init

A setup skill for OwnMem, a local memory system for coding agents, inside the current project repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize OwnMem for Claude Code or Codex, choose memory layers, add an optional recall hook, and check or audit the installation.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to install or update OwnMem while preserving existing host instructions outside its generated sections.

Getting it into your agent

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

init 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.

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.

What it actually says

Set up OwnMem in this repository

OwnMem requires Node.js 20.6 or newer. Install the reviewed dependency, then generate the host adapters:

npm install --save-dev ownmem
npx ownmem init --locale auto --hosts claude,codex --layers dashboard --hook --command "npx ownmem"

Adjust the flags before running:

  • --hosts: claude, codex, or claude,codex — match the tools the team uses.
  • --layers: core, gates, compiler, or dashboarddashboard adds the local Web console.
  • Drop --hook if the team does not want the Claude Code PreToolUse recall guard.

Initialization creates .ownmem/ plus bounded ownmem-generated blocks in the host instructions, and preserves every line outside those boundaries. Verify:

npx ownmem init --check
npx ownmem audit

To update after a version bump (for example a Dependabot pull request):

npx ownmem init --update && npx ownmem init --check && npx ownmem audit
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.

init is a skill published in the GitHub repository grpcer/ownmem (191 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 300 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
