memory-sync

A helper that reviews automatically extracted project notes and moves the useful ones into organized memory files, such as decisions, conventions, and known hazards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a session reports pending memory candidates, or to curate notes from an ongoing project. It can also record that there was nothing to add.
Why use it?
It keeps important context from disappearing between sessions and removes the need to sort every extracted note manually.

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-sync 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (census-gate.mjs, census-measures.mjs, cli.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When invoked as a workflow phase (Phase 10.7)

This skill runs as Phase 10.7 of every committing workflow track (intake / spec / tdd / chore), between /roadmap-sync (Phase 10.6) and /grant-commit (Phase 11). The harness loop reads .claude/memory/_pending.md body, runs Step 0 canonical sweeps unconditionally, and on empty pending (zero ## CANDIDATE: blocks) short-circuits the fast-path: Steps 1–5 are skipped, Step 6 emits a one-line "no pending candidates" report, and the skill returns success. This keeps the no-op cost bounded at ≤ 3 sweep.mjs invocations per Phase 10.7 invocation.

The skill is also user-invokable outside the workflow (ad-hoc curation). When invoked ad-hoc and _pending.md is non-empty, the full Steps 1–5 flow runs identically. The fast-path activates per-invocation based on _pending.md body state, not on workflow context.

/commit (Phase 11) refuses to proceed unless memory-sync is in workflow.json → completed (or in exceptions). Empty-pending fast-path still appends "memory-sync" to completed — the prereq is satisfied either way.

(See "Method" below for the full Step 0 / Steps 1–5 / Step 6 flow.)

memory-sync — curate auto-extracted memory candidates

The memory_stop.mjs hook appends candidates to .claude/memory/_pending.md after every turn. This skill reviews them in main context (where conversation richness is preserved), commits the keepers to the right canonical file with proper metadata, and resets the pending body.

The hook is a passive collector. You are the curator. Discard noise, promote signal, deduplicate against existing canonical entries.

Inputs

  • .claude/memory/_pending.md — the pending body. Each block looks like:
    ## CANDIDATE: <key> → <target-file>.md
    - field: value
    - field: value
    
  • The seven canonical files at .claude/memory/<name>.md. Read each before deciding where a candidate lands and whether it duplicates existing content.

Method

Step 0 — Canonical sweep (closure semantics)

What ships with it

10 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.

Changes

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.

memory-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository friedbotstudio/baseline (11 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 5,439 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
