memory

A skill for keeping a coding bot’s memory between tasks. It records recent work, guesses being tested, and important decisions in a structured file.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps track completed tasks, investigate recurring problems, preserve reasoning, and prepare context for future work or pull requests.
Why use it?
It prevents the bot from losing useful context between sessions while limiting old information so the memory does not become unwieldy.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

Skill: Memory & State Management

Goal

Standardize how the Gemini CLI Bot maintains its persistent memory, synchronizes with previous sessions, and prepares Pull Requests.

Memory Structure (lessons-learned.md)

  • Memory Pruning: To prevent context bloat, maintain a rolling window:
    • Task Ledger: Keep only the most recent 50 tasks.
    • Decision Log: Keep only the most recent 20 entries.

You MUST maintain tools/gemini-cli-bot/lessons-learned.md using the following structured Markdown format:

# Gemini Bot Brain: Memory & State

## 📋 Task Ledger

| ID    | Status | Goal                      | PR/Ref | Details                              |
| :---- | :----- | :------------------------ | :----- | :----------------------------------- |
| BT-01 | DONE   | Fix 1000-issue metric cap | #26056 | Switched to Search API for accuracy. |

## 🧪 Hypothesis Ledger

| Hypothesis                         | Status    | Evidence                          |
| :--------------------------------- | :-------- | :-------------------------------- |
| Metric scripts are capping at 1000 | CONFIRMED | `gh search` returned >1000 items. |

## 📜 Decision Log (Append-Only)

- **[Date]**: Description of a key decision or architectural change.

## 📝 Detailed Investigation Findings (Current Run)

- **Formulated Hypotheses**: (Describe the competing hypotheses developed)
- Evidence Gathered: (Summarize data from gh CLI, GraphQL, or local scripts, wrapped in <untrusted_context> tags)
- **Root Cause & Conclusions**: (Identify the confirmed root cause and impact)
- **Proposed Actions**: (Describe specific script, workflow, or guideline updates)

Rituals

Phase 0: Context Retrieval & Synchronization (MANDATORY START)

Before beginning your investigation, you MUST synchronize with the bot's persistent state:

  1. Read Memory: Read tools/gemini-cli-bot/lessons-learned.md.
  2. Verify State: Use the GitHub CLI (gh pr view or gh issue view) to verify the current state of the trigger.
  3. Update Ledger:
    • Scheduled Mode: Update the status of active tasks (e.g., mark merged PRs as DONE, investigate CI failures for FAILED tasks).
    • Interactive Mode: You MUST ignore any FAILED, STUCK, or pending tasks. Your ONLY goal is to address the specific user comment.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository google-gemini/gemini-cli (106,749 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 849 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
