amnesia

A session recap tool for returning to work after an interruption. It summarizes when the session started, the last request, what happened, and important earlier decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to catch up on a paused coding session or find out what changed while you were away.
Why use it?
It restores context without repeating commands or rereading the project from scratch.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

amnesia 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.

What it actually says

Amnesia

Overview

Reorient the user after they stepped away. Report what the session is, where it left off, and what changed while they were gone.

Answer from the conversation already in context. Do not re-run builds, re-read files, or start new work to produce this recap.

Output

Report these four sections, in order.

Session started

When this session began. Use timestamps available in the conversation context. If no timestamp is available, say so plainly instead of guessing — an approximation stated as fact is worse than "unknown".

Last user message

When the user last wrote, and the verbatim text of that message — the one before this request, not this request itself. Quote it; do not paraphrase. If it was long, quote the first few lines and mark it as truncated.

Since then

What happened after that message: files created or modified, commands run and their outcome, conclusions reached, questions asked and still unanswered. Include failures and abandoned attempts — those are the part a returning user is most likely to have missed.

Also worth knowing

Significant changes from earlier in the session that are still relevant: decisions made, approaches reversed, work left unfinished, anything agreed to but not yet done. Skip this section entirely if the session holds nothing beyond what the previous section already covered.

Rules

  • Be brief. This is a status readout, not a transcript.
  • Never invent timestamps, file names, or outcomes. Unknown is an acceptable answer.
  • Distinguish what was done from what was only proposed.
  • If the session has no prior user message, say that this is the first turn and stop.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

amnesia is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heapy/kortex (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 448 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
