consolidate-memory

consolidate-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from furkangonel/cowrangler. It costs 61 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reflective workflow for reviewing memory files about a user and their work. It looks for duplicate, outdated, overlapping, or incomplete notes and maintains an index for future sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review memory topics, merge overlapping notes, update time references, retire finished items, and sharpen lasting preferences.
Why use it?
It keeps saved context focused on durable facts and preferences instead of stale project details or repeated information.

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

consolidate-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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory Consolidation

You're doing a reflective pass over what you've learned about this user and their work. The goal: a future session should be able to orient quickly — who they work with, what they're focused on, how they like things done — without re-asking.

Your system prompt's auto-memory section defines the directory, file format, and memory types. Follow it.

Phase 1 — Take stock

  • List the memory directory and read the index (MEMORY.md)
  • Skim each topic file. Note which ones overlap, which look stale, which are thin.

Phase 2 — Consolidate

Separate the durable from the dated. Preferences, working style, key relationships, and recurring workflows are durable — keep and sharpen them. Specific projects, deadlines, and one-off tasks are dated — if the date has passed or the work is done, retire the file or fold the lasting takeaway (e.g. "user prefers X format for launch docs") into a durable one.

Merge overlaps. If two files describe the same person, project, or preference, combine into one and keep the richer file's path.

Fix time references. Convert "next week", "this quarter", "by Friday" to absolute dates so they stay readable later.

Drop what's easy to re-find. If a memory just restates something you could pull from the user's calendar, docs, or connected tools on demand, cut it. Keep what's hard to re-derive: stated preferences, context behind a decision, who to go to for what.

Phase 3 — Tidy the index

Update MEMORY.md so it stays under 200 lines and ~25KB. One line per entry, under ~150 chars: - [Title](file.md) — one-line hook.

  • Remove pointers to retired memories
  • Shorten any line carrying detail that belongs in the topic file
  • Add anything newly important

Finish with a short summary: how many files you touched and what changed.

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.
