memory

A memory-management skill for the Membrain knowledge graph, a connected store of entities and relationships. It supports searching, tracing related information, adding observations, creating episodes, and checking status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search memory, follow connections with a breadth-first trace, add facts, save timestamped notes, or inspect graph health when Membrain is available.
Why use it?
It helps retrieve relevant past knowledge and record new information instead of relying only on the current conversation.

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.

membrain Memory

Overview

Interface with the membrain knowledge graph — search entities, trace BFS traversals, add observations, create episodes, and check graph health.

Graceful degradation: If membrain MCP tools are not available, print install instructions and exit. If the HTTP server is not running, skip HTTP-dependent subcommands and say so.

Subcommands

Parse the argument after /memory to determine which operation to run.

Invocation Operation
/memory search <topic> Search the graph for entities matching the topic
/memory trace <query> Run BFS traversal and display token savings
/memory add <entity> <observation> Add an observation to an existing entity
/memory episode <text> Create a timestamped episode from free text
/memory status Show graph statistics (entity/relation counts)
/memory (no args) Show usage and subcommand list

Step 1: Check MCP Availability

Before any graph operation, confirm membrain MCP tools are available.

Test: Can you call search_nodes? If the tool is missing from the tool list:

membrain MCP tools are not connected.

To connect them:
  1. Install mem: go install github.com/siracusa5/membrain/cmd/mem@latest
  2. Add to Claude Code settings (or via /plugin install membrain@harness-kit):
     {
       "mcpServers": {
         "membrain": { "command": "mem", "args": ["mcp"] }
       }
     }
  3. Restart Claude Code

For the desktop UI: mem serve   (opens http://localhost:3131)

Step 2: Route to Subcommand

search <topic>

Search the graph for entities and relations related to the topic.

  1. Call search_nodes with the topic as the query
  2. If results < 3, try decomposing the topic into individual keywords and search each (max 2 additional calls)
  3. Format results:
## Memory: "<topic>"

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository harnessprotocol/harness-kit (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,519 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
