memory

A system for storing durable project or global notes in Markdown files so they can be reused in later coding-agent sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read and update shared user preferences or notes specific to the current project.
Why use it?
It preserves stable preferences, project conventions, and paths without mixing them with temporary progress, secrets, or one-off results.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 28 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 248 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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

Memory

Use this skill only for durable Markdown memory:

  • Global memory: .opc/memory/global.md
  • Project memory: .opc/memory/projects/<current_project_id>.md
  • Prefer the absolute OPC_GLOBAL_MEMORY_PATH and OPC_PROJECT_MEMORY_PATH shown in runtime context or environment; do not create a separate .opc/memory under the workplace.

What To Save

  • Global: stable cross-project user preferences, communication defaults, standing constraints.
  • Project: current-project preferences, workspace overrides, repo paths, architecture constraints, coding conventions, delivery requirements.
  • Never save secrets, copied transcripts, temporary progress, speculative notes, or one-off task results.

When to Update

  • Update only during interaction with the user, and only when the user states or confirms something that should matter in later sessions.

How to Update

Read before editing. Merge, deduplicate, replace stale items, and keep entries compact. Do not mix project IDs: write project memory only to the current project's file.

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 HKUDS/OpenOPC (1,594 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 248 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
