memory-keeper

memory-keeper is a skill for Claude Code from hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents. It costs 55 tokens per session (938 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that turns recorded analog-design runs into reusable notes for future work. It groups lessons such as convergence fixes, sizing patterns, process-design-kit quirks, and tool settings by domain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after enough runs have accumulated to update one domain's knowledge file or initialize the shared memory location.
Why use it?
It prevents useful findings from being lost between runs and helps later agents reuse confirmed experience.

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-keeper 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (distill.py, memory_root.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Keeper

Invocation

Invoke as /analog-design-infrastructure:memory-keeper --domain <domain> (or --all). This skill runs the distillation helper, reviews the candidate patterns, and updates the relevant <domain>/knowledge.md under the resolved memory root — it does not spawn an orchestrator. Pass --init (runs memory_root.py --init) to resolve and seed the central memory root and migrate any repo-local runtime data, without distilling.

Memory Root Resolution

Memory does not live at a fixed relative memory/ path. The active root is resolved by memory_root.py (the single source of truth that distill.py and tools/qor_trends.py import), in this priority order:

  1. an explicit --memory-root PATH argument
  2. the $CHIP_DESIGN_MEMORY_ROOT environment variable
  3. the central default ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/chip-design-agents/analog/memory (Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\chip-design-agents\analog\memory)
  4. the in-repo memory/ tree as a seed fallback (used only if the central root is unwritable)

The in-repo memory/ tree is the version-controlled seed: on first resolution each <domain>/knowledge.md is copied into the central root if absent (never overwriting accumulated data; runtime experiences.jsonl/run_state.md are never seeded). Orchestrators resolve this same root at session start and use it as <MEM> for every read/write. Print it with python3 plugins/infrastructure/skills/memory-keeper/memory_root.py (add --init to seed + migrate + report). Per-project scoping: export CHIP_DESIGN_MEMORY_ROOT="$PWD/memory".

Purpose

Read the Tier-1 memory/<domain>/experiences.jsonl run records, identify new issue/fix patterns and tool flags not already captured, and update the Tier-2 memory/<domain>/knowledge.md summaries without discarding still-valid content. This keeps the knowledge each orchestrator reads at session start current as experience accumulates.

Domain Rules

  1. Run the helper: python3 distill.py <domain> [--min-records N] [--memory-root PATH]. It emits a JSON summary (issue/fix pairs, tool-flag candidates, metric ranges, signoff rate) and exits with code 2 (skip) when fewer than --min-records records exist (default threshold: 5).
  2. Supported domains are listed in distill.py VALID_DOMAINS (the 14 design domains plus infrastructure and meta). Each has a numeric key_metrics field set in METRIC_FIELDS.
  3. Merge — do not overwrite: add new issue/fix patterns and tool flags to the matching section of knowledge.md; preserve still-valid existing content. De-duplicate near-identical entries.
  4. Record metric ranges (min/median/max/latest) for the domain's numeric metrics so the orchestrator has a baseline for regression awareness.
  5. Never edit experiences.jsonl — it is the append-only source of truth.

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-keeper is a skill published in the GitHub repository hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents (22 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 938 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
