone, apply [[memai-distill]]'s logic (distill, or note() directly) to save the lesson FIRST, or hold the archive and report the checkpoint as "durable pending". Never archive knowledge away because a distill pass has not run.
Live / paused Keep the most recent (created_at DESC) as the bearing. Archive the intra-session trail behind it, each with a supersedes link → the one kept (§4).
Not declared — the project names no source of truth, or its source does not mention this work Keep the most recent and report the rest as a question for the human: is this still open, or delivered and waiting to be closed? Stage nothing destructive. Do not invent a state.

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.
