honey-memory

honey-memory is a skill for Claude Code from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. It costs 14 tokens per session (818 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-memory convention that keeps durable repository facts in a committed Markdown file or an existing agent-instructions file. The facts cover architecture, commands, decisions, and known dead ends.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record where important parts of a repository live, how to build or test it, operational gotchas, and decisions that future agents need.
Why use it?
It prevents each new coding session from repeatedly rediscovering the same project information. Keeping the notes in Git makes changes and outdated facts visible alongside the code.

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

honey-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 1mo 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Honey Memory

Lever 2 applied to discovery cost. Every cold session re-greps the same things — where auth lives, the build command, why X is shaped Y. One committed file replaces N rediscovery round-trips with a single cached read, on every future session. The cheapest token is the one not re-derived.

The win is per-session and recurring. The risk is staleness — a wrong cached fact costs more than no file. So the file lives in git, next to the code that can invalidate it, and is fixed in the same change that breaks it.

Scaffold (create)

  1. One file per repo: PROJECT.md at the root, committed (not ~/.claude). If the repo already has CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, add/refresh a ## Memory section there instead — don't add a second file.
  2. Back up before overwriting an existing file: copy → FILE.original.md. If that backup already exists, stop and ask. Never clobber a restore point.
  3. Write only three kinds of fact (derive by reading the repo):
    • Architecture + conventions an agent can't cheaply grep — where things live, and why (the intent, not the file list).
    • Build / test / run commands, env, and gotchas.
    • Decisions and dead-ends — choices made, paths tried and rejected. This is intent; it is never in the code.
  4. Report what was written and the file path.

Never store

  • Anything derivable from source — code structure, symbol locations, past fixes, git history. Re-deriving is cheaper than maintaining, and never stale.
  • Secrets, tokens, credentials. The file is committed.
  • Transient state — open TODOs, this-week status. That rots fastest.

If a fact is stable + expensive-to-rediscover + not-in-the-code, write it. Everything else, let agents derive on demand — caching it is where these systems quietly lose money.

Update

A markdown file does not update itself. Reliability = discipline, not infra:

  • Same-change rule (primary). When code changes invalidate a fact, fix the fact in the same commit. Review catches drift because the file is in git.
  • On-demand refresh. Re-read the repo and rewrite stale entries; show the diff. Don't blind-append — appending is how these files bloat and rot.
  • Treat a fact as superseded, not accumulated: replace the old line, don't stack a new one beside it.

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.
